THE OMAHA KIDNAPPING CASE.
Detectiyes' Theories as 10 the Escape
of the bandits.


OMAHA. Dec. 22.-Though little evil
dence has been found showing the identity
of those who kidnapped Eddie Cudahy, the
detectives have settled upon two theories
touching the manner in which the robbers
escaped, one of which they think must be
correct, and they are working very hard
on both theories.
One is that the robbers. after releasing
young Cudahy returned to their den,
loaded the furniture on their wagon, car
red il to a remote part OF the farming
district adjacent, and dumped it out or
threw 1t in the river, then started over
land with their gold in the buggy or pre-
yiously buried it in a convenient field.
While two men got out of the town in
this way. the third, with the woman, got
out on the trains.
The other theory is that the men are
Omaha workmen of a criminal tendency
and have simply returned to- their homes
after having buried their booty and will
wait until the cry has ceased and will
then dig up their money and enjoy it.
Many of the detectives from all over
the country are oyerrunning the whole
section and every particle OF evidence is
being run down. In addition to the $4,000
OHtTel ny MI. tuuduJ loi lhC
sion of the robbers, he has half dozen
of Pinkertons best men on the case, who
are working for the packer on big sala-
ries and expenses.
The discovery was made today that the
thieves selected an old house in an en-
tirely different part of the city nearly
sixty dals ago for the Cudahy kidnapping
job. A house in a remote section was
rented of ]. N. H. Patrick, at that time.
and because of the mysterious actions OF
the occupants the sheriff was notified and
the house raided. 1t was found empty
but new locks had been placed on all the
doors. The description of the men was
exactly the same as that of the men who
captured young Cudahy.
The police very badly want to see Pat
Grove, the daring young fellow who has
a number of hold-ups and train robbcries
to his credit. He knows he is suspected
of the work, and as yet has not turned
up anywhere to prove his innocence. and
his relatives say they do not know where
he is.

RECALLS A SIMILAR CRIME.
s. J. Burroughs Killed In the Treas
ury Thirty-six Years Ago.

ears ago.
The tragedy yesterday at the Winder
Building serves to recall a somewhat sim
liar occurrence in the old Treasury Build
ing, enacted thirty-six years ago next
month, in which Mary Harris, then a
young girl of eighteen years. shot and
killed Adoniram ]. Burroughs, a clerk in
the Office OF the Comptroller of the Cur
rency The shooting and circumstances
leading thereto created a profound sensa-
tion and eliminated in a trial before the
Supreme Court Of the District noted for
its length, celebrated array of counsel,
and minuteness of investigation. At its
close Mary Harris was acquitted of
charge OF murder.
Burroughs was shot shortly after 4
O'clock on the afternoon OF January 30,
1855, just as the clerks we're leaving
the Offices on their way home. On the
morning of the tragedy Mary Harris ar
rived in Washington from Chicago and,
armed with a pistol, secreted herses
behind a large bookcase in the main hall
at the north wing of the Treasury
Building. From her secluded position she
watched Burroughs at work and calmly
waited until oelock, when Burroughs,
with a fellow clerk, put aside his work
and started to leave the building.
AS he walked slowly through the hall
the woman stole from behind the book
case and shot him in the back, firing a
second shot as Burroughs staggered for
ward and fell, mortally wounded. The
woman then started to leave the build
ing, but was detained at the main door
way by Captain Of the Watch E. G. Handy,
also q justice of the peace who examined
her in his private office before several
witnesses. Hon. Hugh McCulloch, then
Comptroller of the Currency. was present
al this examination, and afterward testi-
fed at the inquest over the body of Bur-
roughs and the subsequent trial OF his
slayer. Within a few moments after the
shooting Burroughs expired, before ply
sician who had been summoned could
reach him.

IN the playing rules OF the great grid

not only player or substitute, but by

outsider could be guilty of unsports-
inanilke conduct of such a nature that
'he team should suffer thereby is by no
means clear. and practical illustra-
tlon OF this point will be awaited with
interest by football followers. AS to
'he players the throwing of his head

as coming under the head of unsports-

are only bounded by the available deck

sengers.
Hatches, companionways and deck
furniture in general serve as bunkers.
and the ships rolling is an omnipresent

the deck and not sent into the air, hit
ting is useless, and the proper stroke Is
something between push and drag,

PROPER GOLF CLOTHES.

10 the superficial observer golf
payer is the most unconventional per
son IN the world about matters OF
dress. Almost anythi,.s seems to do
tor tramp over the links, and man.
comfort appears to be the only arbiter
OF the clothes he shall wear, In reality
however, fashions are as we'll defined
IN golf as anywhere else. One of the
noticeable things about the game this
season Is that knickerbockers have
oeen almost entirely discarded. Last
spring. when the English fashion pa
pers talked about the abandonment OF
the useful "knickers." players here
laughed at the idea. but at the recent
amateur championship it was noticed
that tho great majority of contestants
wore long trousers and the same is
true of other contests.
There is certainly no reason why n
man should feel obliged to nut on a paIr
OF knickerbockers when he goes to n
golf links. They don't contribute any
more to his comfort or help him play a
better game than the ordinary trousers
Perhaps the change is due to fashion.
but more likely to common sense. To
don pair of "knickers," button the ex-
tremities and pull on a pair of long
stockings takes time and gets to be a
bore. Moreover the heavy tweed and
worsted are much warmer than Ions
trousers, and on a real hot day golf
players. like everybody else, are on the
lookout for something cool.
But. whatever cause is ascribed for
the change, the fact remains that the
Scottish mode of dress is out OF favor.
The mistake most people make is in
thinking that some elaborate costume
is necessary for golf playing. II they
knew that Travis Douglas. Hartman
and the rest of the crack players fire.
quently pick up their clubs and start
out without so much as changing n
necktie. they would probably worry
less about their summer outfit. The
best advice for the man who intends to
spend his vacation playing golf Is: BE
as unconventional as you like. If you
play a good game. nobody will care
what you wear, and II you don't all the
clothes in the world won't make you a
golfer"
