JURY FAILS TO CONVICT
ALLEGED KIONAPER GROVE
No Evidence TO Connect Pat Grove
With the Abduction Of Eddie cud.

omaha-The jury in the trial of
Pat Grove, charged with the robbery
of Edward A. Cudahy, the Omaha
packer. or $4,000 in connection with
the kidnapping of the latter's son five
years ago. Friday afternoon, after If
teen hours deliberation, brought in a
verdict of not guilty.
The kidnapping of Eddie Cudahy De-
cember 10. 1900. and his release upon
the payment by his father of $4,000
ransom. created a great sensation,
and the search for the kidnapers was
stimulated at the time by the offer of
a reward of $4,000 by Mr.. Cudahy,
1t was the belief of the authorities
that Grove and james Callahan were
the guilty parties, but no trace of
them could be found until about year
ago, when Callahan was arrested. He
was identified by young Cudahy as one
of his captors, but was released on
trial as it could not be shown that he
received any of the money and there
was al that time no law making the
kidnapping of person over 10 years of
age crime. Last October Grove
was arrested in Butte, Mont, and was
put on trial February z. There was
no evidence to positively identify
Grove as one of the kidnapers.
Grove was recently indicted in
Council Bluffs, with others, on a
charge of holding up street car.

TRIUMPH OF SHEEP MEN.
Idaho State Veterinarian Law Held to
Be Unconstitutional.

Boise, lda.--In the district court
Judge Stewart on Thursday held the
state veterinarian law demonstrations
nj. If his decision is sustained by the
supreme court 1t will wipe out the live
stock sanitary board and the office of
state veterinarian. The old state sheep
inspection act will, however, be re-
vived. It is found by the court that
the legislature sought to repeal the
latter law by mere reference to It,,
extending the duties of sheep inspec-
tor to the new Office of state veterina-
rian. The litigation arose over an or
der that all sheep south of the Salmon
river be dipped second time last year
before being driven in from the sum-
mer range. A number of sheepmen in
Washington and Canyon counties re-
fused on the ground that their sheep
were free from scab and that the
board had no authority to order them
dipped a second time.

Capitol Hill residence district, was
murdered in the dining room of his
home Friday night by a masked man,
who entered for the purpose of rob-

of cards with his wife, daughter and a
friend. The hold-up walked in unan-
nounced and, levelling two revolvers
at Caplin, demanded his money. When
Caplin emptied his pockets and his
wife had turned over all the money
she had, the robber ordered Caplin to
give him the money he had received
from the days business. Caplin
reached under the table, evidently for
stool to throw at the man, when the
latter fired, the bullet striking Cap
lin in the heart, killing him instantly.
The robber then backed out of the
