ILLINOIS CENTRAL GRAIN ELEVA
TOR "B" Is BURNED.
FIREMAN KILLED; MANY HURT

Way Without Warning-Liehtning
Caused Fire-Many Alarms.

Chicago, April 29.-One fireman was
killed, another Is missing and eight
were seriously injured in fire which
destroyed elevator 3D." of the Illinois
Central railroad here early today. The
conflagration, which was discovered
at the height of violent electric
storm, completely consumed the ele-
vator and it's contents. The loss is
estimated at $1,000,Q0O.
The blaze, famed by a gale which
swept in from the lake, spread to the
Illinois Central docks, to train sheds,
and freight cars and it was with great
difficulty that the firemen checked the
fire from general spread over the
lake front yards of the railroad COM
pany.
The elevator its bins choked with
wheat, oats and corn, was a mass
of flames by the time the first fire
companies reached the scene.
Firemen Caught Under Walls.
Although heavy rain was falling
the building burned like tenderbox,
and Rremen of truck No. 8 were
caught under a falling wall which
burst out without warning.

buried beneath the debris and in
stantly killed.

iously injured. They were hurried to

One fireman had an arm cut off.
Fireman James Cooper is missing.
Lightning Caused the Fire.
The fire, it is believed, was caused
by lightning. For hours the electric
storm which burst over the city short
ly after midnight, created havoc.
Frequent alarms of fire kept the de-
partment busy in several sections of
the city and it was in the midst of
the bombardment of lightning that the
elevator was discovered on fire by a
Waterman.
Fire Chief Koran responded on the
first call and Immediately sounded a
general alarm.
Sky Red for Miles.
The sky for miles around was bril-
liantly illuminated by the blaze and
huge burning embers spread over the
city driven by the high wind. Many
times freight sheds of the Illinois
Central and Wisconsin Central were
on fire and to save them from destruc-
ton necessitated heroic and stub
born battle on the part of the fire
men.
The destroyed elevator was 1875 feet
high rs feet long and so feet wide.
Elevator "a" similar structure-
was also threatened but the fire tugs
operating fiom the river saved 1t
from destruction.
