WHERE'S PAT GROWER
Seems to Be a Question That Is
Of Interest in the Cud.
ANY Case.
BOAST HE IS SAID TO HAVE MADE
just Before He Dropped Out of Sight
His Reported Visit to St.
Joseph, Missouri.

Omaha. Neb., Dec. 2T-There have
been no new developments in the Cud-
ANY kidnapping case so far as concern
the movements of the bandits in this
city and South Omaha. The mystery
of finding pony at Pacific Junction
Ia, twenty miles south of Omaha. has
not Yet been cleared up, those trying
10 identify the pony as the one used
by the kidnaperS being unable 10 de-
eide whether or not il was the same
animal. The police. however, are i'll
clined to the belief that there is con-
siderable Importance in the report COM
ing from ST. Joseph, Mo, stating that
Pat Grove had been seen there as late
as Monday. and Chief of Police DOna-
hue i now investigating that report.
Should it prove true the chief thinks
is probable that Grove is now in that
vicinity.
Why Grove l. Suspect.
There has been no real evidence ad-
duced that Grove was in any way
connected with the kidnapping, but the
chief thinks his past record and his
actions since the Cudahy event, of
which the detectives and other officers
are now pretty well acquainted, are
very strong reasons for securing his
arrest anu ufItnllpls ana arr NiSOi-
Ously prosecuting the search for him.

said He'd BE Heard From.
Just before they parted Pat was
questioned concerning his future plans
and laughingly replied:
"OhE | have something big on;
you'll hear from me SOON
At the time this was viewed as
idle boast, for Grove is as boaStful
as he is daring. But Il few days later
the acquaintance who spoke with
him that night had good reason TO re
call these words. Hitherto Pat has
been brought no closer TO the abduc-
ton than the Saturday night proceed
ing that event. TO reporter for The
World-Herald Mrs. Grove admitted
that her husband was in South Omah
on Saturday. The man who saw him
on Monday night states that he has
withheld this information fearing that
ii might lead to his own personal dis
comfort or even injury.

Pearling is still profitable, for the crude shells are solo at from $500 to $75o a ton, and there is always a chance that diver may make enough in e1e day to quit fox life.
