CHILD FALLS FROM WINDOW

Two-Year-Old Tot Escapes Unhurt in Drop From Second Story.

Naomi, the 2-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Clinghan, residing along 
the Carlisle pike, near town, met with an accident on Monday which might have 
proven serious.

Mr. Clinghan is a fireman on the W. M. R. R., and in answering the call box this 
morning opened the window on the second floor of his house.  In leaving the room 
the window was left open and the young child later in the morning went to the 
window and in peering about was overbalanced and fell to a boardwalk below.

Dr. C. E. Bortner was immediately summoned, who, after examination of the child, 
found that no bones were broken and further than receiving a slight injury to 
the spinal column, the child was none the worse for the fall.
