Nevada Daily Mail of 9 May 1893: "IT WAS VERY SERIOUS

SPORT A Wife's Playful Act Comes Near Causing a Husbands

Death. A wife's playful toss of a pair of scissors Monday afternoon

came near causing her husband's death. Mr. and Mrs. A.M.

Brockman were at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Akers' late

Monday afternoon. They were in a playful mood and while Mr.

Brockman was teasing his wife, she carelessly tossed a pair of

scissors at him. The struck him on (the) inner side of the left knee

and the point penetrated the flesh so far that it bore the weight of

the shears and he had to pull them from their lodging place. This

broke up the sport and but little was thought of the matter. Mr.

Brockman soon went to his stable, near the depot, and later took

his wife driving. He then came up town to attend business which

demanded his attentiion, and while up in the city about 9 o'clock in

the evening the wound became very painful and he was taken with

a chill. He was driven to his home in the northeast part of town and

Dr. Kelso was hastily summoned. When Dr. Kelso arrived at Mr.

Brockman's bedside he found his patient delirious from pain and on

the border of going into lockjaw. The wound, though only a small

cut on the inner side of the left knee, and caused considerable

swelling. Remedies were at once administered and before the

Doctor left Mr. Brockman was fully restored to consciousness,

though his condition was quite serious and it is not known yet what

the outcome may be, though he was reported better today."

5. Was he training horses in 1920? The census shows that he was
