Cincinnati, Dec. s22.-Fire IN the fac
tory district here resulted in the death
of two persons, the injuring of several
tiremen and property loss estimated
at 100000. One of the dead is Fire
man Robert D. Grear, who was crushed
beneath falling wall. The other is
Walter Morris, eighteen years old,
who was fatally hurt by falling troll
ley pole. Buildings comprising an en-
tire block were consumed. i
The block from Ninth and Syca-
more streets to Broadway was swept
by the flames. The firms burned out
are:
Krippendorf & O'Neal Shoe COM
pany, TaylorPoole Leather company,
Cahill Shoe company, Twinlock COM
pany, Sycamore Street Stable COM
pany's barn, Griess-Pfeiger Leather
company, Victor Safe and Lock COM
pany, warehouse of the A. &, J. Nurre
company, picture frames and holdings;
E. O. Duncan paper box factory and
the Wildberg box factory.
The fire, it is believed, started in
the engine room of the plant of the
Krippendorf & O'Neal company. Hard
ly had the fire been discovered when
the flames leaped from almost every
window from cellar to roof
Fight to Save Adjoining Property.
When the fire apparatus arrived it
was seen that the shoe factory was
doomed and the firemen turned to the
work of trying to save adjoining
buildings. They practically surround
ed the fire with water, but it had too
great start and, aided by the wind,
it continued to spread from building
to building. !
While the fire was at it's height
wall of the Krippendorf building fell.
and buried Robert Grear. His body
was recovered. Four other fremen,
HUMPHREYS, Geiger, Morgan and Cap,
tain FINLEY, were also caught by the
falling wall and all severely injured,
Shortly afterwards the list of in
jured fremen was added to by the
names of Luhn and Hail.. Luhn was
at work in a stable in the rear of
the Griess-Pfeiger company when he
stepped into a hatchway and fell two
stories, breaking several ribs and suf'
fering other injuries.
Hardly had these two men been
taken to the hospital when an iron
electric light pole, 200 feet from the
apparent danger zone of the fire, top
pied over and crushed Morris. He
died on the way to the hospital
