BIG CODAHY ICE
, . PLANT IN RUINS
Burns to the Ground Early Sunday,
with a Loss of Over Hun
dred Thousand.
TO BE REBUILT AT ONCE
Fire of unknown origin starting
about 2:46 o'clock Sunday morning,
completely destroyed the . new
Cudahy Ice house In Ralston, sus
taining a loss of ilOO.OdO' to. the
Cudahy .Packing company,-; The' loss
wis partlly covered by Insurance.
A desperate fight was 'made by
members; o the. South Side batalllon
of . the Oman fire department un
der Batalllon Chief Coyle .to 'check
the flames," bat poor water pressure
coupled with the fact that the fire
had gained such headway ..when the
department men arrived shortly after
8 o'clock, that It was Impossible to
approach within 100 feet of the blaz
ing building, the heat being so In
tense, made rescue Impossible.
The building was burned to the ground
and all that was saved was a small tower
bouse in which tha machinery for the
ice plant waa mounted, and the work
men's bunkhouse, 240 feet to the west.
The building eight stores high wss a
vertlble furnace from S o'clock yester
day morning until T o'clock. Eight box
cars sidetracked near the building were
burned to" ashes. The ice stored in the
houses, amounting to S0.0OO tons was ren
dered totally useless. . The beat was so
Intsnse that paint on residences within
a radius of thro blocks around the build
ing peeled off. In many cases widow
pains war also broken. ,
First discovery of the flro was made
by Sheriff Hutter of Sarpy county, who
waa passing by and noticed the blase lu
the north end where it had originated.
Immediately notifying Art Moran, keeper
of the buildings for the Cudahy company,
the alarm was spread' to Omaha and the
South Side . ftre department apparatus
ordered out. The blase had gained too
much headway and could not bo checked.
AH efforts of tho firemen was directed
to saving nearby buildings.
Superintendent Patrick Sheehy of the
Omaha Cudahy packing plant waa on the
scene at S o'clock a few minutes after
tho first report had been circulated. Ac
companied by his son he drove by auto
mobile through tho misty rain at tho
firs call.

Tha destruction of the ice house was. tho
third of Its kind that has occurred within
tho last fifteen years. In ISOt, fourteen
years ago, tho old ice house was struck
by lightening , and completely burned.
Two years ago when the Omaha tornado
swept Ralston and Omaha, a new loo
house, then only recently erected, was
totally demolished, tho company sustain
ing a heavy loss. -
Immediately after - the destruction of
WIS In tho tornado tho Cudahy firm
erected the most modern ice house In the
west equipped with tho latest of ma
chinery and equipment. The building had
eight partitions and was valued at S7S.0u0.
The ice that was rendered useless was
valued at $36.0u0. a total loss. Tho total
loss will approximate moro than IIOO.OOO
according to the estimate given out by
Superintendent Sheehy yesterdsy.
But last week tho lease now held by
th Cudahy Packing company to the ice
of Seymour lake was renewed. Tho new
lease will not expire untU IK. Besides
this tho firm holds an option on the
ground which will not expire before three
years.
It is expected that building operations
