ness however. he has withstood the ar
duous weeks campaigning exceedingly
well.
Senator Hanna narrowly escaped serious
injury to-day at Auburn, where stand
had been erected on the race track OF the
fair grounds. The overcrowding' OF the
frail structure and the crush OF people
around 1t caused the stand TO collapse with
q crash that almost created a panic in the
crowd. Although thrown on his back by
the fall of six feet, Senator Hanna was
entirely unhurt. A boy clinging to the
structure had his leg broken by being
caught under the timbers.
Resides the four speeches at Omaha to-
night Senator Hanna made addresses az
nine towns in the territory covered during
the tay, which included the extreme south
eastern portion Of the State Many OF
the stops were rather lengthy, and in one
or two instances Senators Hanna and Frye
had taste of the difficulties occasionally
encountered in rural campaigning. The
day was an intensely disagreeable one, a
strong wind filling the air with binding
clouds Of dust, and through this storm they
were driven for over a mile TO the speak
ers stand.
