                   HIGH SCHOOL AT ISHPEMING DESTROYED.

           Ishpeming, Mich. -- (AP) -- The Ishpeming High school, a three-
        story brick building erected in 1907, burned to the ground today.
        The fire was discovered at 11:45 a.m., and two hours later the
        building was a total loss, the walls having caved in.
           The manual training building and the Swedish church, nearby,
        were not endangered. The Central school, which adjoins the high
        school, caught fire as a wind carried the flames to the east,
        however.
           Firemen from Ishpeming, Negaunee and other nearby towns joined
        in attempting to save the structure. Arrangements for temporary
        housing when school opens this fall, are to be made at a special
        meeting of the school board tonight. It was suggested that Mar-
        quette or Negaunee house any "overflow" from temporary quarters.
           The fire started under the stage in the auditorium, apparently
        from defective wiring. The loss is estimated by school officials at
        $75,000.
