BERKELEY HILLS ABLAZE.
A Fierce Grass Fire Rages
and Does Damage.
Twenty Men Fight the Flames Away From 6
Prwier Magazine-The Biggest Grass
Fire for Years.

About II o'clock yesterday morning a
grass fire started in the Toohy Tract, just
north of Berkeley. 1t spread rapidly in the
thick dry grass, and by noon the biggest
grass fire fer years was raging over the hills.
A long, low bank of flames began to ex-
tend and to climb steadily upward, while
dense volume of smoke was blown down
ward toward the town by the wind.
The framework of a new house stood in
the Toohy Tract near where the fire started.
1t was In great danger for while but the
carpenters turned out and fought the flames
backward in their inclpiency.
Soon the Toohy tract was left desoate as
if black pail had been thrown over 1t, and
the flames started for the big white fence
aud residence of Captain r. 2. Thomas.
They never got there. They were baked by
a roadway and a creek that intervened, and
then they rolled upward toward the thick
grove Of eucalyptus that stood on what Is
known as the Railroad or Carpenter ranch.
They gathered force as they went, owing to
the increase of dead grass and brush. They
entered the grove, but the green trees re-
fused to burn. The underbrush caught,
however. but the fire soon spent itself there.
Out to the eastward the Serpentne line
of flames had taken n course toward point
most dangerous Of all. 1t slowly approached
the TOeK uuarrieS OF u. y. Dunu, where lHeT6
was magazine that contained from two to
three tons of powder used in blasting.
Mr.. Dunn had seen the danger in time
and sent messenger rushing to his fore
man with word to avert 1t.
There were twenty men in the quarries,
all of whom turned out and started back
| fires" TO meet tho one approaching.
1t was most critical period. but they
| succeeded In preventing the threatened
| destruction. Had the flames reached tne
chutes and blacksmlth-shops the loss "ouiu
| have amounted to many dollars
There were only few other buildings on
| the hills and at all OF these men were en-
| gagged In fighting back the flames.
Last night nil danger had passe9, lhe hre
| having cleared tile neighborhood or been
| got nnder control where any houses were
foeated. IL was still burning, however,
| toward Contra Costa County.
There were number OF cattle grazing on
| the railroad ranch when the fire started
| These were soon driven to safety. The
greatest damage was to the pasture, all of
| which was destroyed.
1t Is q common occurrence for grass fires
| 10 break out on the hills in the fall, but this
was the fereest known for several years.
1t is believed to have been started pur-
posely by boys.
1t was not the fire seen the night before

pie looking Tor some place from which to
see the procession. The flags and lanterns
on the long line of poles from Thirty-fourth

of reds, yelloWs and blues, with people
Wading in it.

at Twenty-secOnd street shone in the sun
light, and scores of people stopped 10 look
