tending the Peninsula Methodist
Conference in Wilmington. When
Mr.. Jones returned home, he heard
his son struggling and went to him
and found that he was bleeding at
the mouth and nose. Realizing that
was serious he rushed to
the telephone and called a physi-
clan. His son asked him to lead him
to a place where he could get some
air, which the father did. He was
taken into the yard but was dead,
or practically so, when the physi-
clan arrived. The deceased was a
