Klro nt the Ctiilaby pocking plant In
South. Omaha yesterday caused i loan of not
less than 130,000, but the Insurance carried
on the building and Block amounts to G0,
000. The flro originated In the pepsin dry room
and was under good headway before an
alarm' whs sounded. Whon the whistles
blow for a Rcnnrat alarm tho packers and
tho Stock Yards company Bent fully
equipped dcpartinettts to assist tho city de
partment. Klflcen lines of hoso wora lsld as rapidly
as possible, hut thern was a lack of press
ure, nml to make matters worse tho Cudahy
pumping stRtlnn failed to work. This gavo
tho flro a cood headway.
Superintendent Colllus of tho Omaha
Water company secured additional pressure
by telephoning, and then tho pumping" en
Kino was'renalrod, so that there was from
nlnoty to 100 pounds of water pressure.
Ily bird work tho llrmcn kept tho flames
confined to tho pepsin department. This
building Is now n total loss, although tho
wnlln aro still standing. Tho Inflamablo
contents of (be building mado n great smoke
and ratified the Impression to prevail that
tho entlro Cudahy plant was on Arc.
.i 11 ii n lie I it I l,o.
In speaking of tho flro E. A. Cudahy said
that a largo stock of, extract of beef and
prepared pepsin was destroyed. Thero
would bo no financial loss to tho company,
nolther would there bo nny delay In flll-
lng orders now on band, ns stock would bo
secured from tho other Cudahy houses.
Tho building which was destroyod was
erected about fourteon or fifteen years ago
nnd whs rolnsurcd only a short tlmo ago.
Mr. Cudahy paid his compliments to Chief
Kttor, Assistant Chief Holland and tho
packing house firemen nnd Invited all to
supper with him when tho flro was oxtln
gutshed, nt 0 o'clock.
While considerable oxcltoment was caused
by tho blazo, tho fact that It was confined
to ono building shows that tho flro-flghtlng
force aid good work.
Hundreds of pcoplo gathered around tho
plant to vlow tho flro, but tho crowd In no
way Intcrfored with tbo work of tho de
partment.
About soventy-flvo peoplo will bo thrown
out of employment temporarily whllo a now
building is bolng erected.
