Mrs. Sylvia olds Of Gardena Meets
Horrible Fate While Assisting
In Making New Homo
for Family

Mrs. Sylvia Olds, wife of George Olds
of Gardena, was probably fatally
burned by the explosion of bottle of
stove polish at Gardena yesterday, and
now lies at the county hospital in a
critical condition.
The family moved to their pretty
little home at Gardena four days ago.
At the time of the accident Mrs. Olds
was trying to polish the stove with a
patent liquid polish.
As she removed the lid of the stove
the liquid caught fire and an explosion
followed, scattering the burning liquid
over the dress of the unfortunate
woman.
Screaming in agony Mrs Olds rushed
into the yard, her garments all afiame.
Her mother and 15-year-old sister ran
to her assistance and succeeded in
making the frantic woman roll upon
the ground while they smothered the
flames with rugs and blankets.
A physician was summoned and,
seeing the nature of the woman's in
juries, made arrangements to have her
taken to the county hospital last even
ing
Mrs. Olds was burned on the back
and limbs, the breast and face alone
escaping the flames.
1t was said at the hospital that Mrs.
Olds could not recover from the shock,
although she was resting comfortably
under the influence of opiates
There was recent case in this city
where a young girl was severely
burned while polishing stove with a
liquid polish.
Mr.. Olds was formerly employed at
Panama, where he contracted fever
and returned three months ago to this
country. He went to Gardena and sent
for his wife, her mother and sister,
who arrived four days ago from Okla
homa and were making a new home
for themselves in Gardena.
In the Olds family are two small
children, one baby 10 months old.

father, George Louis Martinez. who
was run over by a Garvanza car of the
Pacific Electric Railway company.
Following this terrible blow, Eddie,
who is about IL years Of age, despon-
dent over not being able to obtain
work, and not wishing to be a burden
to his heart-broken mother, left home.
saying nothing of his intentions to
anyone except one of his sisters, Mrs.
G. e. Politt, to whom he confided his
intention to look for employment some
where between here and San Francisco
and begged her not to mention it to
his mother, as he did not wish to add
to her worry.
Eddie left the next day and has not
been seen nor heard from by any of
the family, and it is feared that some
accident has befallen him.
Soon after Eddie Martinez left home
one of his brothers died.
Unable to stand the shock of this
last blow, the mother has steadily
broken in health and Is now near to
death.
The rest of the FANNY, knowing that
their mother has but a few days to
live, wish if possible to reach their
brother, who knows nothing of his
brothers death, nor the condition of
his dying mother.
