Jacob VAN DUSEN STEPPED ASIDE JUST IN TIME TO SAVE LIFE

Churchville, July 5 - One of the most miraculous escapes that has been
witnessed in some time, took place at the station in this village yesterday
morning when Jacob VAN DUSEN, a middle aged man from Bergen, who is quite
deaf attempted to cross the tracks of the New York Central on his way to the
station after the gates had been lowered. He was apparently as unconcerned as
if in the highway. The gate tender, Joseph BURL, who was on duty, realized
the man's danger and shouted a warning, and immediately ran after him as did
several passengers who stood on the platform. But VAN DUSEN being deaf did
not hear their warnings and only realized his danger when the fast
approaching train known as no. 18 was within a few feet of him, when he
quickly stepped aside, barely missing being struck.

The hearts of a large crowd of passengers who were waiting for the
accommodation train stood still as they fully expected to see VAN DUSEN
hurled high in the air.

Brockport, July 5 - The case of Frank and Austin PALMATER of Parma, who were
arrested by Officer HOYT last Thursday for running down the carriage of

trial. When they were arrested Police Justice BENEDICT demanded $200 bail of
each of them. They experienced some difficulty in finding bondsmen for that
amount and finally an agreement was made to drop the prosecution provided
that they pay for the damages which they caused. It cost them in all $48.35.

TWINS IN HIS ARMS

Father Placed Under Arrest on the Charge of Intoxication

Little twins, a boy and a girl, barely a year old, were taken from the arms
of Thomas F. CUMMINGS, their father, at police headquarters early this
morning and given into the care of Matron MILLER. CUMMINGS was locked up on a
charge of intoxication. He had brought the twins all the way from Charlotte
clothed only in their nightgowns. A Citizen who helped him off from a car ran
to police headquarters and told Lieutenant STEIN of the condition of the
children. He sent Sergeant KLEIN and Special Yawman after CUMMINGS and they
brought him in; his coat wrapped around the girl to keep her warm.

Milk and sugar were given the babies by the matron, and in a short time they
were sound asleep. CUMMINGS lives on Clinton avenue, in the village of
Charlotte.
