A Correction.

In the issue of The Herald, under
j te of Dec. 30. an item slipped in
relative to the death of Lawrence
Zenz, in which it was stated that the
hoy died following an operation for
tunsilitis. We had this from a
source believed to be authentic and
in the rush it got by, without the
usual Investigation.
1t now develops that the cause of
death was hemmorage; that the
slight operation IA mere incision to
relieve an abscess on the left s de of
his neck-had noth'ng to do with the
end, and that there was no possibility
of tonsilitis, as the tonsils had been
removed from the boy a couple of
years ago.
Under the circumstances it seem 8
desirable and proper that this cor
rection be made.
