Kansas Pair Found Dead in Cabin
Kansas City, Kan., Nov. 16 - O. L. Landreth, 31 years old, and Miss Oleta Lebow, 21, were found dead in a cabin in the Walnut Grove tourist camp on U.S. Highway 50, between Merriam and Shawnee, in Johnson County, last night. Death apparently was due to asphyxiation from fumes of a gas stove which was burning in the cabin.

Landreth was married and was manager of a tire store here and had left the store Wednesday for two weeks vacation. Miss Lebow was a member of the June graduating class at Bethany Hospital here, but was not a registered nurse. Her foster parents live in Kincaid, Kansas.
Mrs. Landreth, who with an 11 year old daughter survives him, said he left home Wednesday night presumably for a fishing trip in the Ozarks. Mrs. Kenneth Simpson, with whom Miss Lebow made her home, said the girl had told her she was going to spend Wednesday night with a friend.
