My grandfathers older sister and friends walking around the tracks. What makes this even scarier is - that she was deaf! Which I guess must have made it even more fun to them at the time....lol. The amount of horrible train accidents that were in the paper daily - some so bad - that I won't even repost them here - you would think people would know better. And even though I can't make out the other people clearly - she along with her sister and two brothers (one of them my grandfather) were all deaf. Which means I bet they are all pissing around on them tracks just trying to get hit....lol.

March 15, 1907 - Court Hearing - Hotel Hanky Panky (Fountain Hotel) - Roxbury - Just Plain Scandalous from Orgies to Drunks - Printed in the Paper
Court case against Michael Karl owner of the Fountain Hotel at 1210 Franklin Street. Charges from serving minors to hosting orgies in the rooms.VERY INTERESTING READ - Court Hearing - Hotel Hanky Panky (Fountain Hotel) - Roxbury - Just Plain Scandalous from Orgies to Drunks - Printed in the Paper! I am surprised just how much detail they put in the paper - even if they buried it on page 5. The hotel was located at 1210 Franklin Street - long gone - a regular house is located there now.
