Shoitly after retiring Wednesday night,
Mr. Herbert's attention was attracted
to him by some slight noise, when she
aroused hfm and asked him it anything
was the matbr. Hs replied: "nothing is
the mattsr, only I hnve had a bad
dream." Again at about 1Q o'clock Mrs
Herbert heard him breathing very hard
and laboriously and again endeavored
to arouse him but without success. She
then became alarmed and aroneed Mrs.
