lease Cushing.

Houston, Tex, March 3.-Daniel
Cushing, brother of L. B. Gushing of
the Southern Pacific, was last night
taken from the station at Del Rio by a

held for ransom of $4,000.
Last night z. B. Gushing received a
message from Del Rio that his brother
had returned 10 section house near
that point in a dazed condition, and
that he would be taken to Del Rio on a
special train. He stated that after he
had been with the men all night he
was released the following morning and
told how to make his way back to Del
Rio. +. b. Gushing left for the scene
to solve the matter
Rangers have been notified to help
Mr.. Cushing. The bandits informed
Gushing that he would be held for ran
som, but for some reason changed their
minds. During the ride into the coun-
try they kept his head covered with
sacks. Cushing says that he was not
otherwise mistreated and was forced
TO write the note which they posted
on the water tank at Devils River sta
ton. The place of the alleged kid
mapping is very wild and sparsely set
tied, and ideal for such work.

Second. According to the minister

ed to agent b contained some words

fus was imprisoned on Devils Is

by the tribunal the ipno-
cence of Dreyfus would be established.

WOMAN ACCUSED OF ARSON
Said to Have Set Fire to One House to
Draw Attention from Another
That Was Burning.

That Was burning.
Escanaba. Mich, Feb. 25.-AIrs. Jo-
seph Noel, of Gladstone, has been
lodged in Jail, charged with arson. Last
week the charred remains of Joseph
Rossusseau We're found in the debris
of Mrs. Noel's burned home. Two 9th
er houses caught fire at the same time.
One of these was close to the burning
shanty. The other, the home of Benja-
min Noel. to which Mrs. Noel ran from
her own burning building. was 100 feet
distant and it is said could not have
caught fire from the outside.
1t is the theory of the prosecution
that Rousseau was killed in n drunken
-bra'wI in which Mrs. Noel and another
man figured. Mrs. Noel was the only oc-
cupant of the home of benjamin Noel
when it caught fire, and it is upon the
assumption that she set fire to the
house to attract attention from her
own burning building that she has
been arrested. The prosecution has pre-
ferred to set up the charge of arson
rather thanmurder as this will be more
easily proven.
