THE GOVERNOR OF NEBRASKA on GRASS

His Excellency, Robert Furnas Governor OF Ne

AccIDESr.-Frank Nighman son of T. c. Nigh
man, was one of the participants in the foot races
at the Fair Grounds last Saturday, and while run
ming at rapid pace he stopped suddenly, with
painful consciousness Of having received an injury
He Immediately limped to a coach and was taken
home, where DR.. T. II. Phillips was summoned
to attend him. Upon examination, It was found
that one Of his hip bones had been broken and his
thigh bone split quite length downward from the
hip. The accident was very strange one, as
there was no fall or collision connected with it,
and his physicians state that they have never met
with a similar case. The young man lies at his
home on North Market stree. in e painful condi-
ton, but he will probably recover.
