Little Girl Killed in Fall from Tree

Raleigh, Sept. 13—Ruth Horton, 8-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William M. Horton, of this city, was instantly killed this afternoon. She fell from a tree onto an iron spiked fence, one of the spikes of the fence piercing her heart. The little girl and several companions were climbing a grape vine running up the tree when she lost her footing and fell onto the fence.
