JAMES NIXON’S NARROW ESCAPE
Awoke, Suffocating from Smoke which Filled Room in Which he Slept.
[Welland Telegraph, 12 January 1912]
James Nixon had a narrow escape from death from suffocation early Wednesday morning.
Mr. Nixon left a small oilstove burning in his sleeping apartments when he retired. About three o’clock next morning he awakened strangling with a dense smoke which filled the room. Although almost overcome he managed to pick up the stove and throw it from the room.
The smoke was evidently due to the blocking of the flues with soot.
