Institute HIT BY FIRE

Prentiss, Miss, Mar. 2-Prentiss
Institute, historic educational
Institution, for Negro students was
hit by a fire early Sunday night
which completely destroyed the
only mems dormitory on the
campus.
The fire which started under the
stairway in the mems dormitory
was discovered about $50 P. M.
and quickly spread beyond the eff
forts of the limited available fire
fighting equipment. Only one of
the SO residents were able to save
his clothing.
School authorities said the 25-
year-old structure was built at
cost Of some Sac, 900 but estimated
that it will take about 100000 to
replace the structure at present
prices.
At least Is residents of the DOR
mitory were in the two-story frame
building when the fire was dis
covered. Students on the second
floor leaped out Of the windows
to safety, but none were reported
hurt.
Loss of the 25-year-old building
was estimated at $4,000. Dillon
said cost of replacement would be
about $4,000.
