Engaged Recently in Making Hay and
Bmtter-Search for a Buggy.

Butter-Search for "A Buggy.
The local habitation of Pat Grove,
while in this vicinity has been more or
less OF a mystery. He was frequent
ly seen in Omaha and South Omaha
and those who knew him wondered
where he made his home. little know
ing that Pat had turned a dairyman
and was engaged in the innocent task
% making butter and hay" at the
same time. His employer was none
other than his own brOther-in-law. a
former street car conductor and saloon
keeper. who had his place of business
on Harvey street before he took to
dairying. This man is now engaged
in the dairy business at Albright, just
below South Omaha.
Last May Pat arrived at the home
of this brOther-in-law and said that he
was willing 10 20 10 work; that he was
weary of desperate adventures and
wanted To lead an honest life. His
brother-in-law and his sister welcomed
this determination of Pat and set him
10 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 continued at the
dairy until shortly before the Cudahy
South Omaha. until just a few days
before the kidnapping and the last time
was late Monday night. Dec. Il. \
search has been made in Albright for
the buggy used by the abductors in
their operations.
Several hu@gieS answering the gen
eral description has been found
through the aid of i. X. MunShaw. OF
MelrU>e Hi. MunShaw was taken by
the police TO carriage factory and Sc
lected buggy similar TO the vehicle
of the abductOrS. Working along this
line the detectives discovered several
buggics in Albright and Bellevue that
looked very much like the one Mum
shaw had picked out in the carriage
factory. The quest * still under way.
and hopes are entertained OF locating
the buggy in or near Albright, Belle
vue. la Platte. PlattsmOuth or pos
sibly Pacific Junction. II 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 20 a long way TO clear up
the puZzlinG problem of what the kid
naperS did with their equipment when
they abandoned their rendezvous and
fed from MelTOSe Hill.

Chicago Physicians DO Not Believe That
Scientific Sensation.


Chicago. Dec. 21.-Eminent Chicag go
physicians and psychologists are in
clined to laugh at the announcement
of the discovery that salt-juSt plain,
everyday salt. or sodium chloride. as
the chemists call its the long-Sought
for elixir of life. Professors Loeb
ard Lingle. of the University of Chi
cagO. made the results of their years
of research known to the world re-
Gently through pamphlet prepared by
them and called ACTIONS of Certain
Ions on Nentricular Muscle"
They have found" il is said. that
sodium chloride. or salt solution. when
graduated to the right proportions. will
cause heart which has once ceased
to beat to take up its rhythmic action
and do its work again. In other
words. they have found that a certain
salt solution will revive life that is eX-
tinct''
DI. Rober II. Babcock. the we'll
known heart specialist. said: There
is nothing new in the discovery. 1t
would be misleading To let the people
think that salt is a Stimulant power
full enough to revive the action of p
heart when life is practically extinct.
InfuSionS of Il solution of salt often
are given by injecting the solution I'M
der the skin or into the veins Other
physicians made similar comments.
