UNDER LUMBER
Philip BrOmberg, Carpenter,
May Die as Result of
Injuries.

Philip Bromberg, 2S years old, car
penter, living at 319 Littleton avenue,
received what may prove fatal inju-
ries when he fell from the second story
of building at 6S North Eleventh
street, on which he was working, today.
Bromberg was on the second floor of
the building, which is only partially
completed directly underneath a pile
of planl1ing for use on the third floor.
The pile slipped in some unknown man
ner and came crashing down, catching
Bromberg in its descent and sweeping
him off the beam on which he was
standing.
The man was dashed to the ground
with terrific force, falling a distance
of about twenty-five feet. He struck
on grass plot, but the heavy boards
fell on top of him. When picked up
he was unconscious and on being re-
moved to the City Hospital and exam
ined 1t was found that he had sus-
tanned bad internal injuries.
