WINDOW CLEANER IS KILLED.

S. O. Twombley Falls Four Stories at Downtown Store.

S. O. Twombley, a window cleaner, 32 years old, 1015 East Fourteenth street, was instantly killed when he fell from a fourth floor window of Kline's cloak and suit store, 1113 Main street, about 10 o'clock yesterday morning. He plunged downward, and through a steel and glass arcade over the entrance, to the sidewalk. Passers-by narrowly escaped being hit by his body. He was dead when picked up.

Twombley was cleaning the store windows and lost his balance as he stepped from one to the other. He is survived by his wife and a son, Kenneth H. Twombley.
