baby narrowly escaped being as
phyxiated by gas yesterday after
noon at their home, 213 S. Race st.
The family recently moved into the
house. and at the time the family
previously occupying the dwelling
moved out the gas was turned off
and the pipe disconnected where it
entered the house. Yesterday the
company turned the gas on with

Mrs. Sakorski discovered the loca-
ton of the open pipe. She was al
most overcome but was able to sum-

a physician to attend the mother
and child. The gas company was
notified and a man was sent 10 turn

EARLY MORNING FIRE
THREATENS L. w. HOME

A stubborn fire at the residence
OF Walter Showers. 31s Lincoln way
w, which is owned by Mrs Nellie
Morse. gave the fire department
more than an hours fight at an
early hour Friday morning before
the blaze had been extinguished.
The efficiency Of the local depart
ment was effectively demonstrated
in the fact that the fire had gained
a fairly good Roadway and was put
out without the aid Of water. chem
icals being the only agency en-
ployed, the loss on the building
amounting TO but about $50.
The fire originated in some I'M
know manner in a waste paper box
in a cellar-way. the sparks from
which ignited some paper on the
top of a cupboard. The fire had
eaten it's way into the partition and
roof and required considerable work
with the axes before the chemicals
could be used effectively.
The alarm was given to the de-
partment by telephone by Mrs,
Showers. who was awakened by the
cracking OF the flames. The fire.
men were also hampered in their
work by the dense smoke through
out the house.

MEIXEL MURDER
IS LOCAL WORK
Deputy Sheriff 0iSCreditS the
Theory That ConviCtS
Committed Crime.

Tha, Mr. and Mrs. George W.
Nickel were murdered by a person
or persons who were more or less
intimately acquainted with the vic
Tins and not by two escaped Mich
igan City convicts as was first
thought, is the theory on which
Deputy Sheriff Ray G. Barley, the
police and detectives are basins
their search for the culprits now.
The funeral of the victims Will be
held from their late residence. 1740
Mishawaka av., at 1 o'clock Sat
urday afternoon. Rev. VI. H. Apple
by will conduct the services and bur
ial will be in Mishawaka cemetery.
Local Criminals.
Deputy Sheriff Barley. after a
thorough investigation stated Thurs
day night that he has excellent rea-
sons for believing the murders were
perpetrated by local individuals. Al
though suspicion is lifted from
Charles Hull and William Schray
in the latest theory. the police will
continue a relentless search for the
escaped Michigan City convicts.
According TO Barley, strangers
such as Hull and Schray could not
have been we'll informed as TO the
habits and actions of Mr.. and Mrs.
Nickel unless they had been
shadowing the victims for the past
week. The fact that a beaten-down
spot in the hay in the barn loft lends
weight TO the theory that Schray
and Hull might have hidden there
for several nights, but as far as can
be learned 10 Ioiterers were seen
about the premises for the past
week
1t is pointed out that convicts
making their escape from prison
would not ordinarily linger long
within a short distance Of Michigan
City. If they CHANGED 70 come to
South Bend at all after effecting
their escape they must have learn
ed or surmised that the local police
were on the lookout for them and.
consequently concluded il would be
hazardous 10 remain long here
abouts.
Waited i'm Hiding.
Barkley believes that persons who
knew the Meixels quite well were in
hiding as the old couple appeared
in the barn early Wednesday morn
ing preparatory TO starting their
days work. Their purpose was to
waylay Mr.. and Mrs. Nickel and
then to search the house for $4,000
Il i
den therein. When the old couple
made resistance, the murderers
brought the singletree and adj in
TO brutal use. Mr.. MeiXers pockets
were searched and $40 is thought to
have been taken from them. The
murderers then hastily ransacked
the house for a big haul and escap-
ed.
Report has come 70 detectives
working on the case that a neighbor,
s. w. Evans, living at 1920 S. Sixth
St, saw Mr.. Nickel at 8 o'clock on
the morning of the murder, only an
hour and a half before a number
Of workmen in charge Of Cornelius
Taylor, having stopped at the barn
for shelter from the rain. heard a
moaning and on investigation found
the bodies Of the old people. Evans
told the police that he often saw
his neighbors, especially on fine
mornings. working about their home
and barn shortly after daylight. On
the morning of the murder how
ever, he did not see anyone PROV
ling about the house before or after
he had seen Mr.. Nickel just previous
TO the murder.
