Fire at Local Oil Refinery Is Controlled
Fire at the Harry Osborn Oil Refinery on South Hight Avenue broke out Thursday afternoon when a gate failed and allowed air to fuel the flames. A 10-foot iron pole helped cross the gate and ignite a blaze that rose 60 feet. The plant halted crude operations for about 80 days, with idle supply affecting gasoline output. Fire crews and refinery staff worked to contain the blaze as crude from nearby fields shifted to other suppliers.

Separately, George A. Irvin, director of extension at Colorado State College of Education, faced an unusual incident involving turpentine poring that caused swelling and speech difficulty.
