.f|RfMfN BURIED
BY FALLING WALL
One Dead, One Missing and
Eight Seriously Hurt in
Chicago Blaze

CHICAGO. April 29.-one fireman
was killed, another is missing and
eight were seriously injured in fire
which destroyed elevator "B" of the
Illinois Central railroad here early to-
day.
The confa grafton, which was discov-
cred at the height of violent cleo
trio storm. completely consumed the
elevator and it's contents. The loss Is
estimated at sl.000.000.
The blaze, famed by gale which
swept in from the lake, spread TO the
Illinois Central docks and to train
sheds and freight cars, and it was with
great difficulty that the firemen pre-
vented the destruction of the lake
front yards of the railroad company.
Firemen of truck No. 3 were caught
under falling wall, which burst out
without warning.
Lieutenant Patrick McE1ligott was.
buried beneath the debris and instant
ly killed One fireman had an arm cut
off James Cooper is missing.
The fire. it is believed, was caused
by lightning.
For hours the electric storm, which
burst over the city shortly after mid
night created havoc. Frequent alarms
of fire kept the department busy in
several sections of the city, and 1t was
in the midst of the bombardment OF
lightning that the elevator was dis
covered on fire by a watchman. The
sky for miles around was brilliantly
illuminated by the blaze and huge
burning embers spread over the city.
driven by the high wind.
The elevator contained 100000 worth
of grain, including 350.000 bushels Of
wheat owned by Bartlett, Patten &
Co. leaders of the bull campaign in
the latter cereal The grain is fully
insured. The elevator is owned by the
Illinois Central and is insured in that
railroads private insurance fund.

TWO POLICEMEN RESCUE
HORSE FROM MUD FLATS
Animal Becomes Mired While
Taking Salt Water Bath

Vincent Garibaldfs solicitude for the
comfort of the faithful horse than
draws his vegetable wagon almost led
to the undoing of both the animal and
himself and incidentally gave Police
men stanton and Fitzpatrick an op-
portunity to display their courage and
skill with the lariat
While Garibaldi was giving his
horse his usual salt water bath at the
foot of Webster street yesterday he
sank in the mud flats and it was ap-
parent that it would be lost unless
immediate help could be found
Garibaldi was frantic and ran up and
down the shore wringing his hands
and yelling encouragement in three
languages to the rapidly disappearing
animal. Then the policemen appeared
and threw their lariats One loop
landed fairly over the horses head and
the other was soon attached to a fore
leg. Both were made fast to horse on
dry land and Garibaldf's steed was re-
stored to him. but not before the po-
licemen had been well plastered with

points to the year closing with De-
cember 1908 as the banner period In
the history OF that property, a large
yield combining with a high price OF
sugar. This appears in his report
and in his remarks to the stockhold-
ers he said the next years crop
would more than come up to the esti-

Manager Bulls report is very COM

is the test made OF the relative value
Of the Lahaina and Yellow Caledonia
cane varieties. The Yellow Caledo-
MIA proved much better able to with
stand the attacks of the leaf-hopper
and produced more cane to the acre
but less Of sugar to the acre.
In referring to crop conditions the
manager says:
We commenced grinding the crop
Of 1908 on Dec. 18th, 1907. and An
ished on September 9TH. 1908. The
crop was harvested from the follow
ing areas: Plant cane, 653.3 acres,
long ration 3273.6 acres. short RAJ
toon 557 acres; total, 44S3.9 acres.
Our estimate for the above was 81

tons sugar of 90 degrees) manufac-

over the estimate. The great excess
in yield over estimate is due mainly
to the exceptionally fine quality of
the cane juices. and to the fact that
the damage done to the cane by leaf
hopper was much less than had been
anticipated. The average yield from
plant and long ratoons was larger
than for several years past, and the
sucrose in cane considerably higher
than 1t had been during any preced-
ing season; only 6.76 tons OF cane
