SEVERAL OFFICERS IN LIST Victims Include Marshal Horan, ‘A% sistant Chief Burroughs and Lieu- tenant Fitzgerald—Disaster Caused by Falling of Canopy While Hun- dreds of Firemen Were Fighting Serious Blaze at Stock Yards. Chicago, Dec. 23.—Fire Marshal James Horan and twenty-eight of his firemen were killed in a fire which caused $1,250,000 damage to the ware: house and stock of Morris & Co., pack ers, and for hours threatened the whole stock yards district, The injured will number more than fifty, listing being difficult because they were rushed in ambulances and private automobiles to hospitals and |- homes in many sections of the city. After nine hours’ work the fire had been hedged in and its spread had been checked, but efforts to save any of the buildings attacked by the flames were unavailing. Horaa and his men were standing under a projecting canopy beside Mor- ris & Co.’s beef house when the wall and canopy fell upon them, burying burning, blowing debris and red hot bricks. Seven bodies have been re- covered. The buildings destroyed include two warehouses full of dressed meat, hemp, etc., a tallew house and other struc- tures. The fire started from the explosion of an ammcnia pipe at 4 a. m. How the Men Met Death. Several hours after the fire started a wooden canopy fell from the beef house of Morris & Co., carrying with it tons of red hot bricks and debris upon two companies of firemen and the chief, crushing them to death and encasing their bodies in a veritable furnace, into which their comrades were unable to dig for several hours, so that practically all those who were not killed outright when the walls fell were roasted to death before help could come to them. Assistant Chief William Burroughs and Lieutenant Fitzgerald were with the marshal under the fatal caunopy when it fell atd went down to their || death with Marshal Horan. Other firemen, witnesses of the dis- aster which met their chief, for a brief time deserted the other’ parts of the blazing structure and, rushing to the pyre, scught with their bare hands to drag apart the glowing bricks and debris to bring the body of their chief and his ill fated comrades to what safety remained for them. Finding this a vain effort they obeyed again the direction of AssiStant Marshal Seyferlich and redoubled their efforts to shut in the spreading area of de- struction. * Others Have Narrow Escape. An explosion occurred on the top floor of warehouse No. 6 and the roof was blown into the air. Flames shot skyward and half a dozen companies of firemen who had stationed them- selves on the further end/of the roof narrowly escaped being struck by fly- ing debris. They managed to clamber down fire escapes in time to escape. The victims of the disaster follow: JAMES HORAN, fire marshal. WILLIAM J. BURROUGHS, assist- ant marshal. - PATRICK E.
