Chicago, Dec. 23.-Of the Is men
Killed in the stock yards fire yester-

including that of Fire Chief Koran
have been taken from the ruins. The
list of dead includes the chief, the as
sistant chief, two captains, five lieu
tenants, 10 city firemen, two private
firemen and a railroad employe.
Fifteen firemen were seriously in
jured. including two captains who
may die. Mayor Busse spent ten hours
personally directing the search for
the body of Chief Horan, who had
been lifelong friend.
The fire broke out afresh at s
O'Clock last night, after it had taxed
the strength of the fire department
for Is hours. Acting Chief Seyfer-
Itch sent a general call TO outlying
stations for fresh men. These, aided
by police reserves, continued the
fight on the fire and the search for
bodies Of the dead,
Insurance men said that the killing
of the chief and his men was not due
TO an ammonia tank explosion as first
supposed, but to the expansion of cold
air in the beef warehouse due to the
heat from the fire. This il is said.

and collapse The force behind the
wall was as strong as though an eX-
plosion had occurred
Apparently maddened by the death
of their chief, who was popular in the
department, firemen threw themselves
recklessly into the work of clearing
away the fallen wall. More than 80
men dropped from exhaustion and
were carried back from the intense
heat of the burning warehouse.
Despite the work of many engine
crews. the fire continued to burn
stubbornly all day and night. Thou!
sands of people thronged into the
stock yards and the police kept spec
tators back from the danger line with
difficulty.
Not since the days following the
Iroquos theatre tragedy, which like
the disaster of yesterday was holi'
daytime horror, have such pathetic
scenes attended fire in Chicago.
Mayor Busse, greatly affected by
the death of Chief Koran. called a
special meeting of the city council
A committee of 10 aldermen was Sc
lected to take charge OF relief work
for the families of the dead and &c
make funeral arrangements.
At the same time a meeting was
held at the Chicago Club at which
