BY United Press Leased Speciei Wire
CHICAGO, Dec. 23--With forty-three
engine companies and half dozen
trucks still fighting the fire at the

five bodies had been recovered, the
last ones being those OF Peter Powers
Of truck company No. IL, and of an
unidentified fireman.
Both the beef house and the big tall
low house adjoining were still burn
ing fiercely and only the steady play
Of water on the ruins prevented the
fire from still being a real menace
to the whole stockyards.
II had been intended to take a roll
call of the fire companies this after
noon. but Acting Chief Seyferlich has
decided that the FIRE fighting will have
to take precedence over all other mat
ters. and that no attempt viii be made
TO clear up the list Of dead and miss
ing till the last spark had been ex.
tinguished in the smoldering piles
which still conceal the bodies Of the
victims.

men OF the 43 engine companies still
on duty al the stock yards are improv
