Since Landlord True's connection with the
saco House at Saco he has been the means
of saving not less than ten persons from suf-
locating from escaping gas. On Saturday
evening three Hayerhill shoemakers, who
were on their way to work in Kennebunk
and who were carried by that station on the
late Pullman, called at the Saco House to
obtain lodgings for the night. They were
shown to room 10 and they soon retired. Mr..
True had occasion to pass the room late in
the evening and his attention was called to a
strong odor of gas. He raped loudly on
their door and, on gaining admittance,
found the gas turned on at full blast. His
discovery saved the men.
