CHARGED WITH ARSON. Dennis Di-
neen, living in Wilmington, was ar
rested, Saturday, and held without
bail for court on the charge of arson,
it being alleged that he set fire to his
own property, near Hockessin. Anton
Cook, who lives on the property as a
tenant. charged that the owner set fire
to the house and other buildings, and
that they were destroyed. He also tes-
titled that he saw Dineen coming from
the burning buildings. The offence is
a capital one, as the charge is that of
setting fire to an occupied dwelling.

fire to his own property.
