Amongthe Cadets playing there were five play- ers who are also members of 111an school. Their playing was a feature of the game.

May ll-The lhrd re- fluoryof Armour . (30., situated at the. corner of 4311 street and Center avenue, was destroyed by fire last night and during the fire a number of accidents occurred by which many people were injured. The number of dead and wounded is a matter of conjecture as yet. the estimates running of the way from five to twenty-five. 'l‘holflre drew a greatcrowd to the stock yards and it is estimated that at .lenst 10.000 people. were gathered around the burning building. 1 Several viaducts traversed the yards at a height of 20 feet from the ground and upon those points of vantage the people gathered. One of the viaducts ends near the lard refinery. and from the north side of this viaduct a hog run three hundred feet long extends to the plant of Armour & Co. While. this was densely crowded with people about 200 feet of it gave way. precipitating all who stood upon it to the ground. The 'lremen instantly abandoned all efforts to save the refinery. which was already doomed. and devoted themselves to the work of rescue. The viaducts are not great amount of wreckage from which to‘disentangie the victims. and all werb takenout within a few minute: A call was at once sent for the near— est police ambulance. but it was half an hour in *putting in an appearance. for the reason that when the horses were. attached to the ambulance they ran away. Finding it impossible to recap- ture their own horses. the men of the ambulance corps impressed, anothe1 team and started for the fire. By the lime they arrived most of the injured had been coiled to hospitals but a number of the more severely hurt was placed in an improvised hospital in the plant of the German—American Provis- ion Co. The lard reflnery'was a new building erected durihg‘the last two months. and the building exclusive of the machinery it contained was valued at 3170.000. "it was of brick and five stories high. The tire started on the fifth floor from an explosion of some vats of lard. Michael Maloy sustained injuries which will cause his death. while driving his engine to the fire. Maloy was urging his horses at the top speed when one of the reins broke. The horses plundged toward the crowd of people on the’slde of the street. Maloy seeing that somebody would be badly injured unless his team was checked. sprang from his seat to the back of one of the horses and grasp- ing the team by the bits turned them against a brick building. The horses struck the wall with terrlflc force and Malay was caught between the wall and one of the horses. He was fearful- ly crushed.
