The fire apparently started from | a spark from the chimney, but all of the south-western part of the | roof was blazing when it was notie- ed, and burning shingles and sparks were flying through the air towards the other buildings on the college property. The college fire depart ment, composed of pupils, under the leadership of Prof. F. Lease, work- ed splendidly, but were hampered by a lack of water pressure, and & call was sent to the city firement.

Dense smoke created by hurning mattresses for. | a time prevented 'the fire fighters from getting at the blaze from the inside, until firement with 'gas masks succeeded in throwing them out the windows of the attic. jh Considerable damage was ' also done to the third floor of the build~ ing by water and chemicals soaking through onto the furniture, The building is a large wooden structure with an outside coating of stucco, and is about 20 years old, and when the fire was at its height fears were entertained that it would be des- troyed. ! There are 31 boys resident in the part of the building affected by the fire. About 15 girls are resident in the separate east wing of the dor~ mitory building, but fhis wing was not damaged in any way. : The loss was estimated by Prof. C. W. Degerrin, headmaster of .the college, at $2,000. Prof. Degerrin told The Times that work had ale ready been started on a new water system for. the college buildings, which would provide sufficient pres. sure to give fire protection to the upper floors at all times.
