CUDAHY's MANSION AFIRE.
Kidnapers Alleged to BE Carrying Out
Threats Against the Packer.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. ia small blaze oc-
Cured in the basement of the E. a. Cudahy
mansion this evening. TIL fire was insig-
nifcant in money loss. but it is learned
that an investigation is in progress, the
expectation being that the fire will prove
to be i~ncendiary. The threats received by
Mr.. Cudahy through the mails since the
abduction of his son several weeks ago are
the basis of this belief.
1t is impossible to learn the real facts
concerning the origin of the fire. Repeated
attempts to gain access to Mr.. Cudahy by
telephone and by constant ringing at the
door bell have failed. The policeman who
has been stationed at the Cudahy mansion
ever since the kidnapping positively refuses
to relate any of the incidents of the fire.
The record of the fire chief is merely,
Spontaneous combustion and Fire out
in fifteen minutes"
Members OF the n~eighboring fire company
which was first on the scene say they
know nothing of the cause of the blaze and
hat it was practically out when they ar
rived. The fire was IN the basement, and
one of the servants, a female. says ii was
caused by the lighting of a lamp and throw
ing down of the match. AS every room in
the house and barn is fitted with electric
lights, this is not taken by those making
the investigation as conclusive of the
origin. At midnight. five hours after
the fire occurred, every room in
the house was ablaze with light, and the
inmates could be seen moving from room 10
room. but all efforts to obtain ingress. or
even to get some person to appear at the
door, was futile. The precautions taken to
prevent absolute information as to the
origin of the fire indicates that some mys-
ferrous influence has been at work. in the
opinion of the %neighbors who were attracted
to the scene.
