Chicago, Oct. 23. — Five men are
known to have lost their lives in a fire
which tonight partly destroyed the
plant of the Chicago branch of tiie
Glucose sugar refining company, and
the list of dead will certainly be much
greater than five, and may reach as
high as 30. The estimates run al! the
way from that number down to 10.
Only one of the five men whose bodies
have lieen r®-over®i lias been identi
fied.
The fire broke out with an explosion
in the drying house, which is seven
stories in height, and stands close to
the main building of the plant, which
is 14 stories high,. A third structure
is four stories high. The two smaller
buildings were destroy«! and tiie larger
building was badly damaged. The fire
spread after the explosion with such
rapidity that it was impossible for the
men in the upper stories of tiie drying
house to make their eseajie, and it is
the number of men believed to have
lieen at work on the seventh floor that
causes tiie uncertainty in tiie list of
dead. Some of the employes who mad**
their escajie say that there were 20 or
30 ami others say that there were not
more than 10 at work when tiie tire
broke out. Whatever tiie number, all
are dea<l. Four men lea|>®l from the
upper floors ami all are dead. The fifth
in tiie list is an electrician, who is
known to have entered the building,
