WALLS FELL ON THEM
One Hundred Valuable Animals Met
Death in the Collapse of the
Stables Last
Night.

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-Draft horses
valued at between 100000 and s40,.
600 We're either killed or were in
lured so badly that they will have to
be shot as the result of the explosion
last night of fourteen-inch steam
pipe which ran beside a barn in the
Union Stockyards. The barn was
used by Swift & Co, and Libby, Nc
Neil & Libby for the stabling of draft
horses. The animals were valued at
between $500 and $40O apiece. About
100 of them were victims of the acci.
dent
An alarm of fire called several
companies to the scene and great diff
ficulty was experienced by the firemen
in their attempts to get at the ami
mails and to relieve the injured ones
from pain. Their cries of distress
worked almost as diligently as if they
were rescuing human beings who had
been buried under the debn~.
No persons were injured, according
to a report from Swift & Co. II was
said that all the hostlers that were
occupied in the barn in the daytime
had left at $3.50 o'clock. A watchman
was in the neighborhood. but he was
not near enough to be injured by the
explosion
Nobody seemed to be able to ac-
count for the explosion, The steam
pipe extended between two buildings
from the second stories and ran close
to the second story of the barn. The
buildings between which the pipe ex
tended were the boiler-house and the
No. 8 plant of Swift & Co.
The barn was 125 by $50 feet, built
of brick and two stories high Two
i hundred and ninety horses were OF
the second story the first being occu
! pied with wagons. Seventy-five fee
of the north section of the building
was blown out
4 An early fear that men might bt
buried in the ruins caused the create
haste on the part of the firemen from
the first This fear was declared tt
he unfounded.
