observation-disclosures Attribu-
ted n to Heat.

Irving Feldschneider, $40 Clyman
street, had rather peculiar exper-
ience last evening and one that caused
his relatives and friends much appre-
hension for time. Shortly before
the supper hour the young man went
to the bath room for the purpo Sc of
refreshing himself after the heat of
the day. The supper hour arrived
and the young man was called by
members of the family and Informed
that the meal was in waiting. Young
Feldschneider replied and said he
would be down shortly. Time went
on and along about o'clock his peo-
pie became alarmed and proceeded to
the bath room, the door of which they
found locked There was no response
to their calls. A ladder was then run
to the bath room window from the out
side. An entrnace disclosed the fact
that the young man was laying uncon-
scious ont he by floor by the side of
the tub. DR.. Shinnick was immed-
lately called and upon his arrival at
the home worked over the sufferer for
some time. When the doctor left at
10 o'clock the young man mad regain :
ed consciousness and was doing nicely.
The doctor attributes the ailment
to the heat.
