ANOTHER FIRE STARTED
IN BRANDYWINE PARK

There was another mysterious fire
in South Brandywine Park yesterday
afternoon. The park authorities do
not know how to account for the fires,
but it is the opinion that it is the work
of some crank, who is attempting TO
damage the park property.
The blaze yesterday was at a point
near Van Buren, street and but a
short distance from where the fire Of
Sunday was extinguished. It was dis
covered by Walter Rash, a water in
spector, who with the assistance of
the park guards put it out in few
minutes While IL only burned a few
feet of the grass, it would have re-
quired but short time for it to have
spread through the park had not Mr..
Rash happened TO pass the spot.
The attempts to burn the park
property hdve been so persistent that
it is likely the subject will be dis
cussed at the meeting Of the Park
Baord this afternoon and some action
taken towards capturing the fire fiend.
