Shoots Self During Nightmare.
Sudden fear caused by a nightmare came near proving fatal to Michael Matthews, 22 years of age, at Madison, Wis., when he shot himself in the temple with a revolver.
When taken to a hospital Matthews related the story of a dream in which he was captured by a gang of ruffians who were making preparation to torture him.
Quickly taking a revolver he pulled the trigger and emerged from his dream. The revolver had been under his pillow.
