PALI- FROM TRAIN WINDOW. 50 FOOT' DROP INTO RAVINE. (United Presß Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) MADRID, September 24. As a train was crossing -a high ravine, a passenger, Miguel Jalon, held his little daughter to a window to behold the scenery. The wind blew the child from his grasp. The distracted father found that the communication cord would not operate, so he -climbed along the roofs of the carriages to warn the engine crew. The train -was then pulled up just a few yards short of a- tunnel, whielre Jalon would have been crushed to death. Rescuers then found the child. She had bounded fifty feet down the ravine, but had been caught in a clump of bushes. She was not injured. •
