Cigarette Boxes Gas Jet and a Cot

Combination that Called Out Fire Department.

Innocent Co-ed Thought that the Shower of Meteors Had Arrived.

A combination of some empty cigarette boxes, a lighted gas jet and a cot bed brought out the fire department and numerous curious people last night to 511 Monroe st. The house is occupied by Mrs. W. M. Ferris and there are several students rooming there. Dangling from a gas fixture directly over the bed were several cigarette boxes. They caught on fire and dropped. The bed blazed up. The fire department, however, was at the scene in time to keep the damage down under $100.

Some sparks were dropping down in front of the window of an unsuspecting co-ed below. She afterwards remarked that she thought the shower of meteors had arrived.
