MAKES FLYING TRIP TO SODA
Dr. King made a flying trip to Soda Springs last evening in response to a telegram stating that a little daughter of John Austin, a prominent sheep man of that place, had a severe attack of ptomaine poison.
Mr. Austin ordered a special train to convey the doctor to Soda. The train, consisting of an engine and one coach in charge of Conductor Wood and Engineer Rasmussen at the throttle, made the 31 mile run in exactly 30 minutes.
The special returned several hours after the doctor had administered all the relief possible to the child. A telephone message to the doctor this morning stated that the little girl was resting very comfortably and would probably recover.
The special train cost Mr. Austin $130.
