FELL FROM ROOF:
WAS NOT HURT
YOUNG MAN ESCAPED FROM BAD
FALL WITH ONE OR TWO
SLIGHT INJURIES.

G. H. Strayer a well-known young
carpenter, met with an accident yes
terday, which, ordinarily, was enough
to cause his death or very serious in
jur.es, but he escaped with only Slight
injuries.
Strayer was ct work on the roof Of
the two-story residence of Mrs j. NJ
Wilson on e street He was IN a
scaffold and was handling shingles
In some way the scaffold slipped apd
the young man fell all the way from
the roof Of the house TO the ground.
Those who Witnessed the accident
were sure that he had been killed or
badly injured.
One or two Of the other workmen
rushed to Strayer's assistance. He
was removed to his home and upon
examination il was found that he had
not been seriously injured. Not a bone
was broken and besides one or two
painful scratches he was all right It
seems a miracle that the man was not
more seriously injured
