A NOT AUS
BY

According to later informa-
ton received, the death of Mr..
Sam Hebert in this city yester-
day morning was not caused by
a relapse due to his appearance
on the streets before complete
recovery, as stated in The Re-
view. The original information
as given to a representative of
The Review in a report of the
DEATH, was confused with an
other case. The Review gladly
publishes this correction so the
public will not gain the erron-
eous impression that the Red
Cross workers or others who had
any connection with the case,
were in any way negligent.
