W.R. Murr, student in the No. 2 school, was painfully hurt Monday when he fell from a fire escape and struck his head on a corner of the cement base holding the iron ladder.
During the recess period, it was reported, the youngster climbed on the fire escape and in some manner fell about 10 feet. An ugly wound was inflicted where his head struck the cement at the base of the fire escape.
The child was knocked unconscious in the fall but later regained consciousness and was taken to his home on Pearl Street. It is reported that he fainted again after reaching his home but showed improvement during the night.
