SERIOUSLY HURT IHI ROHM Miss Erma Rohrer, daughter of Mel Rohrer of near New Paris, and formerly a merchant of Syracuse, was very painfully injured at the B. & O. depot Monday afternoon. While driving near the tracks as No. 17 came, the horse became frantic, and threw the buggy over and against a telegraph pole, The top of the buggy was torn off, the shafts snapped off, and the young lady was thrown violently to the ground. While her injuries may not result seriously, Miss Rohrer suffered much, Her left limb was badly wrenched, her left arm sprained, and her head and face badly cut. She was burned to Dr. Bowser’s office, where her wounds were care fully dressed, and everything done to make it possible for her to be taken home. It was after six o'clock before Mr. Rohrer and son could get rigs ready to start home. Miss Erma suffered considerable internal pain, and will doubtless be sick for some time. She is a school teacher, and had made preparations to begin a new term soon, but this accident will cause her to forego her work for several weeks. Her Syracuse friends sympathize with her deeply and wish for her a rapid and sound recovery. The horse, after breaking away from the buggy, ran up Huntington street and was stopped at the bitching racks near Russell’s store. Nearly two miles ot motion pictures at Theatorium Aug. 22-26; 15c. The Ligonier Races. The race matinee at Ligonier Saturday afternoon was pulled off in fine shape, and was the best seen in these parts for many a day. The free-for-all half mile pace was won by Fanny Stubbins, in the hands of Mask of Goshen, the time being 1:07. Stanley R. made it a most interesting run for the winner frdm the start. The free-for-all trot was won by King Onlyone, owned by Charles Method of Goshen, his time being and taking three straight heats. In the 2;25 pace the prize went to Jim Brown owned by Lesh of Goshen, time 1:09. The running race was awarded to a Wawaka horse, Bonny L., owned by George Rose. The half was made in fifty-six seconds. The races were very satisfactory to all spectators, and will no doubt be the means of drawing a much bigger crowd the next time. It is probable that another matinee will be held between the Kendallville and Goshen fairs, the second week in September, and if arrangements can'be made, the Syracuse Band will furnish music for the occasion.
