HE LEFT A TUB OF GASOLINE.
And Other Roomers Feared It Would
Explode -- Firemen Emptied It.
An unknown man procured a tub of gasoline last night which he placed in a room at 110 West Fifth street. It was evidently his purpose to clean an overcoat, for one was found in the tub. It all might have gone well, but the other occupants of the building began to smell the gasoline as it evaporated through the rooms. Becoming fearful of fire the telephoned to fire headquarters and asked that the matter be looked into.
A man was sent to the house. He poured the gasoline down the sewer.
