1 DIES, 1 HURT, AS BLAZE GUTS HOTEL AT OSAGE
Osage – James Lancaster, 37, died early Sunday of burns suffered in a fire which gutted the 3-story Sullivan Hotel Saturday with a loss estimated at $15,000.
Lancaster, who had been crippled since childhood by infantile paralysis was one of 2 guests badly burned in the blaze in which 21 other persons filed out in orderly fashion.
William Buening, 73, who suffered severe burns, was reported holding his own at the hospital here. Burning’s burns were described as of the third degree. He was reported slightly improved Monday morning and was taken by ambulance to a hospital at Iowa City.
Zack Cook, Des Moines, assistant State Fire Marshall, reported after an investigation that the fire started in the third floor room of J. D. Barr, who was not in his room at the time of the fire. The fire started apparently, Cook said, either from a smoldering cigarette or a short in a radio.
