Paul Ogrisek, who resides in the
Dawson block on North Riverside
street was badly burned yesterday
morning while thawing out some
pipes i'm u store near the corner Of
Walnut and Dikemm streets. While
Ogrisek was working near his gaso-
line torch, it suddenly exploded and
frightfully burned the plumber about
the face. The torch went up with
SO much force that it knocked out Il
large pane of glass. Ogrisek's cloth
ing caught fire, but 1t was extinguish-
ed before it had time to get going
much. Ogrisk was attended by DR.
Carl Mueller. The injured mans face
is swathed in bandages to-day, and
the only parts visible are his eyes and
mouth. If it We're not for pair
of glasses 0grisek's eyes would UNI
doubtedly have been fatally burned.
