RIOT AT A "GHOST DANCE."

University of Nebraska Men Get Broken Heads and Bloody Noses.

LINCOLN, Neb., May 21.—The annual parade and ghost dance of students of the University of Nebraska ended late tonight in a small riot on the grounds where the Order of Eagles is holding a street carnival. There was a brief, but bloody fight, between the student body and thirty or forty special officers and carnival showmen. The students finally withdrew, taking with them a dozen or more of their number with bloody noses and broken heads.

The collision was caused, it is alleged, by the students attempting to force their way into the show tents without paying admission.
