Nathan Swift, Of Chicago, Dies Of Acei.
dent Thought to Be Trifling.
Chicago, Sept. 21.-Nathan Swift.
son of Louis F. Swift, the packer. died
from the effects of blow on the
temple with polo ball at Onwetsia
field during game. The accident was
at first thought to be trifling. Mr..
Swift was playing in contest In which
his companions were Frederick Nc
Laughlin, w. w. Rathbone, Walter
Farwell, Sidney Love. Walter Keith,
r. R. Mccormick and Charles Garfield
King.
The ball which struck Mr.. Swift was
one that went high in the air and from
the mallet of Mr. Love. Mr.. Swift did
not appreciate his danger until too
late, the glare Of the sun preventing
him from following the ball in its
fight. When the ball hit him he did
not fall from the saddle and when his
companions galloped to his side he was
at first inclined to make light Of the
injury. He was induced to dismount,
but walked without aid from the field.
Arriving at home he complained of
dizziness and later on he went into a
delirium, which was followed by his
death.
