COURAGEOUS GAS CO. WORKMAN SAVES BANK FROM GAS FUMES

Deadly gas fumes enveloped the Cambridge Trust Co. at five o'clock yesterday, as frenzied workmen buzzed around a gaping cavity in Dunster Street. Onsmellers cried "foul play", while soda jerkers from Huyler's rushed off for gas masks, fearing a German air raid.

Fast though the busy workers shovelled away the dirt, the gas escaped faster. Frost action complicated matters still further.

No progress having been made as late as 6:30 o'clock a daring Horatio from the ranks of the Cambridge Gas Light Co. stepped into the breach and plunged into the already gas-filled man hole.

By his courageous action the burst gas main was stopped up and the gas company workers completed what the foreman termed "just another job."
