In which Mr. olon tvns ho badly burned occurred nt 6:30 O'clock laHt even 1 iifj In a one-story frame structure at West Jackson and Narregnn streets occupied by the gleaning department of tho Medford Cleaners. Mr. Olfion, who In 31! years gld and resides nt the ltlversidc aportniontH, had just put a batch of clothing In the machinery wa.sher, which wuh partly filled with gasoline, and 'Started up the motor when a spui'k ignited the Kaollne and the washer blew up, scnttering the burn ing gasoline throughout the room, terribly burning Olson's forearms and hands, his face and ankles. The room of oourtte was set on fire in a number of places. The explosion blew the door of tho room shut, and the injured man with presence of mind lay down on the floor to escape the rising fumes nnd managed to crawl to the door, arise and open it and make his way outside to roll on the grass, where people living nearby found him. Olson was TUHhed to tho Community hospital in Ik car by Earl York, a neighbor ' Tho fire department was summoned quickly after tho explosion ami flro, but on arriving found the frame structure practically ruined, with Its roof and Interior badly burned by the flnm.ea,. The totnl loss, outside of the cloth ing ruined by the washer blowing up. nnd tho flro. Is nboiit $1000, with par tial Insurance, Four or five hundred dollars of this loss Is on the building und t he remainder on the dumngcd machinery. Mr. Olson had started his Medford Cleaners business several months ago and hud developed It Into a successful business enture in (he tare of a num ber of discouragements, und only yes terday had taken in (. A, Johnson as ti partner. Yesterday was Jrthnson'b first day on active duty In the busl neas as n partner. Therefore much sympathy Is felt for Mr. OIhoii, nnd also for Mr. Johnpon. Tho lntter, who won conditdlnii business in the main office of tin Medford Cleaners on North Vrom street this forenoon declared thai tho business would go on as usual, and that new cleaning quar ters would bo eslnbl tilled as soon a possibio. -The flro alarm nt 3 o'clock thb morning summoned the department Ao 1027 West Mniu streot to extin guish a fire in a new house thai had been constructed there by Newton Hawk some time ago nnd which had not yet been occupied. This fire, It Iff thought,' originated thru spontane ous combustion in a ground floor Closet of the one slory frAme building Among a pile of oil rags. The fire had burned up thru tin -closet to tho roof and also set flro ti the room ndjolulng the closet, and haJ destroyed a large portion of tin roof and badly scorched the ronm, before tho firemen arrived and extin guished It. Tho hero of this fire was the pel clog of Dr. and Mrs. K. O. Thayer, next door neighbors, who by his imi tated, barking aroused from tdcep Im owners, who thereupon quickly sum moned the fire department. The loss caused by this fire could not bo ascertained today. II, S. MAIL 8TAK Hlllirl. (Continued From Page One) JiS.mlKul northeast of liere.
