Norris Packing Plant Sustains
Less Estimated at $35O,OOO.
1t Started With Explosion of
Sewer Gas and Ammonia.
WORKMENKILL
Buildings We're Entirely Sur
rounded by Flood Waters.
Smoke House and Large Amount
of Neat Destroyed.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 1.-two
laborers lost their lives, two others
were seriously injured and property
loss estimated at between a quarter
million dollars and $35O,0OO was
caused by two explosions followed by
a fire in the packing plant of Morris
& Co., at Riverside in Kansas City,
Kan. this morning. The force Of the
explosions, which were felt all over
both Kansas Citys, ruined the cold
storage building and the fire that fol-
lowed destroyed the smoke house,
with its contents
An explosion of sewer gas resulted
When watchman in one of the cold
storage departments lighted a match.
Th1s was followed by another and
much more serious explosion caused
by the igniting Of gas of ammonia
nearby and a stubborn fire soon start
ed. The Morris plant Is located near
the channel of the Kaw river and be-
ing In the center of the flooded district
is In swift current of water from 6
to feet deep. This condition made
the task of fighting the fire the most
difficult and it required five hours to
place the flames under control. For
a time the entire plant seemed DOOM
ed. Fire apparatus was transported
to the scene after much delay by
means of fiat cars. There were SO
men in the plant when the explosions
occurred. but all except four escaped.
Two Of these were instantly killed and
two others badly mangled. 1t is i'm
possible at this time to estimate the
loss on the meat destroyed, but that
on the building is placed at 100000.
The Nelson Morris plant is situated
near the riverside station in a bend
of the Kaw river. just north of the
stock yards, on a low lying piece of
ground. The plant was built three
years ago and was one of the most corl-
plete in the country. For three days
past or since the worst of the present
flood began there has been no killing
at the plant and operations in all its
departments were practically at a
standstill. Men had been kept at wor k
day and night, trying to save the meats
on hand and in pumping water from
the basement.
When the plant was completed Ja:1u-
airy Z, 1905, it was valued at $2,225, 900,
of which the building repre-
senteds $1,245,0OO, the machinery
$48S 900 and miscellaneous equipment
$482,000. The daily slaughtering capac-
ity of the plant was 1900 cattle, 1000
sheep and 5000 hogs. The refrigerating
capacity was 5000 cattle. 1900 sheep,
and 10000 hogs.
On January 29, 1908, fire damaged the
plant to the extent of $750,000. The loss
of meat in the present fire is enormous.
The coolers were packed to their capac-
ity as the flood had interfered with
railway traffic long before the water
shut down the plant.

Herman Skibbe Aged Ten Loses
His Life.
Canvas Boat Capsizes in Wards
Creek
CAUGHT In CURRENT.
One Occupant of the Boat Swims
Out.
The Other Unable to Swim Sinks
and Body Lost.

Herman Skibbe. aged 10 years. son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Skibbe. Ill Duane
street, Auburndale, was drowned at 9:30
this morning by a capsized boat in
Ward creek just above the street car
bridge where the line crosses to go to
the asylum. The rains last night had
deep and when Herman ventured out
into the current in canvas boat with
Forrest Buckalew, 10 years old, the
boat was turned over. The Buckalew
boy, after trying to save his friend,
swan ashore. Herman was drowned
in the current and his body had not
been recovered at 2 o'clock this after
noon. A wire fence was quickly stretch
ed across the creek at the street car
bridge in hopes of catching the body
as it drifted down stream. The creek
is going down very fast and it is ex-
pected that the body will be recovered
before night.
The boat that caused the tragedy is
a canvas craft and was made by the
Skibbe boys and their companions. 1t
was utterly unfit for navigation In the
strong current of the creek at the high
water stage this morning. 1t seems
that Ed Skibbe, age IL years; Willie
Pherson, age IL. in company with Her
man Skibbe and Forrest Buckalew
were all playing on the banks or the
creek and had been padding around
in the boat close to the bank In the
still water Forrest and Herman en-
tered the boat while the other boy
were on the bank. In some manner the
boat drifted out until it was caught py
the current. AS the craft was whlrieo
around by the stream the boys were
too frightened to trim their boat ano
