About 4:30 o'clock in the morning Mr. Hart awakened his wife, complaining of a terrible pain on the left side of his breast. Mrs. Hart made a mustard plaster for him and applied it to his chest. He told her he thought he would be easler soon and advised her to return to her sleep. A few minutes later Mr. Hart began to groan with pain and became uncon- sclous. The household was aroused by Mrs. Hart and Dr. Maxwell was summoned, but before the physiclan could get there Mr. Hart's life had passed away. Dr. Maxwell pronounced the cause of death apoplexy.
