STORY TOLD BY YOUNG cUDAaY.
1al.c,y Arrested Right Across the Street
From His Home. -...- !.

Fal.c,y Arre.ted Right Across the Street
From His Home. af
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 21.-When young
Edward Cudahy arose yesterday morn
ing he was questioned concerning the
circumstances Of his disappearance
and told the following: He said that
he was in front Of General GOWNS
home, just across the street from his
own home, on his way back from the
Rustin residence, Tuesday evening,
when two men approached him. One
Of them EterBed up to him and said:
1--WE are shetiffs from Sarpy county
and arrest you as Eddie MCGEE, who
escaped from the reform school," The
lad protested that he was not the
mythical Eddie MCGEE, but his captors
said that he would have to be identi-
fed. f.
They placed him in buggy and
drove to Thirty-sixth street and thence
south to Leavenworth street. As they
approached Leavenworth street mo-
tor ear passed them. The lad recog-
nized the conductor and said to his
captors: ''rhere is man who knows
me; he can identify me-" But the
captors Immediately blindfolded him
and whipped up the horse. The lad
thinks that they crossed Leayenworth
street and then drove in southwest
erly direction. Presently they came
to q house which. in the opinion Of the
lad, Is somewhere in the southwest
ern part of South Omaha. Young
CuGahy was taken from the buggy and
placed in room and chained to the
floor.
Here he remained oil night and the
next day. His hands were tied and
the chains on his feet prevented him
from getting good view OF his sur.
roundings, even after the blindfold
had been removed. He knows, how
ever, that he was in an empty room
and that the blinds on the windows
were closed. On the trip to the place
OF imprisonment the men. he says,
talked little about themselves. He
gathered from them that there were
six in the gang. One Of these men
came from Mexico recently and from
Denver very lately, and was an ex-
pert in the kidnapping business. Aft
er the mysterious house was reached
one man guarded him during great
er portion Of the day. The second
man was in and out of the room at
Intervals.
From q conversation between the
abductors and himself the young man
learned that the abductors had been
seeking to abduct one of the girls of
the family, and had been planning this
coup for four months. At night, for
some unknown reason, the men re-
leased young Cudahy from his chains
and said: We are going to take you
home" Then they led him to a hack.
He was driven rapidly through the
darkness to Thirty-seventh street,
where he was allowed to leave the
carriage. From there he walked home,
arriving there shortly after l o'clock
in the morning. The bandits made no
explanation to him why they gave him
his freedom,

SOUTH AFRICAN SITUATION
As 1t Is Given out by the British Omcials
at Cape Town.


at Cape Town.
Cape Town, Dec. PA government
memorandum issued last evening
makes the following announcement:
1.-THE principal seat of action has been
transferred to the northern part Of
Cape colony. Early Dec. 10 a large
body Of Beers crossed the Orange riv-
er toward Burghersdorp. "A British
force followed, to avoid which the
Beers turned westward and occupied
Venterstad Dec. 10, but they evacuated
the town the same day on the approach
Of the British, and marched in the d.
rection of Steynsburg. The Beers, how.
ever, have been intercepted and find
difficulty in moving in any direction,
as Steynsburg, Burghersdorp, Storm
berg, Rosmead and Naauwpoort are
all strongly held by the British, and
the Orange river has risen consider-
ably in their rear.
Another 1000 Beers crossed at Sand
Drift making for Colesburg, but on
the dispatch of British force they
diverged and occupied Philipstown
Dec. 10, cutting the telegraph wires
between Philipstown and Houktkraal.
Early this morning portion of these
Beers reached Houktkraal station and
cut the line there. Considerable rein
forcements have been sent to DeAar
and Hanover, and it is expected that
further invasion will now be stopped.
except in the case Of scouting parties
which may slip through to raid cattle
and to obtain much needed supplies.
"Hitherto there has been yery little
fighting, as the enemy in every instance
have retired before the British. They
took our garrison OF twenty men at
venterstad prisoners, but the Mayors
fonteln garrison repulsed their attacks,
infllcting heavy loss. after some hours
fighting and refusal of a demand
to surrender. 1t is probable that Of
the two invading forces the former ia
a part of DeWet's commando and the
latter consists of several small com.
mandoes hitherto operating in the west
of Orange River colony, and of a mum.

While hundreds of poor people in the
