VICTIMS OF COAL GAS

Baker Johnson, a well-known attor-
ney-at-law of Frederick. City, was
found dead, asphyxiated by coal gas
at his home shortly before 8 o'clock
Tuesday night. Thomas Leakins, a
negro attendant, was also found dead,
in the same room and from the same
cause. In room on the third floor
Mrs. 'Eloise Young English, sister-in-
law of Mr.. Johnson, and her two
daughters, Ruth, ID, and Louise, IL,
were found i'll from the fumes. Mrs.
johnson, who has been i'll for the past
several days in room adjoining her
husband, WAS not affected. Her condi-
ton was such that she was not in
formed of the unfortunate occurrence.
The gas came from fireplace stovS
in the dining room. Mr.. Johnson oc-
cupied the room directly over the din
ingroom, heated from the stove by a
register. The door was closed. The
room occupied by Mrs. English and
her children was gradually filling with
gas and the fumes were beginning to
penetrate the room of Mrs. Johnson
when the condition of the house was
discovered. The timely coming of
Mrs. Bernard Eader, about s o'clock,
to relieve the negro servant, prevented
the entire household from being suffo-
Gated by the poisonous fumes.

BARN BURNED

Fire destroyed the barn on the farm
tenanted by Mr.. Samuel Long of near
Fora, Pa, few miles north of EN-
mitsburg, early last Saturday morning
Six horses, two mules and fourteen
head of milk cows were burned, to-
gether with large quantity of hay,
feed and farming implements. Mr..
Long is inclined to believe that the fire
was of incendiary origin. When he
awoke at 5 o'clock he heard the roar
of the flames which he at first thought
was caused by a motor truck passing
but soon discovered the barn envel-
oped in flames. Only one horse was
saved and that was badly burned.
The total loss on the live stock is es-
timated at $500; hay and feed $1,000
and farming implements $500. With
the barn and it's contents went a silo
and shed. The total loss is estimated
at upward Of $4,000.
