Correctionville. Oct. 29.-About thir-
ty children became unconscious from
some mysterious cause, during a NOV
ing picture show here. After thor
ough investigation local officials have
been unable to assign any reasonable
explanation to the condition.
1t was at first assumed that gas
fumes had been leaking from gaso-
lene engine in the basement of the
building used to generate power for
the lights. An inspection of the base
ment, however. brought forth no in
dications of this kind and the authori-
ties are completely nonplussed.
The affected children seemed to have
been stricken quite suddenly and the
condition Of coma was absolute and
alarming There were many adults in
the building at the time and some OF
these complained of peculiar pains
about the head, but no adult was en-
tirely overcome.
Ordinary Program.
At the movie show the usual mixed
program Of comedy and dramatic reels
was given. and there was nothing In
the program that could have produced
any intense excitement on childish
minds.
About $3.50 in the evening several
children were observed to collapse sud-
denly. Investigation showed the con-
dition to be general all over the house
and intense excitement Immediately
prevailed. The two local doctors were
summoned to their offices and willing
hands quickly rushed the stricken chill
dren to the physicians for relief.
Restoration Difficult.
The severity of the attacks were in
dicated in the difficulty experienced in
restoring the children to consciousness.
