the door of the Rutherford home. An
| officer broke open the front door and
Mr.. and Mrs Rutherford, were found
dead in their bed. Their son, John
Rutherford, was lying unconscious on the
floor, having also been overcome by the
gas, but later he recovered. Mrs. Annie
GalIaher and Miss Mildred Srlull, who
lived next door to the RutheriUrds, were
also made desperately i'll by the gas, but
were restored in time TO save their lives.
An investigation showed that gas pipe
had been broken in the street few doors
away, and the escaping gas followed the
line OF the pipes into the two houses and
filled them with the suffocating fumes.
Mr.. Rutherford, who was 72yearS OF age,
was retired B. & o. freight conductor
