moniintr and as a result the great
plant of the Jacob Dold Packing
Company in the northern part of
the city lies practically in rums.
.Approximately the loss on the
plant is a half million dollars
Three hundred and hfty men are
thrown out of employment and for
many months the company will
suffer serious financial loss because
of its inability to fill the orders ia
a trade which had assumed im-
mense proportions.
The fire started in some part of
lard packing house and how long
it smouldered before it forced out
the windows of the building and
was discovered by the employes
of the plant will ever be known
The fire was first discovered by
night engineer Frank MidJIeton
just after he had blown the five
o'clock whistle. Mr. Middleton
ha 1 leen requested to assist one
of the early men in the ice plant
as soon as he blcwod the whistle
and as he sepped out into the area
between the engine room and cot)!
ing plant he saw thick black
-moke rolling out of one of the
upper window of the lard room.
The smouldering fires were soon
roaring and by the time the first
help arrived from the outside
there was a good pressure on the
pumps and half dreaaed crowd of
volunteers began to fight the tin v.
In the ercitment every one
seemed to forget the importance
of sending in a fire alarm until
someone called up the residence of
Superintendent Dulany of the stock
yards notifying him of the fire.
When the fireman arrived col
umns of black smoke fire and
binders were rolling several hun-
dred feet high and floating toward
the Cudahy plant to the north.
A stiff breeze from the south
threatened to carry the flames a-
cross the intervening space to de-
stroy the Cudahy plant.
Gradually the fire spread the
burning grease of the meats spred-
ing the flames. The heat was in-
tense and the fireman were at a
great disadvantage.
