Bryan loses Hit Race with Death.

Chicago, Feb. I.—William Jennings Bryan is the third person within a week to engage in a race with death and lose. He received word here that he was too late. Bryan's sister, Miss Nannie Bryan, of Lincoln. Neb., died in that city Saturday afternoon. Bryan had reached Chicago on his way from New Jershy to Lincoln, Neb. He had hoped to arrive at his sister's bedside before she died.
