Offers to Contribute $50O--A Kentucky
Farmer Charges His Divorced Wife With
kidnapping His Two Boys.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. l.-This informa-
.tion was given last night by Gen John
O. Cowing, Mr.. Cudahy's lawyer, i'm
mediately after an interview with the
millionaire, at which the latest develop
ments in the kidnapping case we're dis
oussed 10 all its details:
Mr.. Cudahy does not Withdraw his
offer OF s25, 900 reward for the arrest
and conviction of the kidnappers, -
said Gen. Cowing. s'He meant what
he said when he made the offer and he
means il now. He will pay the amount
in addition TO whatever the city or any
other individual will give for the ap-
prehension and conviction Of the orimi-
nails. He will give the city the control
of the payment of it, to be used with
what they desire to pay as reward.
/ regard as a big bluff the last letter
of the kidnappers, threatening the
murder of the boy if the reward were
not Withdrawn by Mr.. Cudahy. To
submit would Ee TO invite all kinds of
impositions.
"The interest that IL felt in the case
by people all over the country is shown
by the telegram from Gen. Anson Mills,
who offers to pay $500 toward making
up big reward. 1t would not surprise
me at all to see a reward Of 800, 600
mads up to incite people to extra exer-
tion to bring about the conviction Of
the parties who kidnapped this boy.
