FATE OF EXPLORER ANDRE According to Invest!, Dr. Ferlies the Entire Party CHICAQGO, July 5.~<By & fire which broke out in their plant at the stockyards to- night Swift dand Company suffered & loss which is estimated by the offcials of the company at $500,000. The fire was con- fined to ome bullding standing at the in- tersection of Packers' avenue and Brodd- WAy, This structure was four storied high, built of brick and was 300 feet squafe. The first floor was occupled by the Whole- ale meat market of the company; the second, by the shipping department, and the third and fourth, by the general offices of the company. The latter are #aid to Bave been the largest single offices in the United States, mote than 800 employes working on one of:the floors in & single room. The cause of the fire 8 not known, but it was discovered near the engite room. It spread so rapldly through the bullding that it was found impossible to save anything in the structure. The first arrivale of the fire department were unable to check the fire and repeated calls were sent in for assistance, but all the engines that the department could gather were not able to prevent the entire destruction of the building. Within hour atter the fire was discovered the building was ruined, although it contintied to blaze for a long time. The burned building adjoins portions of the plants-of Armour & Co. and Libby, Me- Nell & Libby, and for a time the fire de- partment bad a despérate fight to keep these bulldings from the flames. The wind was blowing strong from the southwest and at times the flames were touching #ide of Armour's bullding, but the firemen managed to confine the fire to the bullding in which it had broken out. All the books and office records of Swift and Company were in the burned building, but they are thought to be sate, as they were in fireproof vAults. W. J. McGonigle, the supérintendent of the plant, said tonight that the loss will aggregate fully $500,000. There were, he said, 3,925 beeves in the bullding and great quantities of green hides and tallow. The general supplies of the company were stored in the many markets and cellars and every- thing in and about the building Was de- stroyed. Superintendent McGonigle tele- phoned to Mr. Swift, who was at his coun- try home near Lake Geneva, that the loss would be total. The ineurance carried by the company will cover all losses. CHICAGO, July 5.—A special to the Rec- ord-Herald from Winnipeg says: Rev. Dr. Ferlies, a Church of England clergyman, arrived from York Factory, N. W. T., today and brings authentic information of the fAte of the explorer Andre and his com- panions. Two years ago, 1,800 miles north of York, arty of Bskimos under the lead- ership of “Old Huskie,”” saw the Andre bal- loon alight on a plain of snow in that vi- einity, which is about two miles north of Fort Churchill. Three men emerged from the balloon and some of “Huskie's” people approached them out of curlosity. As they did so one of Andre's companions fired off & gun. This s & signal to uncivilized natives for battle. It was regarded as a challenge and almost instantly the natives fell upon the three explorers and massacred them. Every- thing pertaining to the outfit was carrfed to the homes of the natives on the borders of the Arctic region. ““Old Huskie” himselt ave this tnformation to Ralph Alstine, agent for the Hudson Bay company, and the story, after being Investigated by Dr. Fer- les, was told by him tod He s there little room for doubt, separate reports have come of the strange implements which the northern natives have in their posses- slon, the telescope being particularly de- acribed. The Hudson Bay company has re- cedtly offered a reward for the recovery of any portion of the outfit belonging to Andre and though natives have gone on the search for them they have never returned, believ- ing, as Rev. Dr. Ferlies says, that they will 1o some way be punished. FEAR OF BEING ‘A" CRIPPLE This Causes Colonel Smythe, & Newa- paper Man of Denver, to Commit Suicide In Arkansas, Barn Near Osceola.
