probably will cover a wad of Herrera
money. He is confident the Chicago
lad will not disappoint his supporters.
Herrera's supporters are sure the
Mexican will land his effective punch.
The Mexican has been training hard
and looks every bit as good as when
he went into the ring with Young"
Corbett. Several times in training, it
has been necessary to caution him to
prevent the slaughter of his sparring
partners. With both men on edge no
fight ever looked more promising.

EDDIE CUDAHY TELLS OF KIDNAPPING

| explain as soon as l found some one
to identify me, and so got into the
| buggy"
He described one of the men as hav
ing dark mustache and the other a
| light one. AS they were driving along
| they passed a street car, and Cudahy
saw a motorman he knew and asked
the men to allow the street car man to
identify him, but the light man gave
the horse a slash with the whip and
did not stop. Shortly after this he was
biindfolded with light lap robe; then
he knew something was wrong.
Dark Man Talks.
The boy told about being taken to a
house on the outskirts and of spending
the night there, still blindfolded. and
in charge of the dark man. The light
man, he said, came and went during
the night and did not remain in the
rooms long. He described the house
in some detail and told how he after
ward identified ii by an outside. rickety
stairway During the night the dark
man drank considerably and became
talkative, telling about a gang he had
belonged to in Mexico which made a
practice of kidnapping people and hold
ing them for ransom. He said he was
assured nothing serious would happen
to him. He also related the trip back
home about midnight on the following
night.
Claimed Gold Was Lost.
After they had alighted from the
buggy on the way back the dark man
said the other fellow had told him that
the sack in which he was carrying the
gold secured from Mr.. Cudahy had
burst while the light man was swim
ming the creek and all the money had
been lost.
