Overcome by Gas.

Two young men, John Dalhquist and Otto
Johnson, were overcome by gas while in
their room in house No. 616 9Th street early
yesterday morning. Mr.. Sylven, the pro-
prietor, was awakened and he detected the
odor of gas. He made an investigation and
found that the gas was escaping from the
fixture in the room in which the two men
were sleeping. The occupants Of the room
had been made sick and Mr.. Sylven hastily
rendered what assistance he could.
The windows in the room were opened
as soon as the flow of gas had been stopped

bulance was summoned from the Emer-
gency Hospital. and the sick men were re-
moved to that institution. They were out
