diNulge about the kidnapping and the
letter that has been recently written to
the Cudahys, threatening the death of
their son if the reward for the arrest of
| the kidnapers was not dithdrawn.
| A diligent search disclosed no trace
OF Pat Grove, but the officers came on
the brother asleep i'll a rear room.
They hastily awakened him and took
away two huge bulldog revolvers which
he carried in his pockets. The man was

\ by Detective Weir, of the Iowa depart

across the river for an examination by

party. The detectives separated be-
fore reaching Groves place and, con-
cealing their faces in the high collars Of
their overcats, stroled one at a time
over the sidewalk in front of the saloon.
| The building was quickly surrounded.
| Some of the group remained outside to
guard the doors and windows that fur
| nished avenues of escape and to search
the outbuildings. The others opened
the doors and entered at the same time.
So business-like We're the movements of
| the detectives that the attention of
people in the vicinity was not attracted.
/ When the detectives opened the doors
of the saloon and the adjoining rooms.
| the inmates We're taken by surprise,
| but there was no show of resistance.
| A woman of the household attempted
| to run to the room where Grove lay
asleep, but several officers blocked
the way and entered first. So quiet had
been the entry of the officers that
Grove had not been awakened. He was
aroused and disarmed at the same time.
In his rear pockets two huge revolvers
| We're found, one in each hip pocket
Grove rubbed his eyes as if he were
| daZed.
What do you want?" he demanded.
"We're looking for you and Pat" was
the response. I'VE want Pat most, but
If we can't find him we want to ask you
| a few questions
| Grove took the situation complacent-
ly. "Ill do anything l can for you,
| ,entlemen,' he said, but I'll tell you
| right now l can't do or tell much"
While two of the detectives stood
guard over Grove until he put on his
heavy clothing for out of doors the rest
carefully examined the premises.
Where Arrest Was Made.
Groves saloon is in the midst Of an
isolated cluster of buildings just be-
You'd the last regularly marked street,
where the outskirts of the city end and
the prairie begins. The floors have
rotted away, but there is n large base
| ncnt, making il possible for an apart
ment to be fashioned beneath the
debris, where a man could easily hide.
Grove was escorted to the Council
Bluffs police station by Detective Weir,
who made the arrest AS Grove con-
sented readily TO accompany the Oma-
ha detectives to the Jail on the Ne
braska side for an examination he was
cniy registered ON the Council Bluffs
Jail book and then allowed to go with
the detectives. On the book he was
charged with being fugitive from. Jus
tioe, arrested on the complaint of the
Omaha detective.
Grove was under the influence of
liquor when arrested. and the police
We're unable to get much out Of him
last night.
Grove was put in tie sweat box by
the police last night, but he denies any
knowledge of his brothers where
abouts and that he had anything to do
with the kidnapping.
The police expect, however, to secure
some valuable information about Pat
Grove and his recent doings.
