Kids watch train kill mom
United Press International
EAGLETON, Ark. — An Alaba
ma woman who had taken her three
small children to watch a passing
train from the edge of the railroad
track fell into the train’s path and was
crushed as the children watched,
police said.
The woman was identified as Mer-
rell Richmond, 45, of Toxey, Ala.
The children — 4-, 5- and 10-years-
old — told the police they walked
with their mother from a house
where they were visiting to nearby
railroad tracks, state trooper David
Hathcoat said.
As the train approached, Rich
mond feared the 5-year-old who was
standing across the tracks from the
other children and her would try to
cross in front of the train. She moved
to grab the child but tripped on the
tracks and apparently knocked her
self unconscious just as the train pas
sed, Hathcoat said.

United Press International
VENTURA, Calif. — A $500,000
project to save the California condor
from extinction is at a standstill five
months after the death of a chick
being examined in its nest.
The Condor Research Center now
hopes the study will be resumed next
spring.
“The death of the chick was a
psychological setback for the whole
program, no doubt about it,” says
John Borneman, director of the Ven
tura center, which is part of the Au
dubon Society. “But the threat of the
death of the species looms far more
important.”
There are only an estimated 30
California condors still in existence,
all in the high back mountains of Los
Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara
Counties.
Two biologists, Dr. John Ogden
and Dr. Noel Snyder, had been
given an OK from the California Fish
and Game Commission for a prog
ram of attaching radio telemetry de
vices to several of the birds to trace
their flight patterns and for a captive
breeding program.
The scientists, plus an expert
mountain guide, were examining a
chick in its nest in the San Rafael
Wilderness June 30 when the stress
proved too much and the bird died of
shock and acute heart failure.
The accident provoked a furor,
particularly from environmentalists
who argue the condor should be left
alone to survive. The Fish and Game
Commission withdrew the permit
which had not been formally and fin
ally approved.
Borneman said in an interview
that recent developments have pro
vided evidence that the marking and
captive breeding programs can be
successful.
Snyder and Ogden went to Peru
last month to observe a similar pro
ject being conducted by the Patu
xent Wildlife Research Center at
“After the death of the diidj
was a very emotional ]
Borneman says. “But now t
almost a backlash against it, f
are beginning to realize that
you have human beings in chai
project you are going to 1
takes and setbacks.
