Position.
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
is the statement of a prominent police OF
ficial who admitted that steps have been
taken looking to a raid on the place with
the cooperation of the sheriff. 1t is stated
on the same authority that recent knowl-
edge has come to the police establishing
the whereabouts of the alleged kidnaper to
a practical certainty, and that his letter
written to MIR. Cudahy week ago and
dated at South Omaha was not very mis-
leading as to his exact locality.
1t has been supposed for week past
that Grove was in hiding somewhere near
Bellevue, but the exact locality of his lair
has been kept so closely guarded that dl-
rect information was understandable.
Through information obtained it is learn
ed that Pinkerton representatives have
been working in the vicinity of Avery, and
that Friday night one of their men was
looking for information below Albright.
There are two way stations on the road to
Bellevue.
Chief of Police Donchue admitted he had
received information that Grove was hid
ing at the residence of friend, where he
was being guarded night and day, and
Lib lDca
try to discover the location OF this house,
but Chief Donahue then stated that the
cold water thrown on his search would
not deter him from prosecuting work in
the direction indicated by his informant.
1t 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 nfsy be made upon his
stronghold.
Stronghold it is in every sense of the
word, for the place is that which furnished
the notorious Vic 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
Carly, is on Bellevue island, the most in
accessible, impenetrable wilderness known
to exist in this portion of the country. Its
very inaccessibility is what is making the
Omaha police cautious, for they realize
e that an attempt to take Grove means u
| battle of no mean proportions. Hence an
: attempt is being made to get Sheriff Sart-
ger of SHARPLY county to organize posse
J 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 McCarty who dared, sim
e ole handed, to enter the veritable jungle
which protected that desperate. McCarty
had fed, but Starters reputation was en-
HANGED by his bravery. The exact action
to be taken by the police can not yet be
learned, but it 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.
