When Ernest Senechal's neighbor Emma Frame smelled gas coming from Senechal's apartment she called the police, but when the police arrived on the scene a drunken Senechal was discovered to have released gas from the lighting fixtures and stove burners and then proceeded to pull a match out after police had broken in, yelling, "Whoops! We'll all go bye-bye together, boys!" before he was tackled by Deputy Sheriff Jurgeson.
Senechal holds a cigarette between his lips as he holds a match up to light it.
