KANSAS CITY, March 25.-At $50
o'clock fire broke out in the hog build
ing of ths Reid Packing company's
plant at Kansas and Railroad avenues,
Kansas City, Kan, and almost the en-
tire group of buildings was entirely de-

900. The following buildings were de-
stroyed: The 8-story hog building, the
storage building, four stories high, five
icehouses, the enginehouse and the
beefhouse. When the fire was discov-
cred a watchman telephoned for the
Kansas City (Kan.) fire department and
q general alarm was sounded. The
flames spread over the top floor of the
hog building
with Incredible Rapidity,
the flames feeding on the meats and
oils. Before the firemen had laid a
line of hose the roof had fallen in.
The flames from the hog building COM
municated with the enginehouse on the
south and soon wrecked the boilers and
destroyed the effectiveness of the com
pany's fire apparatus. A disastrous ex'
plosion was narrowly averted by the
firemen who, at the risk OF life and
limb, rolled 20 barrels of gasoline from
the buildings. From the engine build
ing the fire spread to five l-story ice
houses, each 20Ox125 feet. These were
rapidly devoured by the flames and ths
