Fanned by a strong wind from the west, the fire which broke out In the Dexter park pavilion at the Union Stock Tarda this afternoon spread to the district between Halstead street and Union avenue and 40th street, de molishing business houses and residences. The worst sufferers among the residents were those living along Halstead street, between 43d and 44th streets. The busi ness houses and residences alike were all of them fram structures, and fur nished steady material for the flames, which raged from 3 o'clock until 3 o'clock, and then yielded to the vigorous work of the fire department. The total damage to the pavilion is estimated at more than JCO.OoO, but it may exceed that, as the exact number of horses burned in the fire Is not known and the calculation of the amount of feed stored in the pavilion is yet to be made. A number of persons were injured dur ing the fire, and one man, according to an employe of the stockyards, wus burned to death; Patrick Casey, employe of the stockyards, not serious; Maurice Molo ney, fireman, overcome by the smoke and heat, will recover; W. P. Shea ha n, broken leg; Henry Walsh, employe of the stockyards, slightly burned; World's Donahue, fireman, injured by a failing Umber, will recover. The pavilion contained 500 horses, and It was with the greatest difficulty that they were rescued. Several were burned to death. FOOD SCARCE IN ALASKA. 8t. Michaels. September 16.
