Kansas City, Feb. PA special from
Omaha says:
Pat Grove is in hiding near Bellevue,
IN sight Of the dome OF the courthouse at
Omaha. The much wanted alleged kid
naper Of Eddie Cudahy is guarded AMI
Is defying the authorities Of Omaha Such
u the statement Of prominent police o.
!e:s!, .ho admitted ;ha: steps have been
taken looking to raid on the place viii,
the cooperation Of the sheriff. II is stated
On the A.,iic authority that recaHt knowi-
edge has come to the police establishing
the whereabouts Of the alleged kidnaper to
practical certainty, and that his letter
written to Mr.. Cudahy week ago and
dated at South Omaha was not very mis-
leading as 10 his exact locality.
II has been supposed for a week past
that Grove was in hiding somewhere near
Bellevue, but the exact locality Q! his !s:.
has been kept so closely guarded that di-
| iect information wss un0btainabie.
Through information obtained it il learn
ed .!a, Pinker:on representatives have
been working IN the vicinity Of Avery, and
that Friday night one OF their nien was
looking ior information below Albright.
There are two way stations on the road TO
Bellevue.
Chief OF Police Donahue admitted he had
received information that Grove was hid
ing at the residence of a friend, where he
was being guarded night and day, and
that he had been told il was useless to
try To discover the location OF this house,
but Chief Donahue then stated that the
cold water thrown on his search would
not defer him from prosecuting work in
the direction indicated by his informant.
II is certain that Chief Donahue has To-
Gated the house in which Grove Is guard
ed, and that he has information that
Grove has five companions with him, all
armed to the teeth, ready to resist any
assault which may be made upon his
stronghold
Stronghold it is in every sense of the
word. for the place is that which furnished
the notorious Vie Mccarthy immunity
from arrest after every escape that des.
perado made, after committing numerous
crimes. The haunt Of the cudahy kid
naper as it was the haunt Of Vic Nc
Carty. is on Bellevue island, the most in
accessible, imp~netrable wilderness known
to exist in this portion Of the country. Its
very inacccssiblity is what is making the
Omata police cautious, for they realize
that an attempt 10 take Grove means :
battle Of no mean proportions. Hence an
attempt Is being made to get Sheriff Sart-
zer Of Sharpy county to organize posse
to work from his end Of the line.
Starter is known all over this section
for his success in hunting out outlaws,
and was the only man Of all the hundreds
who sought Vic Mclarty who dared, sin
gle handed, TO enter the yeritable Jungle
which protected that desperado. McCarty
had tied, but Startzsr's reputation MAS en-
haneed by his bravery. The exact action
to be taken by the police can not yet be
learned, but 1t is known that the raid
which was being organized is without
question for Pat Grove, and it is expected
that he will be in the tolls Of the law be-
fore MANY hours.
