A $4,000 LOSS.
Young Mems Dormitory at State I'm
versity Burns.

Nermillion. S. D., July AT 4
o'clock Tuesday morning West Han,
the young mems dormitory on the uni
NerSity campus was completely Quilted
by fire, and only the bare walls remain
today of what was the Oldest of the
state university buildings.
The blaze was undoubtedly the work
of an incendiary as there had been no
fire in West Hall since the university
closed for the summer vacation last
month. Until last night the dormitory
had been occupied, but the occupant,

occupied buildings in Nermillion dur-
ing the past three weeks. and a lirebug is
undoubtedly at work. to emove some
of the old Ian marks.
The state will not be n loser. how
ever. rs it carries S150.000 insurance on
the educational buildings. The burned
structure was probably worth 100000
and was built nearly Il quarter of Il
century ago. 1t can easily be repaired
for that sum.
Aside from the loss to insurance
companies, a number of individual
losses are reported. Many young men
who Went home for the summer vaca-
ton simply packed and stored their be-
longings in West Hall, including bed
ding. books. etc. Prof. Z. c. Perisho
was rooming at West Hall during the
summer and had moved his fine library
TO that place. Besides. all of his 10th
ing and belongings went up in smoke.
Clarence Newcomb had all his clothes
and other possessions in the building.
but was staying at East Hall ut night
to see hat no harm came to the young
ladies' dormitory. Today he has only
the clothes left that he wore yester-
day. Oliver Sweet of Memo lost n
