Laundry and Garage
Oak Grove Seminary
DESTROYED by Fire

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Last Vassalboro, June 13-The
laundry and garage building at Oak
Grove seminary was destroyed yes
terday morning by fire discovered at
) o'clock. The loss was estimated at
about $1,000, half covered by insur-
anCe but the replacement value
would be much greater. This build
ing lies directly east of the main hall
and but a few feet away and absence
OF wind probably saved a much more
serious cOnfagration.
The origin of the blaze Is n mys-
terry as there was known TO be no
fire of any kind in the building at II
clock the night before. 1t is under
stood that some of the students we're
ironing in the building the day before
but all of the electric irons were ac-
counted for afterwards.
Several lines of hose were connect
% with the huge steel storage tank
in the top of the main building and
tho blaze was confined to the struc-
ture in which ii originated. The fire
Crept into the soft coal pile back of
the building and water was played
on this all the morning.
