ENTIRE FAMILY OVERCOME BY GAS
Gas Escaping from Coal Stove is Nearly Fatal
BOY IN STUPOR IS NEAR TO HIS DEATH
Overcome by gas escaping from a coal stove, the entire family of Thomas Gaginski (sic), So. Nineteenth Street, had a close call to death Monday and one member, a young son, was revived only after hours of work by physicians who were called, the boy being thought dead when found. Members of the family are suffering from the effects of the poisonous gas.
Aroused in some manner, Mrs. Gaginski was able to realize the plight of the family but when she attempted to leave her bed to open a window and arouse other members of the family, she found that she could not do so owning to the effects of gas. She aroused her husband however, and with considerable effort he was able to reach a door which he opened , admitting the fresh air which aided in reviving his wife. A son of the family was found completely overcome by the gas and all efforts to arouse him failed until physicians were called. Investigation showed the trouble to be due to the fact that the stove had not been cleaned and when the stove became filled with gas, the door was blown open, filling the room. It is fortunate that Mrs. Gaginski was awakened else the family might have been dead when found.

JOHN GOLATA
 
DEATH CAME AS HE LABORED
John Golata, South Side Man, Victim of Heart Attack, is Dead
NO WARNING GIVEN OF COMING OF DEATH
Heart failure, an attack of which he suffered while at work at noon today, caused the sudden death of John Golata, a well known resident of the Seventh Ward, Mr. Golata failing to survive the shock of the attack and death resulted within a few minutes. The death of Mr. Golata occurred at Fifteenth and Columbus Street where he was employed in work on the erection of a new home for Street Commissioner Emil Vollendorf. No inquest was deemed necessary, the cause of death being pronounced heart trouble.
Mr. Golata was employed as a mason and was engaged in mixing mortar for his work at the time he suffered the fatal attack. He was in apparent good health and had not complained of illness and his death was a shock to fellow workmen, who rushed to his assistance when he fell to the ground, apparently in a faint. The unfortunate man was found in a death struggle when his associates reached his side and before the arrival of  a physician who was summoned, death had claimed him.  
A resident of the city for many years, Mr. Golata was well known and was respected by his neighbors and friends as a  man of industrious habits. The family resides at 1916 Marshal Street and the body was removed there at once and the funeral will probably be held Saturday. Mr. Golata was about 56 years of age and is survived by a widow and family of grown children.
