The RICHARDSON MURDER.
The Belief Rapidly Gaining Ground That
the Murderer of the Millionaire VIII
Never Be Known.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Dec. 31.-The belief
is rapidly gaining ground that the
murderer of the millionaire merchant,
Frank Richardson, of this city, at Sa-
vannah, viii never be known. The
prosecution has run down almost
every theory that has come to the at
tention of the officers and all has van
ished into air. Ex-Congressman
Charles Booher, who is the prosecut-
ing attorney of Andrew county, said
last night that he probably would be
able to get hold of the domestic of
the Richardson home some time this
week. She is visiting in northern Mis-
souri, somewhere, but the officers have
been unable to locate her since the
night of the tragedy. A travelling
man, whose name has been incidental
ly mentioned in connection with the
case, has disappeared and the detec-
tives are endeavoring to locate him.
Mrs. Richardson is still confined to
her bed with nervous prostration, and
the attending physician last night
did not think she would be able to go
to the court room to-day, but would
not positively say she would not be
there

A Jury Must Be Unanimous.

Colorado has provision in its con-
stitution allowing jury in civil case
to consist of less than IL men. Under
this provision the last legislature en-
acted a law declaring that Q men on
jury of IL would be sufficient to
render verdict. The supreme court
has now declared this law to be un-
constitutional and it is probable that
all cases decided by juries impaneled
under this law will have to be retired
at great expense. The point made
by the court is that jury must he

THE CUDAHY KIDNAPPING.
The Latest Letter from Kidnapers-Pat
Grove Said to Be the Man who
Rented the Cottage.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 31.-The Cudahy
family remained at home yesterday
and, beyond giving out an exact copy
of the text of the letter received from
the kidnapers Thursday, declaring if
he does not withdraw the reward
they will kidnap other children of
his family, Mr.. Cudahy refused to see
any representative of the press, re-
marking that he was through with
the newspapers The photography
of the letter is apparently that of an
amateur as is also the writing, which
is in the same hand as the letter OF
December 10 demanding the ransom.
Detectives yesterday received in
formation which they expect will re-
suit in locating the buggy used by
the men in the abduction. Another
man has been found who positively
identified Grove as the man who
acted as a principal in the negotia'
tions with the Schneiderwinds for
the Grover street cottage.

THETRANSVAAL WAR
Lord Kitchener Sends Bad News to
London from South Africa.
Beers CAPTURE POST At HELVETIA.
Gen. Dewet Still at Large IsO-
Iated-LittIe Progress Being Made
Against the BOer Invaders in
Cape Colony.

London, Dec. 31.-The war Office
has received the following dispatch
from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria,
December 80: ''Gen. Lyttleton re-
ports that our post at Helvetia was
captured yesterday morning by the
Beers. About so were killed and
wounded and 200 taken prisoners.
Col. Kitchener reports that he is fol-
lowing with a small force in the
track of the enemy, Helvetia being
reoccupied by Reeves, who has been
reinforced from Belfast. Helvetia
was a very strong position on the
Machadodorp-Lyden railway and
was held by a detachment of the
Liverpool regiment. Am asking for
further information
Lord Kitchener, wiring from Pre-
toria, Saturday, December 20, says:
'.There is not much change in the
situation in Cape Colony. The east
ern force of the enemy appears to
have broken up in small parties at
Utrecht and to be moving about
rapidly in the same district, evident
ly waiting for support from the
north. The last report states that
the western force is moving to Car.
narvon. DeLisle and Thornycroft are
in close pursuit. French has occupied
Ventorsdorp. Clements reports that
he is opposed on the road to Rusten-
| burg. The eastern line was blown
up near Pan, and a train was held up
this morning on the Standerton line
near Wall station. Whites column
has arrived at Senekal. Knox's col.
umn and Boye's brigade are holding
Dewet from breaking SOUTH
While Lord Kitchener sends bad
news for England on the closing day
of the year, the press continues to
take a surprisingly hopeful view of a
grave situation and of revelations of
an enormously wide field of Boer ac-
tivfty. Gen. Dewet is still at large.
K mberley is isolated. The Beers are
in force enough to have captured a
strong position at Helvetia, in the
Lydenburg district, while judging
from Lord Kitchener's very recent adj
vices, no progress is being made
against the .Boer invaders in Cape Col
ony.
According TO further kilograms re-
ceived yesterday, Zerust is practically
besieged, but has provisions sufi.
Gent for five months. The garrison
at Ottoshoop has been withdrawn to
Lichtenburg.
A dispatch from Carnarvon dated
yesterday reports that the Beers who
have been threatening that point
were driven off and are being pur-
sued.
The Beers admit that in their fight
with Gen. Clements at Nooitgedacht
they lost $50 men.
All dispatches arriving in Lon
don agree that the Cape Dutch show
no inclination to rise, but on the con-
trary, appear to be tired of the war
and DESTROYS of peace. Many refuse
to supply the Beers with food and
are willing to give information to the
British regarding Boer movements.
