FALLS FROM WINDOW.
Child in Fort Payne Drops From the
Second Story.

Fort Payne. May 6.-(Special This
morning at about 10 o'clock Shepherd the
little 4-year-old son of Fl. S. Killcin fell
from "a second-story window to the
ground He was picked up unconscious,
but regained consciousness soon after
wards. There were no bones broken but
he is quite sick from the effect of the
fall. The doctor says he cant yet tell
just how seriously he is hurt.
1t is wonderful how the child escaped
from instant death, as there was as
phalt walk running underneath the win
dow where he fell. which he narrowly
missed. He was playing in the room where
his sister was busy at work, and the win
dow was raised and the first she saw of
the child near the window was his heels
as he fell.
The citizens of the town met at the
court house last Saturday nfgut and put
out a democratic ticket for the city cleo
ton, which takes place the first Monday
in July. The following were named on
the ticket; For mayor, DR.. w. b. Quinn.
the present mayor; for aldermen, Earl
Cochran, John Mccartney, w. e. Ed
mundson Sid Houston and Joe Faulkner
There is no opposition to the ticket so
far, and it is not generally believed there
will be any. DIR. Quinn has been mayor
several times, and is at present holding
the office.
The Ladies Benefit society of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, south, gave an
ice cream and strawberry supper at the
court house Friday night for the benefit

ent and a neat sum was realized.
