Engineer Barrus Overcome ny Coal Gas In
an Old House In Cedar Park.
The body OF William N Barrus. an engineer.
~ years old. was found lying on tho floor In
one Of the rooms of old house in Cedar
Park. 15sth street and Mott avenue. yesterday
morning. The house is o two-and-a-h
story structure. ever seventy-fye years old. 1t
was once fashionable residence. but the fami-
ly Of the original owners has not occupied It
for twenty years. Barrus lived alone In the
house and cooked his own meals. He was en-
ployed as n stationary engineer at the Rector
road.
His wife died about a year ago. and when his
younger children went to live in the upper
part OF tho state he refused the offer OF HON Q
with grown-up son In this city. Barrus was
well-known in the neighborhood. He was re-
ported to have saved quito a sum OF money
anu To own some city property. Shortly after
O'Clock on Monday afternoon Park Policeman
McGoveTn saw Darius go into the old house.
At 10 O'Clock yesterday morning the police
mhn went to see IL the engineer was still at
home lie detected a strong odor OF coal gas
When he opened the door OF the room in which
Barrus lived the gas was SO strong that the
policeman had to wait a few moments before
he could enter
The body Of tho engineer lay beside an over
turned chair. The gas was escaping from
cracks in an old coal stove at one side OF the
room. 1t Is believed that the man fell asleep
In MS chair and was overcome by the gas
