Cuts His Own Throat While Asleep.

St. Louis, Mo., July 21.—William Pohlman, a somnambulist, cut his throat in his sleep, and only prompt work by physicians saved his life. Pohlman got his pocket knife out of his trousers and did not awaken, he said, ■until the steel entered his flesh. Then he became unconscious from the loss of blood and could not summon help.
