Kansas City. Nov. 7.—Twenty-five
acres of cattle pens, one-third of the
local stockyards, had been destroyed
with a loss estimated at three quar-
ters of a million dollars by a fire
that began last night and still was
burning early this morning. Three
men had been injured by burns and
falling timbers. The fire was spread
ing rapidly and another section of
the v$rds was in danger.
While it was impossible then to de-
termine the full extent of the dam-
age it wa- apparent that the local
yards would be seriously crippled in
handling the unusually heavy ship
meats of stock expected here as the
result of the quarantine of the Chi-
cago yards.
While officials of the stockyards
company deny that any-cattle have
been burned to death, one report
asserts, that 4,000 bead were lest.
Only the sudden veering of the wind
saved the million dollar live stock
exchange building^within fifty feet
of which the fire started.
“It is the most disastrous fire in
the history of the stockyards." said
G. R. Collett, general manager of the
Kansas City stockyards company in
commenting upon it.
