ENGINEER SAVES
lDDNDSlERS [WES
The alertness of the engineer of the
Pittsfield express, which passes
through Norwalk at 5:05 p. 111., and
sudden application of the brakes, are
the factors that saved the lives of
two small Italian boys, yesterday at-
ternoon. The youngsters were play-
ing on the railhoad treetle at the foot
of Methanic street at the time the
‘express train was due-from DanTrury.
‘As the train came along the endnn-l'
gored youths apparently did not hear
it for they made no effort to get off.
The engineer brought his train to a
'dead stop just two feet away from
the boys.- E
