MAMMOTH SHARK
IS CAUGHT in BAY

Far from its native haunts sin the
south seas and yearning for the taste
of real blood an eight fot shark was
caught at Hunters point yesterday aft
ernoon by Joe Ferrier, a butcher living
at Fifteenth and Railroad avenue
South
After fight lasting for nearly three
quarters of an hour Ferrier, with the
assistance of Fred Reighstetter of
Tenth and Railroad avenue, also a
butcher, iammed boat hook into it's
jaw and lifted it out on the wharf.
Measurement showed it to be a few
inches more than eight feet long.
: Ferrier and Reighstetter, having a
half day off yesterday, determined to
spend it in fishing from the wharf. The
two were primarily fishing for smelt,
but Ferrier threw out a heavier line
far into the bay, on the chance, as he
said, that he would get something
worth while. After an hours sport
something began running away with
the big line, which Ferier had baited
with piece of raw meat. He and his
companion grabbed the line and played
the big fish, gradually tireing 1t and
drawing it to the wharf.
With its nose out of water and it's
white belly and Vicious mouth gleam-
erman happened along with a boat
hook and it was dragged out of the
bay.
Last night the fish ives still on the
wharf, for Ferrier is at a loss to dis
pose of 1t.

GROCERS ACCUSED
OF crime OF ARSON

OAKLAND, Aug. 12.-Lazor Brooks
and Hyrnan Friedenberg, owners of a
grocery at 3S46 West street, were ar
rested this afternoon by Detective
Hodgkins on suspicion of having fired
their shop at midnight last night that
they might collect $500 insurance.
The building would have been de-
stroyed had not passerby seen the
flames through window and turned
in an alarm. Fire Marshal Ball went
to the call, and broke into the place.
After the fire had been extinguished
he made an investigation which
showed him that the fire had been in
cendiary.
Both the front and rear doors were
locked when Ball arrived, indicating
that whoever started the fire had keys
to the place. The flames had been
lighted in six places, kerosene and
gasoline preparations mixed with in
fiammable materials being used.
The incendiaries had saturated a
horse hair chair in a~rear room with
kerosene, and had placed the five gal
lon can containing the fluid above the
chair so that the oil dripped into the
hre. Under counter was a pie Oh
excelsior which had been soaked with
a cleaning preparation made of gaso-
line. Coal oil was poured On the floor,
and two boxes of parlor matches had
been scattered in this liquid. In all
the corners small blazes We're set.
Reaching the shop soon after the
alarm was given, the firemen prevent
ed the damage exceeding $100. The
shop was insured for $1,000, including
policies on the stock and fixtures.
Detective Hodgkins investigated the
nature of the fire, and a little later
arrested the owners of the grocery.
He found Brooks at his home, 954
Fifty-third street. Friedenberg lives
at 383S West street, two doors from
the shop, where he was found by the
detective.
