A little girl had been so very naugh- ty that her mother found it necessary ] to shut her up in dark closet-in that family the direst punishment for the worst offense.

Mr.. Cudahy was arrested, charged
with assault and held for several

in the Hyde-Swope poisoning case,
Cudahy was released under bond Of

John P. Cudahy is a son of Michael
Cudahy, the millionaire Chicago

society belle, of Omaha, Neb.
The nature Of the injuries, which, 1t

most without parallel in the history
of personally inflicted punishment,
even for the gravest offense, and as
the details became known the greatest

needed rest and prepare for a trouble
some morrow, when they were rudely

grew more serious. Three persons
were shot, one-a girl-probably ia

pitfalls and private dwellings mashed
and disfgured by wounds from the
clubs of the police.
Another feature of the general

government had ordered the "regu-

to go to this city to guard the mint
and other government property.
