Gas tragedy at Laclede hotel leaves man dead
A young man named Byerly living near Agenay suffocated by gas at Ottumwa’s Laclede hotel Saturday night. He attempted to turn on electric light, triggering two close jets of gas. The case surfaces amid multiple legal actions from the Highland Center wreck aftermath, including a $17,000 suit by the estate of Mrs. Susanna B. Jones. Separately, Rev. Geo W Baxter of Knoxville faced church discipline for alleged improprieties, including relationships with four women and falsehoods.
