LovISGsroN, Va, February 2.-The most
recent excitement the residents OF Loving
ston have been shaken by was the narrow
escape made q night or two ago by Mr.. Z.
l.. Jennings from q sudden and horrible
death. Mr. Jennings had been suffering
from an acute attack of the toothache. to
escape from the agonles OF which he re-
sorted to morphia. Az about 7 o'clock IN
the evening he was found IN cOmaiose
state by his brother. MIR. j. L. Jennings,
whose attempts to arouse the sleeper were
Intellectual. He at once called III DIR. Mas
sic Iunstall, who lives near by and VINO
was fortunately at home. The poisoned
man was put through the ordinary treat
ment in such cases, but 1t appeared at first
that all efforts to save his life would be IN
vain. In fact. he was given up for dead
at one time. but DR.. Tunstall. observing
symptoms of lite. renewed his efforts to
resuscitate him.
HIS LIFE SAVED.
It was not until o'clock the next morn
ing that their efforts were finally crowned
with success. Mr.. Jennings is now consld-
cred out Of danger. though his nervous
system has received a shock from which II
will not soon recover. The poisoning was
probably occasioned by several doses or
the drug taking effect on an organization
weakened by suffering and twenty-tour
hours, abstinence from food.

Mr.. Thomas Fortune, Of Montreal and
we'll known throughout the county, was
arrested on Sunday on the accusation OF
