Til lzi Yea H2Ti Kr-A C:-M A Bra tt yS)r sTgntrcf WUyf,, GOLD FOR HIS BOY. Millionaire Cudahy Fays $25,000 and His Son Is Returned. , Omaha, Ned., December 20 There is rejoicing in the home of Edward Cudaby, the wealthy packing house owner and capitalist of this city. Ed ward Cudahy, Jr., who was kidnapped Tuesday evening, after being held thirty-six hours for a ransom of $25,000 in gold, which the young man's father un hesitatingly paid, has been returned to his family, and to-nlgbt the boy and his parentB are receiving congratula tions from relatives and friends through ought the country. Young Cudahy to-day related the atory of being overpowered, placed In a closed carriage, blindfolded and bound and carried many miles from the city to a place, the location of which he cannot identify, and his father made known the details of a long ride into the country to deposit a bag contain Ing 25,000 in gold in a place indicated in a letter written Wednesday to Mr Cudahy by the outlaws, naming this condition as a surety for the return of the boy. This sum was to be deposited in place indicated about five miles north of the city on a lonely road leading up the bank of the Missouri river. Mr. Cudahy called Into consultation the chief of police and his friends and discussed plans looking to the capture of the gang when they should make an appearence at the point of rendezvous named In the letter. The great strain on the the family, however, caused Nr. Cudahy to abandon all idea of caplur ing the men in whose power was the life of bis son, and be decided to at once comply with all the demands of the bandits. Absolute secrecy was necessary and a truited messenger was dispatched to the bank to secure the gold. After securing the money he started out entirely alone. To identify himself he had attached to the dashboard of his buggy a red lantern, which was one of the conditions in the letter. Mr. Cudaby drove to the appointed place, where he found near the road a white lantern sus pended from a short stake driven in the ground near the river bank. Nobody was In sight. Uo at once alighted, placed the bag of gold conveniently near the slake and returned to the city without hearing a sound. That the bandits were on the spot and secured the valuable package cannot be doubted, for about 10 o'clock this morn ing, the young boy ran breathless up to the door of hit father's home and rang the bell for hdmlaalon. Notwithstanding the entire police and detective force of the city, aeveral Plnk erlona from Chicago and half a hundred of Mr. Cudaby's own men have been searching diligently for a clue looking to the capture of the outlaws ever since the return of lhe young man, up to 1 1 o'clock tonight nothing baa developed to give the least Idea of the Identity of lhe men who perpetrated the crime. Young Cud ahy says there were tlx of the men, bu that all wore masks. Chief of Police Donohue laid tonlgh that every ellort waa being made to bring the abductors to Justice; that there were probably three Instead of ill men that Ibey had been figuring on il for lean six weeki and mat tne police iut peel certain parlle. lie said that Mr Cudahy evinced tittle) dealrs to prosecute but tonight Mr. Cudahy announced be would pay $23,000 reward for the appn- henilon of the abduolora.
