1UPPED ON PEEL OF BANANA. May Result In Crippling for Life of Man Who Stepped on It. The Greenville Piedmont says testimony to the effect that the city ordinance against the throwing of banana peels on the sidewalk of the city's streets is not euforced as it should be, and that failure to nforce the law puts ped est rains is a precarious situation is borne by a said incident that occurred recently, barely falling to cause death to a Greenville resident. Mr. Robert Nash, & man who has lived here for about eleven months, feaving come here from Virginia, was walking down Main street near the postoffice building a week ago. Near the corner of Main and Broad streets he slipped on a banana peel and fell to the sidewalk, the base of uis spine sinKing tne pavement. The foot that stepped upon the peeling went high into the air and he suffered a hard fall. Persons on the street came to the aid of Mr. Nash and he was taken to the Salvation Army citadel where he was given medical attention and Drs. Black and Brown have been attending him since. It was found that the base of Nash's pine was fractured and that the nerves were badly deranged. Nash has suffered terrible pains and it Is likely that he will never walk again. The attending physician said that the injuries may heal, but the chances are that he will never again have the use of his limbs. His legs have been numb and feelingiess since the fall. It is thought that the break in the pine will heal but that his nervous system will never be whole again and that this will prevent further use of the legs. Nash is a young man and rather tall and it is believed that his height made the fall more serious. It is thought that if it had been an old man to suffer the fall death would have resulted. However, Mash, being a young man, the wounds will not prove fatal. CORPSK CAIHK8 CON FUSS ION. Fisherman Worried as the Body of His Victim Pursues Hint on Lake. Eecanaba, Mich. Nov. 18 ?
