the auditorium gave notice that some
thing was wrong. An investigation
followed and fierce fire was discov-
cred in the library above The fire had
started from an electric light wire
and was under full headway be-
fore It was discovered. Fortunately
the entire audience was able to get
out safely and no one was hurt to any
extent The whole of the east wing
and central portion of the building
were soon a maSs of ruins though the
main wall still stood, but the fire was
gradually eating its way into the new
west wing and all hopes were given up
of saving any portion of the main
building. Attention was then turned
toward saving the contents.

cartridges were stored in the basement
and when these began to 60 off there
was a stampede
The famous DR.. Laws elephant is
among the things rescued and now re-
poses on the snow.
The central portion of the building,
know as the main building, was built
in 1915. while the two magnificen.
wings east and west were erected IN
1884 at a cost of 500. 600.
Although the main university build
ing is a mass of ruins, the school will
go on The governor and members OF
the board of curators have been tele-
graphed for.
