The Attack on Lillis.
1t was last March that Kansas City
and the country generally was startled
by the encounter in Jack" Cudahy's
home between the packer and Jere
Lillis, the Kansas City banker. LilliS
was bound by Cudahy and his chauf-
feur, beaten and slashed and finally
was saved by the arrival of the police,
called by Mrs. Cudahy.
Among the details made public at
the time was the visit of Lil1is to the
Cudahy home late the night of March
6, his tete-a-tete conversation with
Mrs. Cudahy, the eavesdropping of
Cudahy and his chauffeur, and their
interruption, sudden and tragic.
Cudahy, it was reported, addressed
Lillis as the destroyer of his home"
The chauffeur disappeared after the
encounter. Cudahy was not arrested.
Lillis, after week in the hospital, de-
parted quietly from Kansas City and
now is supposed to be at summer re-
sort in the east, after months spent in
mysterious and unheralded travels.
Mrs. Cudahy has maintained, since
the affair, an attitude hostile to her
husband. and her move in asking d.
vorce was not altogether unlocked for
by those among her intimates. She
was extremely bitter against the insin-
uations she said Cudahy cast upon her
relations with Lillis and the exagger-
ated accounts she said he gave of her
friendship for the banker. Mrs. Cuda-
hy's father came to her at Kansas City
Immediately after the encounter and
remained here several days.
Since the affair Cudahy never has
been at his home. There have been
rumors that he would make attempts
70 gain the CnSfndU of hiS oh
though no such effort has been made
public After an extended trip follow
ing the encounter with Li1lis, he has
been living at the Hotel Baltimore.

LAYING STEEL AGAIN
New Outfit on Milwaukee Extension
Working in Vicinity of New
England.

New England Herald: A report
which listens good to most OF us is the
news that the new steel crew is at
work pounding in the railroad spikes
on the Milwaukee grade north of
Shields on the Cannon Ball. 1t will
be remembered that after reaching
Shields the steel crew was pulled off
and put to work on one OF the south
branches while the big bridge was be-
ing put in.
AS soon as the bridge was finished
the Milwaukee officials decided to
equip a new steel-laying outfit instead
of waiting for the outfit to finish work
on the South Dakota branch. c.. ].
Phelan was in town Sunday and re-
ported two miles of track had been
laid north of the river and that the
outfit was capable of laying three
miles of steel per day. This would
give them plenty of time to complete
the work before Oct. /. On his re-
turn from the cities Wednesday, Asa
Gardner met some of the officials at
Lennon and was informed that the
work on the Cannon Ball branch was
being rushed right along The same
train carried 100 laborers for the steel
laying crew.
