Domestic Worker Nearly Dies from Gas Leak in Seattle Home

Marie Hensen, a young woman employed as a domestic at the home of Mrs. Harry Frasier, 910 Fourth Street, was found in a dying condition from the effects of gas left turned on in her room at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. It was not until late in the afternoon that she was restored to consciousness. The woman is a sister of C. E. Hensen, who lives at 290 West Street, and had been in Mrs. Frasier's employ but a few days. When she failed to appear yesterday morning, Mrs. Frasier went upstairs and found the girl unconscious with gas escaping from the jet. Dr. H. P. Kline was summoned and spent the entire day restoring her. During the afternoon she opened her eyes and explained that about midnight she became ill and got out of bed. When trying to light the gas she turned it on but was too weak to light it. She sank to the floor, and about an hour later half-dragged herself back into bed, forgetting the gas. She was soon unconscious. About 7 o'clock in the evening she was removed to her brother's home.
