Died From the Noscblccd.

Carroll. May 2.-I4ous Rinehart, %
years of age. died here from the effects
of a violent bleeding of the nose. IT.
seems that four days ago young Rine-#
hart. who worked on a farm near here
with his brother, felt a soreness on ono
side of his nose. In the night he felt
blood oozing from the sore spot and
soon steady stream was flowing. In
the morning they drove to town and
called on a physician. who stuffed the
nose With cotton and bandags ed the out
side. whereupon the blood began to.
stream from the patients eyes. The
physician was puzzled and decided to
call in consultation several other ply
sicians After exhausting their re-
sources they gave up the case as hope
less, complications having set in.
