when the car in which they were rid

threw the car into the air and practi
cally demolished it. Mrs. Kirkpatrick

seriously injured. Both were badly
cut and bruised about the head and
body. Mr. Kirkpatrick and the baby
were seemingly uninjured excepting
a few bruises.
The train crew brought the family

attention.

way to recovery.
