.THE OREGON; DAILY JOURNAL; 1 PORTLAND, TUESDAY EVENING. , JULY- 83. IWT. fi BARRICADED MAN IS RIDDLED WITH BULLETS Peter Olson, Insane or Desperate, Engaged Seven Police men in Pistol Battle Four Bullets Necessary to Sub jugate Man, Who Lies at Hospital, Dying. A sanguinary and sensational pistol wutie In the dark between even polio men and an Insans or desperate man .barricaded in a room, resulting In the latter being riddled with bullets from the revolvers of the brave bluecoata, occurred at 10 o'clock last night In the Lyon rooming house, Kourth and Flan ders streets. Peter Olson, a butcher, either seised with a sudden fit of detaentla or desir ous of embarking on a career of out lawry, after terrorising the inmates of me lodging house, oarncaaea nnnseir in his room and until laid low by four bullets, which will undoubtedly result fatally, effectually held the squad of patrolmen at Day. Caused Internee Xxoltemeni. The affair caused Intense excitement. Olson now Ilea at the Oood Samaritan hospital, where he was removed after his capture, with three gunshot wounds Inusf.e head and one In the left leg ve the knee. The wounded men is i most precarious condition and the -surgeons Hold out cut little nope or til recovery. It was about 7 o'clock last evening tnat Resale reterson ana Clara Roberts, who conduct the Lvon roomlna house, at the northeast corner of fourth and Flanders streets, notified Patrolmen Arundson and Thorpe that Peter Olson, occupying room 10, after Indulging In much vituperation and abuse, had left the house with the expressed intention of purchasing a revolver and extermin ating; every one In the place. Upon going to Olson's room the ps trolmen found that he had not returned and accordingly took their departure. The policeman again put In an appear ance at 9:80 p. m. ana Olson, who was in the hall, ran to his room and slammed the door. In reply to a question from the occupant of the apartment as to their business, Thorpe announced that they were policemen. Answered With Bulls. No sooner had the bluecoat finished answering the Interrogatory than Olson fired a shot through the door st the two policemen. Leaving Thorpe on guard, Arundson hastened to a telephone and notified Captain Blover at headquarter of the condition of affairs. In response to the officer's call for assistance Cap tains Bruin and Blover hastily organ ized a squad, consisting of Detectives Price and Hawley. Sergeant Cole and Patrolmen Wade and Endlcott, and raced to the scene in the patrol wagon. Csptaln Bruin deployed the officers about the door of the room and demand ed that Olson open the door. The blood- tnirsty cook rerused and Bruin then de termined to make further Investlgstlon. Making his way to a window In an ad joining nouse through which he could look Into Olson's room. Bruin discovered the man lying on the bed with a re volver In his hand. About this time the patrolmen In the hallway were attempting to break down the door and Olson thereupon Jumped from the bed and covered the entrance to his room with the pistol. Bruin palled to him to drop the revolver, at the same time covering him with his gun. Olson rushed to the window and after hastily looking out again turned his attention to the door, which was by this time beginning to give way at the repeated onslaughts of the police men. With a crash the door fell and almost simultaneously Olson fired several shots. The bluecnats returned the fire and one of the bullets extinguished thn kerosene lamp. In all about six or seven shots were fired, and when a lamp was finally secured Olson was found seated In a chair bleeding pro fusely from four wounds. Bsmored to Hospital. The Injured man was conveyed to the Oood Samaritan hospital with all speed and placed under the care of the surgeons. He became exceedingly vio lent after reaching the hospital and had 11 the symptoms of Insanity, whether tils condition was due to the bullet wounds in his head cannot be deter mined. In the police court this morning a complaint was filed against Olson, charging him with assault with s dan cerous weaoon and In the event of his jecovery he will be prosecuted on this charge. Captain Bruin highly commends the officers participating In the affair for their bravery under fire. It Is regarded as a miracle that none of the policemen were wounded and the police regret that It became necessary to vhoot the man In order to effect his capture. In view of the sttendlng circumstances cnier urltz- macher declares that no other course was open to his men snd believes that they were Justified in bringing their re volvers into play.
