Another mystery which is bothering nre

an outsider in the northeast room of the
building on the lower floor about 2;S0 We'd

fined to that room b. the assistance of
the brick walls, which surrounded the
room on four sides. The damage is esti-

Neither the faculty nor the fire depart
men has any idea OF the cause Of the fire.
The room was used as clinic room and
contained chairs, tables. surgical cases aud
stalls for private examination of patients
In speaking OF the fire Clerk Beveridge Of
the college said:

fastened and although all the window
lights are broken out. you can see the
fasteners are all locked. l examined this
room in particular just before going home. "
Everything in the room was burned, the
chairs. tables and stalls and the rafters
on the ceiling. although the fire did not
break through to the room above. The
floor in the northeast corner Of the room
was burned through and the cmbers fell
through into the basement. where a small
amount Of coal was stored. The brick
walls which surrounded the room was
evidently all that stopped "A most serious
fire.
The fire will mot interfere with the
