A NARROW ESCAPE
PERAMBULATOR COLLIDES
WITH TRAIN
A mother wheeling a perambulator on the railway platform at Lower Hutt this morning had a most unpleasant experience when she lost control of it, and it ran into a train which was pulling out. Fortunately the train had almost passed, and the collision occurred so far back that when the perambulator fell off the platform it landed on the track behind the vehicles. The child in it, two years old, was given medical attention for its bruises and was fit to be taken home.
Tools sufficient to equip many carpenters have come into the possession of the Lower Hutt police, and some of them have been identified by carpenters as tools which disappeared as long ago as four years. The owners of the remainder are unknown.
