Pinecliff, Colo., April 30 (AP)--Funeral services were being arranged today for two-year-old Betty Marie Kurtz[sic], who wandered away from her uncle's home near this mountain village yesterday and was killed by a train. Her father, William Kurtz[sic], headed a search from the home, four miles from here, and finally learned the child's body was at the railroad station. Searchers assembled by Sheriff Oscar Williams at Central City had started covering the Coal Creek country. Kurtz got the first hint of the tragedy when he inquired of his daughter's whereabouts when he met Mrs. C. F. Carmichael, wife of the postmaster here. She told him to go to the railroad station. The weather was so foggy as the train pulled into Pinecliff from the west, it was impossible to see the girl before the locomotive struck her. Engineer H. E. Osman of Denver told Sheriff Williams.
