GAS DEATH NOT

Room Filled With Fumes
From Jas Jet.
FATHER CLAIMS TT A mIsHAP
Sevenfeen-Year-Old Miss Believed
To Be Victim of Accident at
Her Home.

For the frz time in several
weeks, Grace Elizabeth Hudson,
aged II, daughter of Mrs. Ella
Ledgett, coll Fourth avenue, last
night used the gas light in her
room prior to retiring just before
midnight. This morning at 6
o'clock she was found asphyxiated
beyond hopes of recovery.
DR.. Joseph De Silva was sum-
moned Immediately after the girl
was discovered but all steps to re-
vive her we : abandoned by the
physician, who stated that she had
been dead for more than an hour.
Occupants OF the house vigor-
ously denied the theory of suicide,
saying that Grace had been in the
best of health and that she was in
a happy mood when she was last
seen last night.
She had been using an oil lamp.
Last night the lamp was empty,
and relatives think THAI she used
the gas, not wanting to awaken
any enc while she secured more
oil.
There is nothing known that
would lead her TO take her own
life, her step-father, Arthur Led
gett, told an Argus representative
today.
THE thought OF suicide is ridic-
uIous," he said. "Grace had moth
ing to cause her to worry and it
was absolutely an accident"

Wounded four times while rip
ping it into the Hun, one of the
first Rock Island officers TO get ov-
erseas, Lieutenant Ben D. Farrar,
2117 Twelfth street, has arrived at
New York from overseas.
A message to this effect was re-
ceived yesterday by his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. F. F. FaTrar. The
lieutenant is at Camp Merritt, N. J.,
in charge of a casual company
which will proceed this week to
Camp Dodge, Iowa, for discharge.
He is expected home early next
week.
Lieutenant Farrar, formerly in
the Office of States Attorney Floyd
Thompson, and one of the mem
bers of the Rock Island county
bar association, made plain on the
western front that he was able to
mix up in powder and shell battles
as we'll as the legal variety which
are less strenuous, of course, on
his person He won his commits
sion at Fort Sheridan in the sum-
mer of 1917, and in December of
that year went overseas with the
Twenty-third infantry, a regular
army outfit.
1t was at Chateau-Thierry that
Lieutenant Farrar received his
most severe wound. This was in
July. He had been wounded sever
al times previously and the injuries
had not healed when he returned
to action, but that did not deter
this fighting lieutenant from going
on up to the big show. He went
into the thick of it with the vim of
a fresh soldier. The last wound
was in his side.
