Blaze at Law School Destroys Dorm Room; $2000 Damage

Two Hastings men walked into their room at 1:10 Saturday night to find it full of smoke and flames. Saul S. Katz 3L and Fred T. Kilbride 3L tried to save books and notes as friends called the fire department.

Damage to the Law School building was estimated at $2,000 by the University Fire Department. The blaze was probably started by a cigarette butt smoldering in a couch, they said. Walls were stripped to the bricks and books ruined as firemen chopped and sprayed to stop the fire.
