HELD FOR A RANSOM.
Son of Millionaire Cudahy
 Kidnapped In Omaha.
POLICE SCOUR CITY AND COUNTRY.
A Mysterious Horseninn Leaves Note ut Front Gate Saying the Boy Is Safe and Will Be Returned
 In Consideration of &25 900.

OMAHA, Dec. 20--Edward Cudahy, Jr., 15 years old, son of Edward A. Cud- ahy, millionaire packer and head of the Cudahy Packing company of Omaha, Is missing from his home in this city, and his parents believe he has been kidnapped. The entire police and detective force of the city and baIf q hundred men employ ed by Mr. Cudahy have been securing the city and country throughout the day in hopes of locating the young man or securing a clcw which would lead to a knowledge of his whereabouts, but with out success. Business at MT. Cudahy's packing plant in South Omaha was practically suspended yesterday, nearly the entire force there joining in the search. The boys parents are distracted at his disappearance. and the father has offered to pay q substantial reward and uo questions asked if his son shall be returned to his home. An anonymous letter has been received at the Cudahy home substantiating the fears of the family that he has been kidnaped.
 Young Cudahy left home at 8 o'clock Tuesday night to take some books to the residences Of Captain kustin, about two blocks distant, and that was the last seen of him. As, midnight arrived and he did not return the police We're notified, and two detectives were detailed to work on the case. It was not until nearly 3 o'clock yesterday morning, however, that the matter began to assume q really serious aspect. At that hour man on horseback rode rapidly by the Cudahy mansion, and as he passed the front gate he threw a letter into the yard. A servant took the letter into the house, where it was read It was in substance:
 MT. F. A. Cudahy-Your son is safe. We have him and will take good care of him and will return him to you ill con sideration of the payment of $25O0O. We mean business. JACk.'
 The remainder of the note the police refuse at present to disclose. as they say it relates to the place where the money is to be left and where the kidnapers are to leave the boy in case Mir. Cudahy complies with their terms. The servant who saw the man on horseback was able to give a good description of him. and this is the clcw upon which the police are working at present.
 Of studious turn of mind, the young man was much devoted to his home and was idolized by his parents, being the only boy in q family of five children. NIT. Cudlhy says he is willing to pay q liberal reward for the return of his son. As to the anonymous letter, however. he is undccidedl as to whether it emanatcs from the llidnaperS or from some crank who threw it in the yard with no pur pose other than creating a furore.
 As 10 the methods employed in the kidnapping but little is known at present, but it is believed by some that young Edward was dccoEed away through the ipstrumentaluy of a hoy about his own age, as two youths, one of whom an swered the description of young Cudahy, were seen on Leavcnworth street car west bound shortly before midnight.
