Omaha, Neb.. Jan. 2.-The first ar
rest in the Cudahy kidnapping case has
been made. j. j. Grove. brother OF
Pat Grove, whom the police believe tc
be a principal in the abduction, was
taken INTO custody in Council Bluffs
Tuesday afternoon by Omaha deteH
t:ves and brought to this city. The
warrant charges Grove with the alb
duction of young Edward Cudahy on
Dec. Is. Grove consented to accom-
pany the officers across the river with
out the formality of requisition papers
They lad the necessary papers fol
the arrest of both Pat and his brother
Early in the day the police depart
ment had been given information that
either Pat Grove was making his hid
ing place in his brothers saloon, or
the brother knew more than he would
divulge abort the kidnapping, and the
letter that has been recently written
to Mr.. Cudahy threatening death OF
his son if the rewards for the arrest
of the kidnapers were not withdrawn
A diligent search disclosed no trace
OF Pat Grove, but the officers came
upon his brother asleep in a rear
room. They hastily awakened him and
took away two huge bulldog pistols
which he carried in his pockets. The
man was first taken to the Council
Bluffs station by Detective Weir, OF
the Iowa department, and then he was
conducted across the river for an eX.
animation by Chief Donahue.
When the information that Pat
Grove might be found in the saloon
was given to Chief Donahue he de.
tailed five detectives to make the ar
rests. The detectives separated before
reaching Groves place, and conceal
ing their faces in the high collars ol
tLeir overcast, strolled one at time
over the sidewalk in front OF the sa'
loon. The building was quickly sur.
rounded. When the detectives opened
the doors of the saloon and the ad'
:oining rooms the inmates were taken
of resistance. A woman attempted to
run TO the room where Grove Icy
asleep, but the 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 were found, one in each hin
he were dazed.
"What do You wart?" he demanded
1--WE are looking for you and Pat
was the response. 1--WE want Pat
most. but if we can't find him, we
want to ask you a few qrections."
Grove took the situation compl l.
Gently.
"Ill do anything | con for you, gen
tlemen. he said, "but I'll tell you right
now can't do or tell much"
While two of the detectives stood
guard over Grove until he put or
heavy clothing for ont Of doors lie
