The Cunning of the Crow.

In the inn garden l saw dog eating
a piece of meat in the presence OF sew
eral covetous crows, says a contributor
to Our Animal Friends. They evident
ly said a great deal to each other on
the subject, and now and then one or
two of them tried to pull the meat
away from him, which he resented.
At last a big strong crow succeeded
In tearing off a piece, with which he
returned to the pine, where the others
were congregated, and after much ear
nest speech they all surrounded the
dog. and the leading bird deXterously
dropped the small piece of meat within
reach of his mouth, when he immedi-
ately snapped at 1t, letting go the Dig
piece unwisely for a second, on whicn
two of the crows flew away with IL 70

AMERICANS WERE FIRST
TO ENTER THE FORBIDDEN CITY
OF PEKIN AUG Ia. 49,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Brig Gen.
Haywood, commandant of the marine
corps, has forwarded to the navy depart
ment letter from Capt Charles D.
Long, serving with the marines in China
stating that the American marines were
the first to enter the Forbidden city
There has been much controversy as to
whether the Russians, Germans, British
or Americans were the first inside the
sacred precincts Of the Forbidden city,
and this letter is regarded as establish
ing the claims of the Americans to have
been the first on the ground. Capt. Long
gives the following account of the duties
performed by Company d at Pekin on
Aug IS:
Up. to that time aug. 16) the Forbid
den city had not been entered by any of
the allied forces Three of the four gates
between the Chienmen gate and the Fer
hidden city had been forced the previous
day by the Americans, but then they
matted. and finally withdrew to the first
gate, owhichs was held. Receiving an or
der from the commanding officer Of
marines to enter the Forbidden city and
seize such buildings and quarters as
m}ght be most advantageous for us to
mold and occupy. L moved Immediately
with my company and forced the fourth
gate and entered the city: japanese SEN
tries objected to our entering. but 1 did
not consider their claim to any control at
that point. On entering there was no
opposition, the Chinese having departed,
leaving their tents and banners standing.
L put guards on the best of the buildings
and the regimental colors were hoisted
on one of the administration buildings.
To the best of belief, this was the first
and only occupation of the Forbidden
city by any of the allied forces, and the
only time that any force hoisted it's col
ors there. We remained there from about
$3.50 p. m. to about 5 p. M, when 1 re-
ceived an order to withdraw and leave a
guard at the fourth gate Capt. Mat

III HAD BEN MlKIgG BUTTER
ON THE FARM OF HIS BROTHER
IN-LAW NEAR SOUTH
OMAHA
POLICE WORK IN THE CASE
Detectives Are Making Systematic
Search for the Buggy That
Was Used by the
AbductOrs.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec 26-It is now
known that Pat Grove was seen in
South Omaha scarcely twenty hours be-
fore the abduction of Eddie Cudahy. On
Monday night Dec. II, well known
citizen of South Omaha conversed with
him for nearly an hour. Pat was In a
reminiscent mood and recalled some of
the chief adventures of his picturesque
career. Just before-they parted, Pat was
questioned concerning his future plans
and laughingly replied:
"Oh! have nothing big on; but you'll
hear from me soon"
Hitherto Pat has been no closer to the
abduction than the Saturday night pre-
ceding that event. To a reporter for the
World-Herald Mrs. Grove admitted
that her husband was in South Omaha on
Saturday. The man who saw him on
Monday night states that he has with
held this information fearing that it
might lead to his own personal discom-
fort or even injury.
The local habitation of Pat Grove while
in this vicinity has been more or less OF
mystery. He was frequently seen in
Omaha and South Omaha and those who
knew him wondered where he made his
home, little knowing that Pat had turned
a dairyman and was engaged in the in
nocent task of making butter and "hay''
at the same time.
GROVE MADE BUTTER.
His employer was none other than his
own brother-in-law, a former street car
conductor and saloonkeeper, who had his
place of business on Harvey street before
he took to dairying. This man is now en-
gagged in the dairy business at Albright
just below South Omaha Last Nav PAT
arrived at the home of his brother-in-law

CASTELLANE'S DEBTS.
ARGUMENTS CONCLUDED IN VERT
HEIMER,S PARIS SUIT.


PARIS, Dec. 26.-Before the first civil
tribunal today, Maitre Bonnat resumed
his speech, begun Dec. 20, when the case
was adjourned for week in behalf Of
the Count and Countess de CastelIane,
in the suit of Charles Wertheimer, a
London bric-a-brac dealer, to recover
payment for objects of art sold the de-
PENDANT. In elaborate argument counsel
set forth the counter claim that the Cas-
tellanes demand a reduction of the
debt, Professionally estimated 10 BE- at least
100000 francs. and the restitution of OBJ
Jects taken in exchange by Wertheimer
under the penalty of 1000 francs for each
days delay in the restitution from the
day of judgment, finally claiming dam
ages to the amount of 100000 francs.
Maitre Foucauld, counsel for Vert
heimer replied, saying that the authentici-
ty of only i've articles Of the value of
100000 francs could po:s bly, be quest ned,
and while Wertheimer affirmed their gen
uineness, he would consent to another
expert examination, on the understanding
that if the articles were declared spurious
the 500,00O francs was to be struck out of
the bill, but II they@were declared genuine
the Castellanes We're to pay the full price,
no revauation being admitted. Vert
ton OF the objects of art which the
Count de Castellane gave in pledge for
the total of the bill on the eve of his
departure for America.
Maltre Bonnet again spoke, affirming
the Castellanes only secured delays in
payment and the withdrawal of Vert
heimer's suit by fresh purchases of articles
for 10000 francs. which were barely worth
1900 francs. This, counsel claimed, was
selling delays at usurious rates.
The Castellanes, COUNSEL continued. de-
manded an expert valuation of all the
purchases and not of few objects.
The case was adjourned until Jan 3,
when Judgment VIII be delivered.

and said that he was willing to go to
work, that he was weary of desperate
adventures and wanted to lead AN hon
est life. His brother-in-law and his sis
ter~welcomed this determination of Pat
and set him to work He remained for
several months and then went away. But
to the. surprise Of his sister he returned
to the dairy and again went to work.
From that time on, he con-
tinued at the dairy until short
ly before the Cudahy abduction. He
was not often seen in South Omaha until
just a few days before the kidnapping and
the last time was late Monday night, Dec
Il A search has been made in Albright
for the buggy used by the abductors in
their operations.
WHERE IS THE BUGGY?
Several buggies answering the general
description have been found through the
aid of B. X. Munshaw, of Melrose Hill.
Munshaw was taken by the police to a
carriage factory and selected a buggy
similar to the vehicle of the abductors.
Working along this line the detectives
discovered several buggies in Albright
and Bellevue, that looked very much like
the one Munshaw had picked out in the
carriage factory. The quest is under
way and hopes are entertained of locating
the buggy in or near Albright, Bellevue,
La Platte. Plattsmouth or possibly Pa
ciffc Junction. 1t is thought that if the
owner can be found or the person from
whom the abductors bought the buggy,
if they did buy it, this will go a long way
to clear up the puzzling problem of what
the kidnapers did with their equipment
when they abandoned their rendezvous
and fed from Melrose HILL
THE MYSTERIOUS PONY.
There have been no new developments
in the Cudahy kidnapping case during the
last twenty-four hours so far as concern
the movements of the bandits in this city
and South Omaha after the kidnapping
The mystery Of finding the pony at Pa
cific Junction, twenty miles South of
Omaha has not yet been cleared up, those
trying to identify the pony as the one
used by the kidnapers being unable to
decide whether or not it was the same
animal.
The police, however, are inclined to the
belief that there is considerable import
ance in the report coming from St JOS
eph, Mo-, stating that Pat Grove has been
seen there as late as Monday, and
Chief Of Police Donahue is now investi-
eating that report. Should it prove true,
the chief thinks 1t probable that Grove
is in that vicinity.
There has been no real evidence ad-

TURKEY ORDERS A CRUISER FROM
CRAMPS

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 26-Charles Fl.
Cramp, when seen today, said: eve have
received a cablegram from Gen. VIII
liams informing us of the signing of the
contract with the Turkish minister of n a.
rine for the construction of a first-cla.s
cruiser. The particulars of the contract
we do not know nor can 1 say just when
work on the cruiser will begin or. when
1t is to be completed. Gen. Williams is
now on his way home and he is expected
to arrive here in about fifteen days. We
will then know more about the contract .
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Details are
not obtainable here Of the placing of an
order by the sultan with the Cramps for
a warship, but it is understood that the
statement to that effect from CONSTANT
nopIe is correct. From the character
and size of the ship ordered, it is beiev~
ed that the contract will involve the pay
ment by the Turkish government to the
Cramps of about $2,500,O00, which should
afford an ample margin for the settle
ment of any proper claims against the
Turkish government.

PAT GROVES RECORD.
LA CROSSE, Wis, Dec. 26.-Pat Grove.
the alleged Ndnaper- of Edward Cudahy
Jr., is well known to the La Crosse po-
lice. Grove is a native of Iowa, born
thirty-1ve years ago, not a great distance
from this city, and his family are very
respectable people and well connected.
Part of Groves criminal record is as
follows:
July s, 1S90-Sentenced to six years in
Joliet penitentiary; pardoned by Gov
Fifer after serving fifteen months.
February, 1S93-Robbed Chapin's Jewel
ry store, Denver, Col, jumped bail bond.
In Milwaukee he was arrested In 1854
for robbery and given three months in
the house of correction under an assumed
name. Tt was learned at this time that
Grove was wanted in Iowa for burglary
in Denver for big diamond robbery and
in Missouri for robbing a Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy train. The Milwaukee
police decided to turn him over to the
Colorado authorities, and later, when
William Pinkerton asked for him for the
Missouri job, Gov. Peck declined to give
him up to the Colorado authorities. There
was quite an official Wrangle, and finally
Gov. Waite, of Colorado, withdrew his
demand in favor of Gov. Stone, of Mis-
souri,, and Grove went to Missouri and
in December, 1895, was sentenced to the
st. Joseph penitentiary. From there he
made his escape.
Grove next turned up in Omaha, where
he became implicated in the killing OF
a police officer. Through influential
friends he was able to obtain his free
dom, and later turning up in Cincin-
natl, where he was arrested Since that
time he has frequently been in trouble,
but he has always managed to get out
of it in some way.
HE'S IN INDIANA NOW.
MUNICE, Ind, Dec. 26.-The Munice
police late tonight received calls over
a farmers private line to come to a
point near Shideler, eight miles north of
Munice to arrest a man who fills the
newspaper description of Pat Grove, the
alleged Cudahy kidnaper. Well armed
detectives, Bentbow and Packet, started
for the scene in a rig. T. G. futile and
other responsible farmers made the calls
and are positive that they have the big
prize. The man is well dressed and call
ed at several farm houses begging a
place to sleep, saying he did not like
hotels in cities and towns, always pre-
ferring the farmers homes. He claims to
have oil and natural gas interests and at
one place was jingling gold in his peck

LONDON, Dec. 81, 2:30 a. m.-The pau
city and obscurity of the dispatches from
South, Africa give rise to renewed
anxiety. Apparently the disturbed area
of Cape Colony extends further south
than it did last December, and Lord
Kitchener does not appear to have had
much success as yet in driving back
the invaders.
The war office had received no news
last evening of the reported captures of
yeomanry near Britstown.
A Burghersdorp dispatch has a mys-
FERROUS reference to IAN unfortunate
mistaking of the enemy for Brabant's

The British press continues in the main
optimistic, but the condition of affairs
brings home the enormous difficulties
that will force Lord Kitchener in pat
rolling and policing such enormous tracts
of country, even when the Beers shall
be finally subdued.
The Daily Mail, which makes a strong
appeal to the government to face the
facts and send Lord Kitchener more
troops, says: There is a real risk in
