A Bad Man in Custody.
CHICAGO, July 2S.-Nicholas Staader,
who was yesterday arrested on the charge
of arson, and having found bail, was rear
rested, charged with attempted murder.
His bail was fixed at $4,000. Evidence of
his guilt seems to be accumulating, and his
neighbors are very vindictive in their feel
ing against him. The grand jury, which
meets tomorrow, will consider the case at
once.
Two other clearly defined attempts at
incendiarism have been discovered since
yesterday, and the supposed criminals were
arrested. There does not appear to be any
band or organized body Of men. but all
these are individual efforts in various parts
of the city.
A special grand jury has been ordered for
the consideration of these attempts at in
cendiarism and murder.
