Use On-Soaked Waste

fires, AND up to the present time this is
about all that is known concerning the
methods used by the criminal, except
that he goes from place to place, start

fighting one previously started in some
other section of the Hill.
Fearing that their business places or
homes may be the next doomed to
destruction at the firebug's hand, pri-
vate individuals. merchants and fac
tory owners have employed private
watchmen and detectives to cope with
the situation. Yesterday morning the
watchman for the Boil Manufacturing
Company caught a man trying to ply

stored nothing but inflammable ma
terials. When the watchman came on
the scene the intruder. believed to
have been the incendiary, shot at the
officer and he returned the fire, but
the frebug escaped.

to everybody and the Telegraph can
only hope that few hours will elapse
before the reward can he legitimately
claimed and the criminal brought to
Justice.
The first series of fires started by the
'frebug caused heavy losses in the
Shimmell, Vernon and Forney school
buildings, early on the morning OF
January 90. Investigations showed
that these fires were started with oil
and other infiammable materials, sue
cessively on the same morning. Late
Saturday night and early Sunday
morning, the fire department was call
ed out to fight incendiary fires in q
lumber yard at Cameron and Mulber-
ry streets, and in three stables all in
the vicinity of Fifteenth and Derry
street, less than two blocks away from
the Vernon building. All of these fires
were started with oil and oil-soaked
waste.
