Mr.. DaSis' part. and the testimonials
presented to him by the board of I'M

insurance people placed upon it.
Among the '-firebugs" Harris was re-
garded as master mind. He was fer
tile in .-esources. and seemed fearless
Of cons squences. He extended the
sphere of the gangs operations from
small sLst side shops to big Broadway
stores. Being a furrier by trade, it
was he rho planned and arranged fer
incendis-y fires in furriers' establish
ments, Just as q man named Isaac
Fucker made a speciality of fixing
Clothing store fires.
Some idea of the profit that was de-
rived from the business may be had
from the fact that. Notwithstanding tile
''long division" that had to be made of
the "sroils." Harris was reputed to be
worth from 100000 to s4O0, 900 when
ne took French leave, although a half
a dozer years previous he was almost
penniloss. His home in President St.
Brooklyn, which he owned, was mag
nificently appointed. and his family.
consisting of a wife, five young girls
and little boy. were the envy of their
neighbors. Harris had a fine stable.
and the pair of mottled grays were
known far and wide in the City of
Churches. In fact. the HAIRLESS lived
in quite luxurious style, and were re-
garded as very agreeable people, and
those of their fellow citizens who knew
them must have been rudely shocked
when the startling truth came out that
the head of the house, IL he had had
his deserts. would have been doing
hard labor in Sing Sing instead Of
speeding his thoroughbreds on the
Ocean Parkway.
Harris firebug or incendiary gang"
was one of several which had a mutual
understanding that neither should in
wade the territory of the other. An
old man named Isaaes was the nominal
head OF the Harris crowd, although
Joseph Harris was the brains OF the
concern.
The modus operanGi of these gangs"
was very muCu the SAME III edCn case.
For instance. one of the ring leaders
would go to a man in the clothing bust
ness and say:
This is a pretty fair stock of goods
you have. OF course, your are in
sured?"
NO" the storekeeper might reply.
"Ah," would come the response in
a tone of surprise. That's not BUSH
nesslike. You ought to be insured.
Besides"-with sly wink-"times are
hard, and under those circumstances
a little fire isn't such bad thing"
or course the storekeeper would Mt
first seem Mortified at the indirect sug-
gestion of arson, but the "firebug" gem
orally knew his man.

would continue. Just let me get you
insured and I'll see to that. You can

enough to obtain sufficient food to sus-
tain life. and after provisions have
been procured it is just as difficult to
keep them. The native dogs and bears
eat everything they can find. and they
display a remarkable amount of intelli-
gence and slyness in locating something
to eat. The miners have tried many
methods OF protecting the stores and
are now resorting to caches or small
houses built on stills. Here they keep
their food.
