SEVERAL MYSTERIOUS FIRES
RECENTLY
POLICE ON FIEN0's TRAIL
San Bernardlno Officers Begin Crusade
Against DsreputabIe Lodging
Houses-CaptaIn Malcolm
McGregor Dead

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 1o.-The
people of Cotton are terrorized at the
thought of having an incendiary IN the
town. Recent events seem to confirm
that belief. Last night another mys-
terious barn fire occurred when the
barn of r. w. Brink was burned. Dur
ing the day three attempts were made
to fire the barn Of George Osburn but
short distance from the Brink place.
But one week ago the barn Of ]. c.
Malone was destroyed in the same
neighborhood, and but few weeks
ago w. w. Wilcox lost barn under
the same mysterious circumstances.
The fires invariably occur when the
family is away from home.
An investigation of last nights fires
shows that they are incendiary beyond
doubt Shingles saturated with kero-
sene were scattered about the build
ings The officers are working dill
gently on the case and have some clues
which they hope will be productive of
results.
"A crusade has been begun against
the cheap lodging houses which are
but little better than red light" dens.
These houses are scattered all through
the business section of the city and
are being placed under close surveil-
lance. Last night two young women
of respectable families who had been
lured to one of these dens by two
young men were taken out by the
officers and turned over to their pa
rents.
For some time the officers have been
watching these places and have taken
out numbers of innocent girls who had
been enticed there. 1t is probable that
if the practice of lodging house keepers
to permit their places to be used for
such purposes cannot be broken up in
any other way prosecutions will be
commenced.
Romo Murder Mystery
Continued investigation on the part
of the sheriff's office in the murder
mystery surrounding the death of
Ernest Romo still further convinces
Sheriff Ralph that in the person Of
Fred Eldridge and his two pals he has
the guilty parties behind the bars. 1t
has been found that Romo was known
to have had not less than $100 on his
person a short time before his death
and it is believed that robbery might
have been the motive. 1t has been
found that when Romo was shot he
was seated on a bench at their noun
tain camp, that when the bullet
crashed into his brain he fell back
ward and a large pool of blood gath
cred on the ground. This is quite a
different story from that told by Ed
ridge. The coroner's jury will take up
the evidence Of the case Tuesday.
A rumor has reached here that Arden
Keller of this city has been killed st
Reno, New, in railroad accident, but
as yet no confirmation has been re-
ceived. Keller is the man who a few
weeks ago suddenly left the country
after he had been arrested on a charge
of running a blind pig in the noun
tains. He was released on his own
recognizance and left the country.
Captain Malcolm McGregor, who has
been resident Of this valley the past
