Remarkable Escape From Injury Of
Harry Hopkins, Five Years Old.

Charleston, Sept. S.-A remark
able escape from death was reported
this morning when little Harry Hop
kins, 5 years old, fell from a second
story window in Church street for a
drop of 80 feet, and was practically
uninjured, beyond few bruises and
a cut over one eye. He was leaning
out of the window and lost his bal
ance, falling headforemost, but turn
ing in the air. His soft body struck
slanting cellar door immediately
under the window, and he slid down
the smooth wood to the ground with
the force of his fall practically moth
ing. The impact of his body with
the earth at the foot of the door and
the turning over bruised and scrat-
ched him, while the blow of the
door itself shook him up badly. No
bones were broken. A doctor hap
pened to be passing at the time in an
automobile and gave almost imme-
diate assistance to the frightened
child.
