A CLOSE CALL FOR

lieve Clark WAS dead. One soldier
named H6zen persisted that Clark
had been buried alive, and demanded
that his body be taken from the
grave The doctor was recalled and
asked what he thought about the
case. Hazen insisted that Clark WAS
subjsct to sinking spells, and with
typhoid fever it would be worse
After consultation it was decided to
open the grave.
When the coffin was opened it
was seen that Clark's hands were
not ia their former position and
there was moisture upon the glass
above his mouth. Stimulants and
careful nursing turned the tide for
Clark and death was robbed of it's
victim.
When Clark was finally restored
to consciousness he said that he had
been half conscious of all that had
happened and knew that he had
been buried alive.
