Sidney, Olson Near Death As
',' Result of Fire at Medford
' Cleaners Branch Alarm
for Second Fire Put in By
"Dog. . i:tiHm.
- .In two unuHual fires, one yesterday
afternoon with a property I ohm of
IS 000 In which Hllny OIhoii. well
known Medford young man und one
of tho piopr!jtorii of the Medfurd
Clean em eHtubliHhuient, was no badly
burned that he lies In a local hospital
In a very neriouH condition; and the
alarm for the other fire at a Ht
Tenth street houwe at 3 a. m. today
was given by a neighbor's pot dog.
i The firm fire. 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.

The cattle were owned by K. 11.

Mr. Day called for the county vet

state veterinarian who arrived Thurs
day evening nnd dissecting tho ani

tain dynamite in a raw form, the
name of the company being plainly
visible on the wrappers around the
powder.
Being thoroughly convinced that
this caused tho animals' death. Dr.
Lytle prepared to leave for Kalem
with the Intentions of first consult

stofk can get it. .
The punishment for such negli

other dealing with poisoning ani

ease, that the guilty one should pay
the damages.
