"Man Falls, Lands on Girl
Typist as a Human Cushion Saves Window Cleaner's Life on Trenton Street
Trenton, NJ -- Acting as a human cushion, Miss Helen Kugler, a pretty young State-house stenographer, probably saved the life of Augustus Miller, a window cleaner, when the latter, while at work on a second story window of an office building fell and landed on the young woman as she was passing. Miss Kugler, with the breath almost knocked out of her, fell into the street and Miller landed on his feet.
The girl, except for being badly shaken, was unharmed and was able to go to the State house and finish her work. Miller's left foot was sprained and he went to a hospital for treatment."
