Iowa Congressman Creates Quite IL
Sensation.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal on FEB. II the lower house of con-
gress resumed consideration of the general
deficiency appropriation bill. During IL
discussion of the question OF hazing, Mr.
Hepburn of Iowa created sensation by
declaring the large number of desertions
from the army and the lack of men i'm the
navy was due to the fact that American
citizens refuse to serve under men
'schooled in tyranny and oppression"
MIR. Hepburn said he had a list of twenty
five vessels of the United States which had
been wrecked by incompetent officers
since the close of the civil war. He de-
clared the officers stood by each other and
with but one exception the commanders of
those vessels were let Off with slight pun
ishment. He denounced hazing i'll un-
measured terms, and said he wanted to see
fixed a certain punishment for it.

PAT GROVE LOCATED
ACCORDING TO DISPATCH TO
KANSAS CITY PAPER.
Alleged Kidna?cr of Eddie Cudahy
lis ON Bellevue Island Within
Sight of Omaha Police Officials
Other News Items.

\ special to the Kansas City Times from
Omaha late last Saturday night stated that
Pat Grove is in hiding near Bellevue, in
sight OF the dome Of the court house at
Omaha. The much wanted alleged kid
naper of Eide Cudahy is guarded and is
defylng the authorities of Omaha and of
Sarpy County in which Bellevue Town is
situated. Such is the statement of IA prom
lnent police official who admitted that
steps have been taken looking to Il raid on
the place with the cooperation of the
sheriff of Sarpy County. 1t is stated on
the same authority that recent knowledge
had come to the police establishing the
whereabouts of the alleged kidnaper to Il
practical certainty, and that his letter
written to Mr.. Cudahy a week ago and
dated at South Omaha was not very mis-
leading as TO his exact location.
II has been supposed for week past
that Grove was in hiding somewhere near
Bellevue, but the exact location of his lair
has been kept so closely guarded that di-
rect information was unObtainable.
Through information obtained Sunday it
is learned that the Pinkerton representa-
tives have been working in the vicinity of
Avery, and that Friday night one of their
men was looking for information below
Albright. These are two way stations on
the road TO Bellevue.
A week ago Chief of Police Donahue
admitted that lie had received information
that Grove was hiding at the residence of
friend, where he was being guarded
night and day, and that he had been told
it was useless to try to discover the loca-
tion of this house, but Chief Donahue then
stated that the cold water thrown on his
search would not deter him from prosecut-
ing his work in the directions indicated
by his informant
III is certain that Chief Donahue has lo-
Gated the house in which Grove is guarded
and that he has Information that Grove
has five companions with him. all armed
to the teeth and ready to resist any assault
which may be made upon his stronghold.
Stronghold it is i'll every sense of the word,
for the place is that which furnished the
notorious Vic McCarty immunity from ar
rest after every escape that desperate
made after committing numerous crimes.
The haunt for the Cudahy lkidnaper, as
it was,the haunt of Vic McCarty, is on
Bellevue Island, the most inaccessible, the
4mpenenable .ilderness known to exist in
thai part of the country.

A Fjrcl,rcak Machine.

n man living in Butte County has made
an invention of IL firebreak burner which
is attracting some attention among cattle
men. 1t is made after the fashion of a
horse rake, each tooth being made in such
a manner that flame of fire, supported by
kerosene oil gas, burns at the end. The
width of the machine is about eight feet,
which will make it possible to burn Il
strip of grass at any height eight feet i'll
width. The fire is afterward put out by
men who follow the machine. The ma
chine is one that has been wanted for some
time on the range, where tircbreaks have
been necessary to preserve the grass from
prairie fires.

Meets Only with DisfavOr.
The bill which has been introduced in
the senate OF the legislature. relative to
taxing the products of the mines in the
Black Hills has aroused a good deal of in
dfsnatiOn among Black Hills people. The
bill would be extremely detrimental to the
interests of the Hills. The mine is taxed
at the present time, as we'll as the hoisting
plant. reduction works and all appliances
used in the mining and milling of ores.
The farmer pays taxes OH his farm, build
ings and live stock used in reaping a
harvest. The Black Hills people believe
that it would not be any more just tor the
miner to he taxed on the ore mined from
his property than for the farmer to be
taxed on his wheat or farm product when
he takes it to town and sells it to the grain
dealer
