Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
214S Center Street. June 10.


Three fires that broke out in quick
succession in a box car at the Berkeley
station freight sheds kept Policeman
George Thompson busy last night.
There seems to be something behind
it all and the police are on the lookout
for some bold crime that these fires
may conceal Town Marshal Kerns
and Officer Thompson have concluded
that the fires were started by person
in league with brace Of burglars,
who hoped to keep the police busy at
something else while they worked
The first fire started little after
o'clock. 1t was discovered by &. X.
Hoessli and Charles Fischel, who saw
smoke coming from a car standing on
the track at the station. They called
Policeman Thompson and he stamped
it out An hour afterward another fire
started up and Thompson extinguished
it, too, but he had not been gone ten
minutes before a third fire began 1t
gained such headway, however, that
Thompson could not stamp it out and
he called out the fire department. which
soon quenched the flames. The fires
were started in a big pile of paper that
filed the car.

The injured lad is a practiced horse
