From His Father-in-Law Who Holds
Him Fast.

Tucker, a seventeen-year-old white
boy, through his attorney, ]. B.
Atkinson, has brought habeas corpus
proceedings before Judge Klug ask
ing that he be delivered from the
control of Peter Lindsay. his father
in-law.
The case is a most unusual one,
the young man charging that he has
been kept at work on Lindsay's farm,
near Campobello, and hired out to
work on the farms of other men in
>the community, and that he has
never received any compensation
for his services.
Tucker says that for the past
nine months he has been living with
Peter Lindsay, and while living with
Lindsay he was persuaded to enter
marriage contract with Lindsay's
daughter, Miss Mary Lindsay, but
since mis- marriage he and his wife
have not been allowed to occupy q
separate room from other members
of the family.
Tucker further says that he has
been required to work on his father
in-law's farm without pay, and that
Peter Lindsay has frequently hired
him out to work on other farms in
the surrounding country.
The young man alleges that he
has often attempted to leave his
father-in-law, but was threatened
with violence and prosecution, and
that he has been dreadfully abused
and mistreated.

YOUNG FIRE BUGS.
Three Little Boys Arrested for Set
ting Houses Attire.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 20.-Three in
fantile fire bugs, the revelations OF
whose operations are startling to
police and firemen, have been arrest
ed here.
Commencing a month ago, and
continuing for ten days, the out
break of fires in the city, recurring
with alarming frequency, kept the
firemen working overtime. Incen-
diarism was suspected and the police
kept close lookout for the cul-
prits.
An unsuccessful attempt to burn
a saloon at the corner Of Monticello
avenue and Washington street, yes
terday afternoon was followed by
the arrest of three boys. They are
Doc Baum, son of Mrs. Rosa Baum.
of "a Fenchurch street; Samuel Ep-
stein, son of Morris Epstein, and
Herman Addison, son of Thomas Ad-
Olson, of 81 Cumberland street. The
boys have made partial confessions,
in which they involve each other to
much greater extent than they
themselves are aware.
Samuel Epstein. who is but six
years old, without fear, told Police
Captain Ford and Fire Chief Nc
Laughlin, of how his brother, five
years old, started fire at the corner
Of Monticello avenue and Washing
ton street that destroyed the life Of
an infant and burned buildings,
which, with their contnets, were val
ued at S34,55O, ON October 10Th and
goth. Each of the others under az
rest admitted having been present
at the starting of at least one fire..
It. was in these confessions they i'm
plicated each other in the starting
Of each fire.

CAUSES SIX DEATHS.
Underground Fire at Red Lodge
Mine Fatal to Workers.


Butte, Mont, Nov. 21.-Fire in
the Northwestern Improvement Com
pany's mine at Red Lodge today
caused the death of six miners and
ento1nbed many others.
Members of the fire department
and volunteers rescued more than
100 men, many Of whom were in
jured or completely exhausted. All
will recover.
Tonight it is stated by the res
cued miners that at least 81 men
are still in the most dangerous part
of the mine and it Is impossible for
the rescuers to get near them at
present.
The fire is terrific, judging from
the volume of smoke and flames
emitted from one entry. Coal cars
and lumber are ablaze and the dam
age to property will be heavy. j
An iron pipe was laid into the
mine and, there is now flow of wa
ter playing on the flames. The fire
itself is said to be confined to d
small area, but the gas and smoke
have spread to the various work
ings.
The company operating the Red
Lodge mines is controlled by the
Northern Pacific railroado
Most Of the miners employed are
foreigners. A similar disaster at
this property cost the lives Of eight
miners. "
