PUT TO SLEEP BY
AN EXHAUST PIPE
Four Young Men Narrowly Es=

River Steamer
[Seeeiol Dispqteh TO The Call

SACRAMENTO, June 23.-Four young
men, Robert Campbell, James Campbell,
John Meyers and Salvatore Riolo, mar
rowly escaped death from asphyxiation
in a peculiar manner last night. They
had secretly attached tow line of their
rowboat to the rear of an excursion
steamer going up the Sacramento river.
The rowboat was in direct line with
the exhaust pipe of the gasoline en-
gine and constant breathing of the
fumes rendered the quartet unconscious
in which condition they were found by
a deckhand.
1t was first thought the boys were
asleep in the boat, but close investiga-
tion discovered their true condition and
they were rushed to the receiving hos
pital. 1t took the combined efforts of
several physicians and excursionists for
two hours to revive the lads.
The boys in describing their expert
ence said they wondered why they be-
came so drowsy. One by one they fell
asleep, and that is all they remember.
