Howard Herring Dies Sud denly in the Dental Office of Dr,
 WarnekrOS.

Fremont street. It was scarcely be-. Iieved at first, but proved too true. The circumstances as briefly stated | by Dr. Warnekros this morning Co A representative of the PRosPEcToR are ! substantially as follows: The de- ceased came to his office about l0:30 a. m. or perhaps little later, to have several teeth extracted. He requested that cocaine be administered to deaden the pain. He sat down in the chair and talked a few moments about i Mexico with Dr. Warnekros before | submitting to tine ordeal. lie re- marked as he reclined in the chair that it made his heart futter, which was not considered anything unusual by the Doctor, as nearly all patients are similarly affected when about to undergo the extraction Of a tooth. He l injected cocaine solution with a syr-
 nge into the gum at the seat of each tooth before extracting it, as he had | done in a thousand cases before. Al ter extracting three or four roots he turned to get another instrument and
 while his back was turned, the patient l fell out of the chair on the floor in A spasm. The Doctor immediately attempted to revive hin with cold iwster applications on the face, and seeing that his efToIts were apparently
 futile, stepped across the var into the sleeping apartment Of Mir. Monier, in the rear Cf the telegraph office, and asked him to run for Dr. Hamilton. In about two minutes. as it seemed to Dr. Wsrnekros, Dr. Hamilton was there and did everything possible to revive the unfortunate young man, but without avail.
 Dr. Warnekros feels keenly the po- sition in which he is placed and says that he would willingly lay down his own life if he could bring back that of his friend.
 Mir. Monier, who was called by Dr Warnekros, states that he heard an unusual noise before being called He
 an 2. once for Dr. Hamilton and found him at church. As soon as the doctor arrived he administered anti dotes and advised that Col Herring be notified. MT. MDnier went to Col. Hsrring's office and subsequently, tn the house. When the family arrived there, their boy was dead, The scene was heartrending.
 Dr. Sullivan and Dr. Hamilton did everything known to medical science to bring back spark of lite to the inanim ste body. Willing hands as. sisted where they could and when th- wors: was known a gloom fell over tn c community in which bu: short time before the deceased had been one of it's most useful and respected mem Uers.
 The discussion of the causes of his death- is not proper at the present time.
