Oil Fire At Gulf Refinery Kills Three Firemen
A massive refinery blaze at the Gulf of Co refinery near Philadelphia erupted Sunday, killing three firefighters and leaving at least three more missing while five others were seriously burned. The inferno, seen for miles, started when an 80 000 barrel storage tank ignited during oil transfer from a tanker, with explosions and a spreading smoke plume. Fire crews fought flames using chemical foam as sewage drainage failures contributed to the flare ups. Sepage and hazardous areas hindered entry as authorities searched for missing personnel.

Boys Testify They Saw Man Running Carrying a Gun
Three Animose boys testified Monday in Linn district court as Ronald Brewer faces murder charges for the slayings of Clarence Edwards and Patricia Edwards on January 29. The boys described a man running down a street toward Anatioga high school carrying a gun while Brewer allegedly fled toward the school. Jurors heard that Herbert Pennock, detained at the state reformatory in Anéinse, identified Brewer as the shooter to the police and claimed Edwards shielded a fight between Brewer and Pennock. The first witness, Danny Rudlang, 11, said he saw a bald man carrying a gun. Cross examination by defense focused on timing and associations.
