MORPHINE POISON CAUSED HIS DEATH. HE DIED IN THE HOSPITAL

C.D. Nester, of Sherman, Gets Stupid at the Buckhorn, and Can Not be Roused. 
The Police Trying to Find Where He Got the Poison

At about 2 o'clock this morning, Police Officer Ganaway was called to the Buckhorn saloon, to take charge of a man who appeared to
need medical attention.

The man was lying on the floor and could not be roused. The bartender and others in the saloon stated that he entered the saloon and drank a couple of glasses of cold beer, took a seat, nodded and fell on the floor.

Officer Ganaway called up the ambulance and had the man taken to the city hospital, where he died an hour later. Dr. Armstrong, in
charge of the hospital, says the man died of an overdose of morphine.

The dead man had on him, some papers from which his name is believed to be C.D. Nester, a railroad man from Sherman. He was
about 30 years old.

Undert,  Laudermilk & Miller, who took charge of the body, have wired to Sherman in the effort to reach his relatives or friends.

The police are trying to ascertain under what circumstances Nester took the poison.
