(Staff photo) GRAND PRAIRIE (AP) Losses from a fire that destroyed the Wax Museum of the Southwest may total $4 million, but many ruined items are irreplaceable, officials say. Among the items destroyed along with 300 wax figures in Friday's fire was the dress worn by Judge Sarah T. Hughes when she swore in Lyndon B.

Johnson after President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. Also lost was a car used in the movie "Bonnie and Clyde." Figures of Mickey Mantle and Ginger Rogers also were wearing clothing originally worn by the celebrities. About 30 visitors and 23 employees inside the museum when the fire broke out about 4:15 p.m. escaped without injury. Although firefighters arrived within five minutes, the blaze could not be controlled for almost three hours.

Grand Prairie firefighter Scott Sumners was treated for hand injuries suffered when a high-pressure released from Medical Center hose broke and Dallas-Fort Worth in Grand Prairie. Fire Marshal Elmer Aamodt, who said it appears the blaze was the result of an electrical wiring problem, said a museum employee spotted the blaze in the ceiling near the rear of the building and unsuccessfully tried to put it out with a handheld extinguisher. Museum visitor J.L. Williams said he was viewing "Dr. Blood's Theatre of Horrors" when he smellcd smoke.

"We thought it was part of the special effects, just something to scare you," he said. "We were joking about it. But the smoke kept getting greater, and we started walking toward the front and saw employees running." The museum was founded in Dallas' Fair Park in 1963 by W. Thomas Bolton, said Bill Olsen, a former marketing director at the museum.
