Mrs EElla Moody, her daughter Miss
Bertha and her aged mother, Mrs Bright,
are i'll from the effects of inhaling gas
from an uncovered stove. Bright Moody
left his car as usual about A. NJ, but
was unable to gain admission to the house
for some time. After some delay the
door was opened by his mother whom
he found very sick and who said Bertha
was sick too and she couldn't waken her.
Upon further investigation Mrs. Bright
was found in the same condition The
preceding night the fire had been at
tended to before retiring but the top of
the stove was left uncovered by mistake.
The probability is that if Mr.. Moody had
not come just at the time he did the con-
seqences must have been fatal. The J
ladies are recovering.
