Escape From Gas.
G. F. Baxter and family, residing at
26O6 Lyndale avenue north, had mar
row escape from being suffOcated by

faint and dizzy. He at once di-

dOmestics. All were more or less under
the influence of the deadly gas, and it
was with extreme difficulty that they
were aroused. An hour or two more
