KILLED IN THE NASHUA RACES.
Jockey Thrown from the Horse He was Riding, and Dies an Hour Later.
Nashua, Sept 1.—Lute Larue of Waverly was injured yesterday at the fair grounds and died one hour later. Larue had just started out in the second heat of the running race when he was thrown from his horse to the ground and fatally injured. His injuries were about the head and it is believed that concussion of the brain followed. He was unconscious soon after falling; and remained in this condition until death came, about ten minutes after being brought to Dr. Stuart's office. He was injured about 4:30 and died at about 5:30.
