SHOCKING DEATH OF A CHILD.
[by telegraph. —PßESS ASSOCIATION.] Marton, Wednesday. A sad fatality occurred at Great-ford last evening. A little son of the stationmaster, Mr. Brown, was playing about the station, and appears to have laid his head down on the line to listen for an approaching train. Shunting operations were going on at the time, and a truck, which was being pushed by one of the officers, went over the child's head, killing him instantly. The child's age was a year and nine months.
