Cause of Chief Richmond Fracturing Two Bones in Right Leg, A young man who had forgotten his door key and was enteeing his honse through the window, about 3.50 New Year's morning, vas indirectly respon. sible for a most unfortunate accident to Chief of Police E. H. Richmond. The chief, who iives but a few doors away was awakened by a call from a neigh- Dbor of the young man, who thousht burglars were trying to get into the house. In hu ug to respond, he slipped and fell in the driveway of his vard, fracturing two bones in his right leg hetween the knee and ankle Dr. L. L. Mason was summoned and reduced “the fracture. The accident will probably confine Chtef Richmond to his house for six weeks or more, and is the cause of deep regret io his many friends.
