season Of 400 a, Chicago.

The year 800 goes down in history
as peculiar one SO far as the ranch
man Of the west and northwest was
concerned. The winter If year
a 70 was mild and gentle compared
with many whose storms and biting
cod have been experienced in the
past. The herds of cattle scattered
over the hills aud valleys OF Montana,
Wyoming and the Dakotas suff red
10 severe hardships on the winter
range, and when spring came and
the warming rays of the sun melt
ed the SHOWS from the mountain
slopes, set the rivers 10 a roar and
covered the vast prairies with a car.
pet of green ranchmen we're happy.
Seldom indeed was the ou' look more
propitious. Alternating rain and
sunshine caused rapid growth of
grass, and the cattle, already in fair
condition, hungry for the tender,
succulent blades, ate greedily and
soon rounded out their forms in
way quite pleasing to their masters.
The vicissitudes Of the ranchnan' S
life are many, but this year there
seemed to be no check to the steady
gain Of the growing beasts and GER
tainly up to nearly shipping time
the season gave forth much promise.
BY reason of these favorable met
eorological conditions and because
the cattle were in better flesh when
last winter closed, the shipping sea-
son opened fully Two weeks earlier
than usual, and, in fact, She earliest
since 1896. Naturally the initial
shipments Of the year were watched
with vivid interest by ranchmen who
had cattle TO follow later on, for in
some degree they are in index, more
or less reliable, as to the market
worth OF range products. The first
OF any consequence to arrive there
wsrs the Mstadcrs and Western
Reaches from Belle Fourche, S. d..
on July l6. They were in pretty
good desk. The Matadors sold for
~ u, averaging 1874 lbs. with the
Western Ranches ct $4.45, weighing
1851 lbs. These prices we're quite
satisfactory, and gave ranchmen
hope that the future was bright, but
Fate has queer way of disappoint-
ing stockmen sometimes, and this
was one Of the times. About the
first Of June the rains ceased and
the hot rays Of the midsummer sun
quickly withered up the verdant
grass and burned it to . crisp. The
dry spell" became Q protracted
drought, which extended over the
greater part Of the territory cover
ed in this report, and the ranch
mans hopes were blighted. Long
enough did this condition prevail TO
bring about great change in the
situation. Water became alarming
~ scarce, SO scarce, in fact, that

Grove Mixed Up in Tt.

Omaha, Dec. 25.-The Omaha police
have evidence that Pat Grove, sus-
pected of being leader Of the gang
that kidnapped Edward Cudahy,, Jr.,
rented the house in which young Cud-
,ahy was imprisoned. They believe the
woman who was with Grove was Lii
lie Devine, who aided Grove in SEN
sational robbery in Denver in 1893.
Young Cudahy says the picture of
Grove is very much like the man who
caught him. Groves wife is in Oma-
ha, and, although she has not lived
with her husband for a number of
years, she is evidently trying to shield
him from arrest. The police have
found an Omaha citizen who identified
Groves picture as that of the man
who rented the old house used by the

I'VE have kidnapped your child and

him, but it you refuse we will mt

we will Immediately kidnap another
milliOnaires child that we have snot-
ted and demand 100000, and we will
! get it, for he will see the condition of
your child and realize the fact that we
mean business and will not be monkey
ed with or captured.
Get the money all in gold five.

alone on the night of Dec. 49, at 7
o'clock p. ~, and drive south from
your house to Center street: turn west
on Center and drive back to Ruser's
park and follow the paved road TO-
wards Fremont. When you come to a
lantern that is lighted by the side of
the road place the money by the lantern
and immediately turn your horse
around and return home. You will
know our lantern, for it will have two
ribbons, black and white, tied on the
handle. You must place a red lantern
on your buggy where it can be plainly
seen so we will know You mile away.
''This letter and every part of it
must be returned with the money. and
any attempt at capture will be the
saddest thing you ever done. If YOU
remember some twenty years ago
Charley Ross was kidnapped in New

Old man Ross was willing to give I'D
the money, but Burns, the great de
tective, with others, persuaded the old
man not to give up the money, assur-
ing him that the thieves would be
captured. Ross died of a broken
heart, sorry that he allowed the de-
tectives to dictate to him.
This letter must not be seen by
any one but you. If the police or some

K1TCHENER REPORTS PROGRESS.
Roer Movement in Cape Colony Checl1c
Operation of the Military.


London, Dec. 24-The war office has
received the following dispatch from
Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, Dec.
%: GAS far as it is possible for me to
form an opinion from the reports of
officers on the spot / think the Boer
movement into Cape colony has been
checked. Of the two forces that entered
the colony the eastern is still north Of
the Z0utpansberg range. while the one
that entered west appears to have been
turned in the direction Of BritstoWn
and Prieska. Our troops are getting
around both bodies, and a special col
umn is also being organized which
will be dispatched Immediately when |
know where it's services are most
wanted.
The Beers have not received much
assistance in Cape Colony as far as
my information goes. We have armed
some Of the colonists who are assist
ing our forces. Railway and telegraph
communication has been much inter
rupted by the very bad weather. De-
Wet is in the neighborhOOd of Senekal
General French, in conjunction With
General Clements, attacked a force I'M
der Beyers south Of the Magaliesberg.
The Beers broke away in a southwest
erly- direction toward POtchefstroom,
and were followed by General Gordon
with column of French'S force. Yes
terday evening about o'clock Glenn
ents' force was engaged south of Oil
plants Neck, but do not yet know
the result"
A later dispatch from Lord Kitch-
ener dated Pretoria, Dec %, says:
The western column Of Beers occu-
pied Britstown and cut the railway
south Of DeAar junction. The enemy
is being followed up. General French
has been in contact for two days with
the conmandos of Beyers and Delarey,
south of the Magaliesberg. He is pur-
suing them. The enemy have lost con-
siderably, and Commandant Kreuz
and others have been captured. Gen
eral Colville engaged two separate

this would be as fatal to YOU as if you
refused to give the money. So YOU see

Mr. CUdahy, you are up against it.
and there IS only one way out. GIVE
UP THE COIN. Money we want and
money we will get. If you don't give

that we mean business and you can

Follow these instructions and no

Most people will wonder why the
police did not frame up aud attempt to
capture the kidnapers Of young Gu
daily when his father took out that
S23.OC0 Wednesday evening" said
Chief Of Police Donahue last night.
We could have done so, but 1t was
Mr.. Cudahy's wish that we do nothing
that would interfere with the Safety OF
the boy. Mrs. Cudahy was nearly
broken down with nervous prostratlOn.
and Mr. Cudahy was little better"
He said to us, L first want the boy SO
he took the matter in his own hands
and went out alone with the money.
l told him that we were at his service
ard would do anything he wanted OF
US, but he was so afraid that Uhey
might do something to the boy that
would injure him.
Now, 1 can say that no effort will
be lost to bring the abductors TO JUS
tice, This is for the benefit of the pup
lie, and to prevent repetition OF TINS
most dangerous crime. Mr.. Cudahy
evinces but little desire to prosecute
the case, but he promises to do what
ever we want him to do in the matter
He has offered no reward and think
is spending no money in the case. lie
is the best satisfied man [ ever saw,
ROW that he has his boy again.
