BOYD WORTH MULLINS
  
BOY, 8, LIKES SMELL
OF GAS; LOSES LIFE
  
Because he liked the smell of gas and knew nothing of its deadly
effects, Boyd Worth Mullins, 8 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Will
Mullins of Keaton, is dead.
  
The youth was missing only a short time from his home last Friday
afternoon when he was found unconscious near a gas pump in the
yard of his home.  The boy was rushed to the Paintsville Hospital
where Dr. Paul B. Hall said he had been dead about ten minutes.
  
It was said that the little fellow, who had been raised up in the
gas field, always had enjoyed the smell of fumes from gas wells.
  
Apparently he had been purposely inhaling the gas fumes and had
become unconscious from the effects.
