Last evening, while tne crowd
from the first show at the Filmland
open air tneatre was moving oui on
to Fifth street, a sudden crash was
heard in the direction of the stair
way that leads to the apar:ments of
F. R. Gobelman in the Wescott build
ing and the form of a boy was seen
to suddenly hurl out into space ana
land with a heavy thud on the ce
ment: sidewalk below.
The boy made a loud scream and
cries and it was thought that he had
probably sustained a broken limb or
other severe injuries, and Ralph Al
len, who was passing at the time,
pi.ked up the boy. who gave the
name of Sid Davis, and carried him
to the corner of Fifth and Main
streets, where he subsided in his
cries and after some urging was able
to stand alone and walked to a car.
which conveyed him to the office of
a physician, where he received an ex
amination, but no broken bones were
discovered.
The boy with a number of com
panions, had been sitting on the root
of the Wescott building and was sit
ting on the railing at the top of the
small flight of stairs that leads from
the alley to the roof, when the rail
ing gave way and caused him to fall
to the ground, a distance of some
twelve or fifteen feet.
The young lad is fortunate that
the accident was not more severe.
Companions of the boy last evening
stated that a few nights ago he fell
from the roof of the shed belonging
to J. H. McMaken, just west of the
Filmland, where he was located tak
ing in the movies.
The tops of buildings and other
nearby points of vantage are in de
mand nightly by a group of boys,
despite efforts of the police to keep
them from climbing to such danger
ous places, and this accident, al
though it did not prove serious,
should be a lesson to parents not to
let their boys run free and get into
such places of danger. Last year a
number of boys sustained minor in
juries in falling or being pushed from
the roof of buildings near the Air
dome and unless the practice of
congregating there is stopped, this
will be only the first of several such
accidents this year.
