Boy Finds Tarzan
Hard To Imitate;
Wakes In Hospital
Playing Tarzan on the Roanoke
River did not work out so well for
Henry Lyles.
Henry and a companion were
down by the river last Saturday
afternoon, having just finished a
chicken dinner that they had pre
pared, it is reported. After the
meal Henry wagered his companion
that he could climb one tree and
jump to another, Tarzan style.
After the stakes were placed, Hen
ry climbed the tree and jumped.
So far so good, but from there
on, not so good. In making the
Tarzan leap, Henry failed to cpn
tact the adjoining tree and fell a
bout 14 feet to the ground, render
ing himself unconscious for about
30 minutes.
An ambulance from the Williams
Funeral Home was called to the
scene and the injured boy was
rushed to the hospital. The at
tending physician found the boy
suffered no broken bones, but was
kept in the hospital for a few days
to determine whether he suffered
any internal injuries.
His condition is reported favor
able.
