For three hours, the fire raged, destroying part of the roof and an 800-year-old pulpit of exquisitely carved cedarwood and inlaid ivory, a gift from the Islamic hero Saladin (1137-1193).

Guns were, however, very much in evidence at Evers' inauguration. At the inaugural ball in nearby Natchez-apparently the first integrated dance in that city's history-black deputies were joined by FBI agents, local police and firemen, while two National Guard units were on alert.
