From the Akron Weekly Pioneer, page 1, Friday March 12, 1915
Special Train to Save Boy's Life.
Grand Junction. - The Unitah Railway Company ran a special train to take a small boy from Atchee, Colo., to a hospital in Fruita, after he had fallen and bittin his tongue nearly off. The boy was the son of Roy Muto of Atchee. The train made record speed down a twenty-eight mile grade and delivered the boy at Mack, from where he was taken to Fruita, ten miles in an auto in fifteen minutes. The boy will live, although he suffered greatly from loss of blood.
