Mrs. William Ferguson, of z7s

|terday afternoon by falling from the
porch on the second story OF her
home, while endeavoring to ascer-
tain who was rapping at the door
below. Mrs. Ferguson was leaning
over the raj, of tAe porch leading
from the second story talking to
some neighbors and heard knocking
at the door below. Leaning out too
far she lost her balance and plung-
ed to the ground about twenty-five
feet below.
The woman landed on her head
and sustained cuts and bruises, the
of which DIR. Nj. s. Mein-
ger, is not able to state as yet. It
cannot be definitely determined now
whether the woman is suffering
from internal injuries. AS soon as
the neighbors saw Mrs. Ferguson
fall they rushed to her aid and car
ried her into the house. A hurry
call was sent for DR.. Nd. s. Meinzer
who responded quickly.
The attending physician declares
that Mrs. Ferguson's escape from
death after falling such distance
and landing on her head is mirac-
ulous.
