KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS FIRE
During High Wind Two Sheep
Barns Were Destroyed Causing
Loss of $4,000.

Kansas City, Missouri.-Fire which
started either from spontaneous com
bustion or spark from the fertilizing
plant near the west end of the Allen
viaduct, famed by high wind that
made it hard to combat, destroyed
two sheep barns, of the Kansas City
Livestock Yards company, causing a
loss estimated at $4,000.
Between 900 and 400 sheep were
burned. About 300 broke loose and
were for a time thought to have per-
ished in the fire. Several railroad
cars were destroyed.
The sheep barns covered several
acres in the heart of the stockyards
and several other buildings were
threatened by reason of the high
wind, but the heroic efforts OF the
firemen got the blaze under control in
about two hours.

Justice Brown Received Scores by

of Promise Trial.

Supreme Court Justice Charles
Brown of Buffalo. who is sitting in
the Supreme court of New York City
by designation of the Appellate devi-
sion is as much of a baseball en-

man. The justice was hearing a
breach of promise trial during the
progress of the worlds series game in
Philadelphia
Justice Brown was SO interested in
the outcome that he asked the clerk
Of the court to find way to keep him
informed of how the game was going.
The clerk conferred with reporters in
the courtroom, and they took turns
getting the returns by innings.
The result was that reporter was
either going out or coming in to the
court every few minutes during the
trial, and the presiding Judge knew
the way the teams stood at the end
of every inning.
