Thousands of Head of Cattle
Perish, and the Loss
Is Heavy.
STEERS LOOSE IN STREETS

By the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, October 49,
More than half of the Kansas City
stock yards, the second largest in the
country, was destroyed by fire early to
day. It was estimated after the fire
had been brought under control, after
raging for two hours, that several thou

Some estimates ran as high as ten thou.
sand.
There were $1,000 cattle in the yards
at the close of business yesterday, 1t
was said. and while it was possible to
liberate most of them, so rapidly did
the flames gain headway that many
were caught and burned.
Hundreds of cattle liberated from the
burning structures reached the down.
town sections of both Kansas City, Mo-,
and Kansas City, Kan.
1t was the third disastrous fire in the
history of the Kansas City stock yards.
Flames Spread Rapidly.
The blaze was discovered by two pa
trolmen in Kansas City, Kan. and be-
fore they could summon apparatus the
fire had become unmanageab1e. Fire
departments from both Kansas Cities
combated the flames. The ,-igin
the fire was undetermined. The other
two were caused by carelessly thrown
cigarette stubs.
By o'clock the fire had been extin-
guished after the flremen had been
fighting 1t with approximately 100
pieces OF fire apparatus and with dyna-
mite.
No definite estimates as to the loss
Will be made until insurance adJusters
have taken a census of the number of
cattle burned, since the fire was con-
fined to the cattle pens. which comprise
Fasteners Own Yards.
The thousands of cattle which were
liberated from the pens are being cor
rallied. Owners are finding dificulty in
Identifying their property, as a large
percentage of the stock is from farm
herds and carries no Identifying brands.
The Kansas City stock yards are owned
and controlled by corporation, many
OF the officers of which are eastern men.
and large amount Of the stock is held
in the east.
Throughout the morning rtf1emen and
sledge-hammer bearers, under direction
or Humane Society officers went about
the stockyards killing disabled animals.
Very few swine were burned. The
hog pens were reached by the flames
but most of the animals were liberated
Late in the morning the fire still smol-
dered IN scores OF places.
