LINCOLN AND FISCrS
LOSES EYEsIGHT.


Hugh Murray formerly of Douglas
township but now of central Nebraska
writes that his daughter recently met
with severe accident which undoubt-
eddy will cost her the sight of one eye
The girl was holding piece of iron
while Mr.. Murray was drilling hole
through it and piece of steel flew into
her eye cutting into the interior chamber
She was placed in buggy and immed-
lately driven to physician; but this
took considerable time as the nearest
station is 90 miles and long before town
was reached the vitreous humor had all
run from the eye. The local physicians
could do little to relieve her, and she
was sent next day to hospital in a
larger city where specialists will under
take to save the eye, which they may
do by filling the inner cavity with an
limitation fluid, as the Crystalline lens,
Retina and Optic nerve are probably
uninjured and these latter are the main
essentials to the eyesight. Hugh him
self cut his hand very badly some time
ago and in order TO save it will have 10
have one finger amputated. which is
very unfortunate for cripple, for dur
ing the winter of 1889 he had the
smallpox in the worst form and the poi
son settled in limb, which made it
necessary TO sever it from the body above
the knee and from that day he has been
using an artificial limb.
