number of incendiary fires DESTROYED prop
erty in and near Milpitas of the value of
$4,000. 1t is believed from the character

day night. The first fire occurred at the
Midway school-house, between Berrvessa
and Milpitas; loss, $1,000. Later ON the
ranch of W. Boots, barn and a Shanty in
the Chinese quarters were fired, but were
eXtinguished before much damage had
been done. Shortly after midnight
+. TophamS warehouse at Milpitas
was burned down, together with
all the cOntents; loss. $4,000
insured for $4,000. While an attempt was
being made to save this structure. Il fire was
discovered al Wayne station. several miles
south on the S. Z. Il. T. to san Jose Here
four boX-cars and the railroad platform were
consumed The railroad employees reached
this place to find that at some distance be
yond, the railroad bridge over tie Coyote
was on fire. This was put ont
before much damage had resulted.
On Monday morning, at O'Clock.
the barn of F. McKisSick fourteen miles
south of San Jose, on the Gilroy road, was

The demagogic harangue OF DR.. Dom
nell, on Saturday, is supposed to have
given the cue to the incendiarieS The
doctor was announced to speak in this city
on Sunday, but the excitement was so
great that he prudently took the cars for
Santa Cruz. 1t would not be healthy for
him to be here at present. The community

short SHIFT will be given to the incendiaries
if they are caught.
