of his pocket, and thrusting it so close
to the back Of her head that her hair
blszsd with the fame of the shot, be
fred, and she pitched forward upon her
face, dead.

wife left him two weeks ago because he
had been blinking and went to live with
her parents in Ashley.

vrabse to Get Closer Than Two
6loeks-Meat Burned and Ruined.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 1.-TWO la
borers lost their lives, two others were
seriously Injured and a property loss
estimated at between $250,00O and
$3.50. 900 was caused by two eMplo-
sions, followed by fire in the packing
plant Of Morris & Co., at Kansas City,
kas., this morning.
Two Explosions.
The first explosion was of sewer gas,
resulting from a Waterman lighting
a match in the cold storage depart
ment. This was followed by a second
explosion of a quantity of amonia
near by, and a stubborn fire was start
ed, which took the department five
hours to get under control. For a
time the entire plant seemed doomed.
Dynamite Used.
The fire that started before day
light in the $2,25O,OOO packing house
plant of Morris & Co., in Kansas City,
Kas., had by 9 o'clock progressed SO
far that it was feared the entire
structure would be destroyed, dyna-
mite being used to stop the flames.
Two laborers were killed and another
was perhaps fatally injured.
Surrounded by Floods.
The plant Is in the flooded district
and was entirely surrounded by wa
ter. The fire started by ar explosion
in the chemical department Because
of the flood, the firemen were unable

the building with their apparatus, and
engines from the Missouri side were
called for, but could not get across
the flood district.
Sausage Factory First.
The sausage department was the
first to 60. Telephone communication
with the scene was impossible, the
wire service being destroyed by flood,
and it is difficult to get accurate in
formation. I,
Two and Quarter Millions.
When the building was completed
in 1905 it was valued at 1925 900, of
which the buildings represented ST.
245 900; machinery, 5000, and other
equipment, $4S2. 900. The daily slaugh.
tering capacity Of the plant was 1900
cattle, 1000 sheep and 5000 hogs.
Great Loss Of Meat.
January 20, 1908, fire damaged the
plant to $3.50, 900. The loss OF meat
by the present fire is enormous. The
coolers were packed to their capacity,
as the flood had interfered with rail
way traffic long before water shut
down the plant.
