THREE MEN GASSED
TRAPPED BY FUMES IN SILO ON FARM RESCUERS TOO LATE Reed. 1 p.m. LONDON, Friday. An unprecedented tragedy occurred to T. Crofts, a farmer, and to George Jackson and Ernest Brain, labourers, who were asphyxiated by carbonic acid gas in a silo at Stretton. Jackson and Brain entered a sro and a few moments later a farm hand heard shouting and ascended the ladder.
When he saw the men gassed he called Crofts, who entered the silo, and when rescuers arrived all were dead.
