MAOSD AND DISTBIBUTED WEEKLT
A Close One
At 8:00 A.M. on Tuesday, Oct¬ ober 8, a 10-year old boy iMidy missed being struclc by a train gro- ing through Huntley. The boy, who was on his way to school on his bicycle, tried to "beat" the train. He came so close to being struck that the football he was carrying in the bacic of his bicycle was suck ed under the wheels or the train.
Huntley Police Chief, Richard Nelson, who was directing traffic at Route 47, reported that it looked as if the boy was going to go under the train after the football until he yelled at the lad. Mr. Nelson stated that "all I could visnalize was pieces of little boy scattered along the track." After the train had passed the lad went home with his football.
Chief Nelson stated that the train was going about 35 miles per hour, the whistle had been sounded and the flashing light had been acti¬ vated. He stated that the boy will not be permitted to ride his bicycle to school. Mr. Nelson continued that since the death of Raymond De¬ Werdt, who was killed in a bicycle accident with a car, that the child¬ ren seem to have become more qarelete. He ss^d that he has "yelled at bicycles going to and from school more in the last two weeks than at any time since he has been in Htmtley."
