COFFEYVILLE, Kan. (AP) — A Texas company says four workers at a southeast Kansas oil refinery were burned in an early morning fire in its isomerization unit.

CVR Refining says the fire at its Coffeyville refinery was reported at 12:30 a.m. Tuesday and extinguished by 1:18 a.m. The company says initial reports indicate there was no impact to the surrounding community.

CVR isn’t naming the employees who were hurt and transported to an area hospital, but says it is providing assistance to the workers and their families.

The company is based in Sugar Land, Texas. Its Coffeyville refinery has a rated capacity of 115,000 barrels per day.

DETROIT (AP) — Suzuki is recalling nearly 26,000 midsize cars in the U.S. because the daytime running light modules can overheat and could cause a fire.

The recall covers the Verona from the 2004-2006 model years. It’s an expansion of an earlier recall of the Forenza and Reno.

All the cars were made by General Motors in Korea. Suzuki says in documents filed Tuesday with government safety regulators that a transistor in the modules can overheat in the instrument panel. That could melt the module, which could cause a fire. Suzuki says there were no fires reported in Verona models.

Dealers will replace the modules for free. Owners will be notified later.

American Suzuki Motor Corp. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November of 2012 and stopped selling automobiles in the U.S.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — An endangered gazelle at the Topeka Zoo is dead after beating its head against a gate until it broke its neck.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports a zoo visitor saw the 5-year-old Addra gazelle running from corner to corner before charging the gate three times.

Zoo staff members ran to the scene but the gazelle, Raul, was already dead.

Zoo staffers described the animal’s behavior as puzzling. The city says in a news release the zoo will run a necropsy and pathology evaluation to learn what might have caused the incident.

The Addra gazelle is a critically endangered species, with only 500 left in the wild.

It’s the second rare gazelle to die at the zoo, where a 3-year-old Addra died of a sudden illness in December 2012.

KANSAS CITY (AP) – Kansas City police say a weekend explosion is the first time they’ve encountered such a blast caused by the powerful hallucinogenic drug PCP.

The Kansas City officers were called to a home just after 5 p.m. Saturday after a witness reported an explosion.

Firefighters forced open the locked front door and officers went to a third-floor apartment where they walked through a “cloudy mist” to get to an occupant.

The 28-year-old man told police he was “just smoking my wet” when it blew up. “Wet” is slang for PCP.

The man was booked into jail but later released while the investigation continues.

Most PCP found in Kansas City is made in California. House explosions there and in Atlanta in the last year were attributed to PCP labs.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Republican incumbent Derek Schmidt enjoys a huge fundraising advantage over his Democratic challenger in the Kansas attorney general’s race.

A finance report filed Monday by Schmidt’s re-election campaign shows that he raised about $43,000 in cash contributions from January through July 24.

But Schmidt began the year with more than $374,000, and even after he spent about $50,000 on his campaign, he still had $367,000 in cash on hand.

Democrat and Topeka attorney A.J. Kotich started his campaign in January with nothing and raised about $12,100. He spent less than $7,800 during the period and ended with about $4,300 in cash.

Schmidt is seeking a second, four-year term. Neither he nor Kotich has an opponent in the state’s Aug. 5 primary.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The University of Kansas has been added to a list of colleges and universities under investigation for how they handled investigations into sexual assaults.

The Lawrence Journal-World reports 71 schools, including Washburn University, have been named by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights as part of a probe into sexual violence against women on campus.

University of Kansas officials issued a statement Monday saying the school doesn’t tolerate sexual assault and will assist in the federal review.

The list doesn’t include specific information about what case got a school included, and the university declined to provide details.

A White House task force said earlier this year that nationally 1 in 5 female students is assaulted.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A 36-year-old Jefferson City man faces an August court date on suspicion of assaulting a 15-year-old baseball umpire at the Show-Me State Games in Columbia.

The Columbia Daily Tribune  reports Curtis Howell was arrested Saturday night at Cosmo Park on suspicion of misdemeanor third-degree assault. He was released on a summons that requires him to appear at a future court hearing.

Howell’s father said Monday the altercation began after the teen threw an object at Curtis Howell’s car when he questioned the youth’s umpiring skills. Mike Howell said his son acted in self-defense.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A central Missouri judge has sentenced a man to life in prison for the 2013 shooting death of a 17-year-old.

The Columbia Daily Tribune reports a Boone County judge sentenced 20-year-old Nicholas Thomas on Monday. He was also sentenced to 20 years for armed criminal action and isn’t eligible for parole.

Thomas’ attorney had filed for acquittal and a new trial. He said the judge admitted hearsay as evidence.

The judge rejected the motion when he sentenced Thomas.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The return of hot, dry conditions to Kansas has put stress on farm crops in many parts of the state.

The National Agricultural Statistics Service says in its late crop report that temperatures averaged 2 to 6 degrees above normal in most of Kansas last week, with some areas seeing triple-digit highs.

The agency rated 10 percent of the state’s corn crop in poor to very poor condition. About 31 percent is listed as fair, 44 percent as good and 15 percent excellent.

Most of the sorghum, soybean and sunflower crops are faring somewhat better than corn.

About 24 percent of the soybeans are setting pods, and 14 percent of the sorghum has headed.

Stock water supplies are adequate to surplus across 78 percent of Kansas.

NEW YORK (AP) — Congress has passed a bill that makes it legal to “unlock” cellphones so the devices can —at least in some instances— be used on other carriers.

The law, which President Obama says he looks forward to signing, undoes a move by the Librarian of Congress in 2012. That made it a copyright violation to unlock a phone without the carrier’s permission.

The law passed Friday by the House of Representatives makes it legal to unlock phones for personal use at least until the Librarian’s next round of rulemaking, next year. The measure was passed earlier by the Senate.

Unlocking typically involves entering codes on the phone. In more difficult cases, the phone needs to be hooked up to a computer to have new software installed.
