NEAR DEATH PLAYING DENTIST.

Man With Pincers as Forceps Has Narrow Esoape. Pottstown, Pa.—Almost frantic with pain from an aching tooth while working at the Pottstown Brewery one morning, Sanford Shomo, an engineer, determined to play dentist himself, and yanked the molar out with a pair of pincers. But In doing It he severed an artery and was In danger of bleeding to death when he was rushed to a dentist's office. Two dentlßts were routed out of bed and they, with the aid of a physician, managed to stop the flow of blood and save his life.
