days.
Reports that the town of Torreon is

that place says that everything is
quiet and that since the Viesca and
Las Vacas raiders were routed all has
been quiet in the state of Coahuila

burned and much track destroyed

TWO ARRESTS RESULT FROM
 QUEER FIRES Fire Marshal Has the Druens, Father and Son, Held to Await an Investi.
 gation. LOOKS LIKE ARSON CASE Bonds of s1o,ooo Set In Each Cnsc-- Second and Third Alarms Come After Arrests Have Been
 Made.
LOOKS LIKE ARSON CASE

The suspicious origin of the Are that called four companies of the de- pertinent to the eabinet-working shop of Anton Faeth at Il Hamilton street last night resulted in the arrest short- ly afterwards of Bernard D. Druen and his son, Frank Druen. on sus- piclon of connection with 1t, and the two are held under orders from the fire marshal Upon arrival at the scene Fire Marshal Gladwin entered the shop of Faeth, where the fire was located, on the second floor of the wooden building, and noticed sev- eral suspicious circumstances which made him believe that the fire had been set by someone. The Druens, father and son. conduct a shop on the first floor of the same building. and their arrest was made by the po- lice of the Grand avenue station The father Is sixty years of age and the son twenty-one. They are engaged in the business of manufacturing steps for carriages.
 Fire Marshal Gladwin said last night that he could not make any statement then of the circumstances of the Are, but declared that they were very suspicious and that the arrests had been made in connection herewith, The fire marshal will make a thorough examination of the place to-day for evidence in connec- ton with the case. While the mar shal would make no statement re- garding the suspicious circumstances, it is said that excelsior and other in- flammable materials were discovered scattered. about the floor, and very evident traces were to be seen that arson had been committed. What led to the suspicion of the pruens did not develop.
 After the arrests had been made, and about two hours after the first Are, another broke out in another part of the shop The first fre was in the main building, while the sec ond was in a building somewhat in appearance like barn at the rear. Several hundred dollars damage wa. done by each of the fires. and the loss will probably total over $500.
 One Of the prisoners was held last night at central station, while the other spent the night at the Grand avenue precinct The father was kept at the downtown station, while the son WIS sent in to central Each Is held under bonds of slo,000, show ing that the Are marshal Is very anx- ious that they should not have any chance 10 escape.
 For the third time box s5 was pull ed shortly before o'clock this morn ing. Fire had broken out In still a third part of tho Faeth plant. This time 1t was in a shed attached to the place. Again the entire four compa- nies were called to the scene, though each time only two were required to fight the blaze. IL was discovered that fires had been set In each of the three places, slow-burnng candles being used, and these burned down at different times, thus causing the separate calls for each part of tho plant as 1t caught.
 The Druens were arrested by Ser geant Williams and Patrolman Calla- han, who were sent 10 find the men wanted by the fire marshal under sus- picion.
