| blew out the gas at her room in the St.
| Adams house last evening, and had a mar
| row escape from death in consequence.
| She went to the hotel Friday evening and
| was shown to room on the second floor.
| Nothing strange was noticed around the
| hotel until Saturday morning about four
o'clock, when one Of the bell boys detected
the odor of gas in the hall, and, on investi-
| CATION, located leak in room 10, which was
Miss Camps ROOM The door was broken
in and Miss Camp was found unconscious
upon her bed. Dr. Sherwood was imme
| diately summoned and worked over the
woman some time before she was resusci
| tated. The woman was much better this

Miss Camp probably owes her life to the
fact that the window was open few inches
| and thus much OF the gas passed harmleSsl }
