 Druggist Robert Walker saved a mans life yesterday. About Il o'clock yesterday morning a man who lives on Orange street, but works in Plume & Atwood's. walked or fell into Walkef drug store. Beads of precipitation hung on his forehead and he was gasp ing for breath. He was holding his hand over his heart and was so weak that he immediately fell to the floor, at the same time asking for doctor; but no doctor could be secured just then. Druggist Walker was in q pre- dicament. The man was evidently suffering from heart trouble and his condition was critical. If the drug gist administered some drugs and the maasdied he might b: blamed for his death, or if the man died from want of teratment he would be much censured. He consequently decided to make ths best of the situation and injected strychnine and morphine into the mans body. This afforded tho man much relief When Dr Donahue arr rived a half hour later he said that the mans life had been saved by the treat men given to him by Druggist Walker.
