DESTRUCTION OF THE CHEMICAL
BUILDING RESULTS FROM
EARLY EVENING FIRE.
$4,000 LOSS SUSTAINED
esats Chemist Loses Library and Pres.
idsnt Worst sustains Injuries
States Loss Two. Thirds
Insured.

Fargo.-1n confagTation which for
a time threatened the entire group Of
buildings on the campus at the state
agricultural college, the chemistry
building-headquarte of Prof. E. f.
Ladd. dean Of the department of chem
istry and state pure food commissioner
was burned to the ground during the
early hours Of the evening before
Christmas. The loss sustained by the
destruction Of the building aggregates
$4,000 with additional allowance for
apparatus, fixtures and library amount
ting to $4,000 more-a total Of $4,000
loss to the state, Of which about two
thirds is covered by insurance.
The origin Of the fire is in a.measure
problematical, though the general be-
lief Is that it was occasioned by ex-
plosions Of some Of the chemicals
stored in the building-probably gas
oline or alcohol. The theory of the
origin by explosion is considered most
credible from the fact that while the
fire was not discovered until about
seven o'clock, it had, within a few
minutes after that time, reached such
proportions as to render the saving
of the building practically out of the
question.
A long run was made by the Fargo
hre department, and by the time of
Its arrival it was deemed wise to con-
centrate practically all efforts to the
saving of the other buildings, of which
the magnificent engineering structure
and the college library were practically
endangered. In the work of saving the
latter building President Worst sus-
tanned painful injuries from the s,prain-
Ing of an ankle, as he slipped upon
the icy roof, from which he was sweep
ing away the falling cinders.
Prof. E. F. Ladd, the dean Of the
chemical department, is an individual
loser to the amount of some $500 by the
destruction Of valued personal proper
ty consisting chiefly Of books. It is
believed the permanent records of the
department have been preserved intact
In tn vault of the burned building.
Hundreds of experimental tests in the
process of completion, are, of course,
irrevocably destroyed with the chem
teal apparatus of the department.
1t Is announced that new apparatus
has already been ordered, and will be
here in time so that all instruction
work of the department can proceed as
usual at the reopening Of the school
on January 8.
