Wm. Heatherly Falls Few Feet; Injuries Fatal
Falling about eight feet about 4 o'clock yesterday from a step-ladder upon which he was working at the plant of the Clinton Bridge Co., William Heatherly, aged 38 years, residing at 506 North Eighth street, Lyons, suffered injuries which resulted in his death at 11 o'clock last night at Jane Lamb hospital.
Mr. Heatherly had been employed at the plant since last January.
