HELD FOR A RANSOM
Son of E. A. Cudahy, Millionaire
Packer, Kidnapped at Omaha.
The Missing Boy Was Returned
Home Thursday MOrning-Mrs.
Cudahy Says the Reward VIII
BE Paid to His AbductOrs.

Omaha, Neb, Dec. 2O.-Edward
Cudahy, jr., 10 years old, only son of
Edward A. Cudahy, the millionaire
packer and head of the Cudahy Pack
ing Co. in Omaha, is missing from
his home in this city, and his parents
believe he has been kidnapped. The
entire police and detective force of
the city and so men employed by Mr..
Cudahy hunted for him all day with
out success. Business at Cudahy's
packing plant in South Omaha was
practically suspended on Wednesday,
nearly the entire force there joining
in the search. The father has offered
to pay substantial reward and ask
no questions,if his son is returned to
his home.
Young Cudahy left home at
O'Clock Tuesday night to take some
books to the residence of Capt Rus
tin. about two blocks distant. and
that is the last seen of him. AS mid
night arrived and he did not return,
the police were notified, and two de-
tectives were detailed to work on
the case.
Il was not until nearly o'clock
Wednesday morning, however, that
the matter began to assume a really
serious aspect. At that hour a man
on horseback rode rapidly by the
Cudahy mansion and as he passed
the front gate threw letter into the
yard. A servant who saw him took
the letter into the house, where it
was read. 1t is in substance as fol-
lows:
"Mr. E. A. Cudahy: Your son is
safe. We have him and will take
good care of him, and will return him
to you in consideration of the pay
ment of $4,000. We mean business.
.r. Jack
The remainder of the note the DO
lice refuse at present to disclose, as
they say it relates to the place where
the, money is to be left and where
the kidnapers are to leave the boy
in case Mr.. Cudahy complies with
their terms. The servant who saw
the man on horseback was able to
give good description of him, and
this is the clew upon which the police
are working at present.
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 2O.-The 15-year-
old son of Edwin Cudahy, who dis
appeared from his home in Omaha
Tuesday evening, and for whom the,
police have been searching since his
disappearance, returned at 1870
Thursday morning.
= Mrs. Cndahy, when asked about the
safe return of her son, refused to an
swer all questions and would only
say that her son was safe and well.
81 will not talk about it tonight"
she declared positively. "All that 1
can say now is that he was alb
Quoted"
Mrs. Cudahy parried all questions,
and said that she would not say
whether the ransom had been paid
or not. Il will not talk any more to-
night and that's all there is to it."
1--WE are in no shape to talk to-
night" said Mr.. Cudahy. Neither is
the boy. He can tell his story later
just as well. He was abducted all
right. 1 don't know yet how or where
he was taken. He was returned to
the house by the men who took him
away. They brought him to the
gate and left him there. The re-
ward will DE paid Further than that
positively decline to speak and moth
