OCR Text	Show KORTH LOCKED UP FOR THIRTY MINUTES Sanitary Inspector W. J. Korth had a thlrty-mlnute experience Saturday that he does not care to repeat for some time. As he was about to leave the office of the Board of Health one of his friends pushed him into the vault and closed the door. After springing the bolts the Joker unthinkingly turned the combination and Will was locked in with no one in the office who knew the combination. To make the matter worse the vault contained a large quantity of formaldehyde, the fumes of which nearly overcame the imprisoned man. Korth told those on the outside to turn on the light He then took a hatchet which was in the vault and unscrewed un-screwed the back of the box which incloses in-closes the mechanism of the lock. In about twenty minutes he managed to catch the combination and escape. "No more of that for me," said Will, as he caught a breath of fresh air.
