A Severe and Painful Accident.

Frank Nichols commonly known as “Tim” Nichols, who lives north of the railroad met with a severe and very painful accident, Friday afternoon. He was working in the Babcock elevator, near the depot and while in an npper part of the building, got a bad fall. He first fell about 12 feet striking astride of a large rod, and from there 6 or 8 feet farther to the floor. Dr. English was called and reports that unless the internal injuries proves more serious than now seem probable, the aocident will’ not prove dangerous, but will lay Mr. Nichols up for several weeks.
