A mother's boy, killed by the cruel wheels of a moving railroad car, is likely any time to be the terrible accident that Corvallis people will hear of. The other Sunday a dozen little fellows chased cars at the Southern Pacific sta tion while the noon tram was switching, jumping on and' off the platforms while the cars were in motion. One little chap, more dar ing than the rest planted his feet on the understructure of the car and swung with his-hands to an iron bar, presenting himself in a perilous position, where a false or faulty motion would have thrown him under the terrible' wheels.
