LA CROSSE Democrat IS: Yesterday
morning about IL o'clock, Mr.. Charles
Perrin, residing on the corner of Seventh
and King streets, went upon the roof of
his building for the purpose of stopping
leak. The recent rains had made the
shingles slippery, and when pear the
ridge he fell, and, in endeavoring to save
himself, put mis- right shoulder out of
joint. In this condition he slid down to
the eave-trough where he succeeded in
stopping himself from going over.
Without assistance he regsined the lad
der and descended to the ground, and
sent for DE-. Miller who put his arm in
place. Mr.. Perrin is upwards of IS
years of age, and it is great wonder
that he was able to save himself from
falling to the ground, or how he de-
scended by the ladder with one arm in q
useless condition.

yelling for aid, by his cries brought Sam

that the latter had first to indulge in a
laugh before he could gather himself
sufficiently to go to work at raising the
ladder. The latter was a heavy, rudely
constructed concern, and just as Sam had
it half way up Fred became tired and
loosened his hold. AS he came whirling
down he struck upon the ladder, and
away went the whole outfit, Sam, Fred,
ladder and all. When Sam had got over
his laughing fit he discovered Fred rue
fully rubbing his shins and blessing
his luck" Outside of few bruises and
