"Tragedy Strikes in Front of Café," is the headline in the June 24, 1936 edition of The Weems Weekly. The story reports that Idgie and Ruth's little boy lost his arm while playing on the tracks. He was running next to the train when he fell. He is in the hospital in Birmingham, but will be home next week. Dot reports that so far this year a foot, an arm and an index finger were lost. In addition, a colored man was killed. Dot warns all to be careful because she is tired of writing about the injuries.
