Sudden Death at Cedar Falls.
Waterloo Reporter, June 24th:—An old man named Jacob Schneider died suddenly last night at Cedar Falls. About a week ago a piece of meat became stuck in his throat, and in attempting to remove it a physician pushed it down. Three days later, however, other doctors removed the meat which obstructed the passage way to his stomach and endangered his life. It was then thought he was in a fair way to recover, when his lungs became afflicted in some manner and he died last night. A post mortem examination is being held this afternoon.
