The prize winning team belonging to Swift & Company was rescued and 100 other horses met death Saturday night when the walls of the north end of the stables at forty-first and Laflin streets collapsed. There were 250 horses in the stables. Edward F. Swift and his brother, Chas. H. Swift, were among the first on the scene. They were greatly concerned over the safety of their famous dray team. The building was destroyed, the damage being estimated at $50,000. At first it was thought the accident was due to an explosion of a steam pipe, but the fire department found no fire, and later Edward Swift denied the explosion theory.-Tribune.
