Gas Well Fumes Kin Hoy.

Oval Lewellyn. 9-year-old SON Of Mr..
and Mrs. j. e. Lewellyn, who lives
five miles west of Neodesha, was in
stEntly killed while playing around a
gas well on the farm. Just what caus-
ed the boys death is not known, out
it is thought to have been from as
phyxiation. Oval and an older brother
were out rabbit hunting. When pass
ing gas well on the Long farm Oval
stopped to experiment, and turned the
valve of the drip. The older boy went
on. paying little attention to what
Oval was doing. When Oval did not
come. the older boy went back and
found him dead. and the drip valve
open. The most plausible theory is
that the boy put his mouth over She
pipe and received a full breath of the
gas.
