Rabbits Are Gassed. .
The rabbits had terrifying ex-
perience last night, and one OF the
prize rabbits belonging to Clarence
Otto succumbed to gas from motor.
A. motor was used to generate light
for the building, and during the even
ing the lights went out and 1t was
necessary TO generate more power.
In doing this the deadly gas from
the motor escaped and many Of the
rabbits evidently felt the effects OF
the carbon monoxide. They were
speedily revived. however, and ap-
parently recovered. The Otto lads
pet, however, must have had seri-
Gus dose of gas, as it died.
