    3. Louisville (KY) Courier-Journal, August 10, 1898, p. 8. STOPS IN LOUISVILLE ON HIS RETURN FROM SANTIAGO AND FALLS FROM A WINDOW Charles Bruner, an Indiana soldier, says a man does not have to go to war to get hurt. Bruner enlisted in the regular army and was in the thick of the battle at Santiago. He was wounded and received a furlough of 60 days. He stopped in Louisville on his return to his home in Orleans, Ind. He missed his train and was compelled to stay in the city over night. He secured lodging at a boarding house at Fourth Avenue and the river. Early yesterday morning he was taken ill and, in trying to close one of the windows in his room, he lost his balance and fell from the third story to the sidewalk. He was found in an unconscious condition by Patrolmen Baker and Reese and was sent to the City Hospital. In falling, Bruner struck a fire escape and was badly bruised about the body. He regained consciousness yesterday afternoon and was released from the hospital. He left last night for his home.
