The Oshkosh High School was de-
stroyed by fire on recent morning. The
loss is $4,000; insurance, $4,000. The
building was erected in 1865 and had Il
capacity of 500 pupils. 1t contained a
fine chemical laboratory, a manual train
ing department. and Il cooking school.
The origin of the fire is not clearly ascer-
tanned. When the fire department ar
rived the interior of the building was
thick with smoke. The fire seemed to
have started near the center of the base
ment and the dry woodwork of the in
terror, after thirty-three years of seal
soning, burned furiously. The heavy
wooden and tin covered cornices and the
main portion Of the tower, which was l3l
feet high from foundation to weather
vane, remained in position for some time,
and as it burned a great crowd of people
watched the spectacle. The brick walls
remained standing.
