Bristol, March 28.--A man who fell 500 feet and is still alive, is now ly- ing in the Bristol Infirmary with a fractured leg and other injuries, from which there is hope he may recover. His escape from a terrible death was almost a miracle. Just about noon, yesterday, a young married cou- 'ple who were walking under the sus pension bridge at Clifton saw 'a man fall from the top of the observatory hill, which towers 500 feet above Hot- wells Station, on the Port and Yier | railway. Twice the man's body struck the rocks as it fell. The time it bounded out several yards from the great rock wall, and it looked as though it would fall on the top of a number of railway carriages which were standing on the line, A strong wind was blowing, ever, and this caught the falling man and carried him in toward the rock. The result was that, instead of fall- ing on the hard surface of the rail way carriage, he fell into the - soft mould of the stationmaster's garden A short while before the station master had prepared a small piece of ground covered with glass for the planting of some: seeds. . He had re- turned to his office for the seeds, and was just about to go again to the garden when he was informed of the accident, He at once ran to the spot, and found that the man had fallen through the glass on the soft mould. The man was at once picked up and taken to the infirmary, where he was identified as John Price, aged thirty- four, a native of Bestol, who yester- day, returned from Pontypridd, where he had been working. It ds not known how he came to fall.
