NARROW ESCAPE
FROM ASPHYXIATI0N

William Hewitt. who resides in the
drst house across the c. b. 4 g. Ry.
tracks on Webster street had mir
acul0us escape from death this morn
ing when he was discovered in his
bed, in a semi-c0n Scious condition., N
a room that was hlled with gas fumes
which were escaping from a gas Jet,
which is claimed to have been acci.
IDENTIFY turned on last night, The dis
coyery was made by b. ". Schraeder
Il workman for the 'C. B. 4 q. Ryr
who went to the Hewitt home, about
nine O'Clock this morning and forced
his way into the room with skele-
ton key. MIR, Hewitt is now patient
at Rybun Memorial Hospital, aad
according to his attending physician
DR.. S. +. Parr, is we'll on the ROAD to
recovery.
Mr.. Hewitt has been living alone
since his wife died about six months
ago. He resided in the upstairs OF
the house and Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick
Mann resided in the down stairs
rooms. He is employed as a section
forman on the {. b. 4 @. When he
failed to come to work this morning
his fellow workmen became alarmed
and Mr.. SChraeder went to the house
to find out what was the trouble. He
went into the hall discovered the gas
fumes. ald inside of a very few mo-
ments had forced his way into Mr.
Hewitt'S room, opened the windows
and was using first aid remidies to
restore the stricken man. The po-
lice ambulance was called and Mr.
Hewitt was removed to Ryburn Mem
orial hospital where DR.. S. +. Parr
was called to attend him.
This afternoon he had completely
lregained his consciousness. and was
resting easily.
Persons who entered the Hewitt
home, found some mushrooms and
thought at first that the man was suf-
fering from a fungus poisoning.
Hewitt stated this afternoon that
the affair was an accident. and that
the only plausible excuse he could
fiId for it, was that the cap was off
the jet, which caused it to leak after
he had gone to sleep.
