most OF the guards and attendants were
sent to the various wards to get the patients
out. None Of the violently insane or Grim
inals was In the threatened building, but
the alarm Of FIRE caused even those whose
minds were but slightly unbalanced to be-
come frantic with terror. Nearly all the
patients were in the dormitories, which
made the task Of getting them out Of the
building much easier, as they could be
marshaled as at the regular FIRE drill.
In some Of the wards furthest from the
FIRE a few patients who could be trusted
were left. The others we're marched from
the building. Although they we're greatly
frightened, a few soothing words from the
guards paci1ed them and there was little
trouble until all we're assembled in the
yard. There they again became panic
stricken and many tried to break through
the thin line Of guards. TIT women seemed
more frightened than the men and several
times they led dashes for freedom.
Had there been any concerted movement
the whole $500 would have escaped. Twenty
or thirty would make a sudden run toward
the guards and the latter would have hard
work getting them back in the crowd with
the others. This would work the others up
to a frenzy and another group would charge
toward another part Of the line, only to be
driven back.
Men and M used their fists freely
and several OF the guards were badly
bruised by the struggling mob. AS far as
could be learned, however, none escaped.
When the flames were extinguished the
patients were led back to their dormitories
but for hours they could not be quleted.
The financial loss was small.

ris & Co., packers. from fixing the price Of
meats or from working in conjunction with
the Beef trust, so-called.
The order was sought because the attor-
ney general doubted whether the quo war
ranto proceedings instituted last night at
Jefferson City against other packers could
be maintained against a co-partnership,
such as the Nelson Morris company.
The order states that Nelson Morris &
Co. is enjoined until further orders of the
court from becoming a member or party to
any agreement, confederation, combination,
pool or understanding with the Armour
Packing company, the Hammond Packing
company, the Cudahy Packing company,
Armour & Co., Swift and Company. Henry

to fix and maintain In Kansas City, st.
Joseph or elsewhere in the state Of Mis-
souri, the price to be paid by retail butchers
or dealers In meats. or consumers Of lard
and meats of any kind.
The order asks that the packers be re-
strained from the various over-receipts as
charged in the bill filed and says:
"At the several stock yards and open
and competitive markets in Chicago,
Omaha, Sioux City, st. Joseph, Mo-, Kansas
City, East ST. Louis, st. Paul and any other
places in. the United States where they Gus
tomarily purchase live stock coming to
those markets"
The attorneys for the packers offered no
objection to the filing of the petition for a
temporary injunction. Judge Henry will
fix the day for the hearing some lime this
week.
