Narrow Escape Of Geo W, Mile
Fell twenty feet while climbing a ladder
No bones broken
Although he was badly bruised up - remarkable escape of well known M son
George W. Miley, of 1124 E. University avenue, the well known mason, met with a fall Friday afternoon which might have resulted seriously. He was climbing a ladder with a long heavy plank on his shoulder, when he was at work on a new house on S. Fifth avenue. When up about 20 feet from the ground the end of the plank struck against the side of the building throwing him back off the ladder and down to the ground. He tried to save himself by catching at the rung of the ladder, but missed. Fortunately he suffered no fractures of bones. The skin was pretty thoroughly removed from the side of one arm and he is pretty sore all over today, although yesterday afternoon after his severe jostle he was upon the street appearing little the worse for his fall.
