Shoestring Snaps Child Falls Fifteen
Feet to Sidewalk

The thought of a two-year-old child
tumbling from second story window
and landing on a cement sidewalk
makes person feel creepy as such
fall suggests broken bones if not death.
But this tumble is just what happened
to Bernard GLADDEN., the two-year- old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest GLADDEN. of
Swanton early Saturday evening, from
a window in their rooms over the store
of Prouty & Hulburt and, aside from a
little surprise and mild shake-pp, the
young man did not seem to mind it
much.
1t seems the child crdwled upon the
window seat, which is quite deep, and
the window blinds fastened with a shoe
string, opened by the breaking of the
string and let him out in hurry. He
is believed to have landed on his feet as
about the only complaint he has made
was sore feet, and Mrs. John Wibberly,
who was the first to reach the child,
found him standing up, kinder surprise
like. DR.. Pierce was Immediately
called but couldn't discover any broken
bones or anything serious the matter.
DIR. Allen looked him over Sunday
morning as the child still experienced
trouble in standing, but all this wore
away and before night Bernard GLADDEN.
