ROTARY CLUB LUNCHEON

Limericks were the order of the day
at the regular semi-monthly luncheon
of the Newberry Rotary club at the
Newberry hotel Tuesday afternoon.
A prize is offered to the Rotarian
rendering the best limerick-and suf-
flee it to say that there were limericks
galore dished out to the Rotes as they
sat around the festive board. 1t
would seem, from the vast number of
original limericks read at the lun-
cheon, that the Rotary club of New
berry has a corner on this brand OF
poetry-and much merriment was oc-
casioned by the reading of the little
poetic stabs at various and sundry
Rotes. 1t is going to be a hard mat
ter for the judges in the contest to
decide who is the best 'slimericker"
in the bunch for, to tell the pure, un-
vanished truth, every one of the en-
bryo poets deserves prize. In view
of the fact that this matter is now IN
the hands of those who are to pass
upon the limericks, it would, perhaps,
be somewhat amiss to comment upon
any of the individual efforts of the
contestants. So the subject will be
very abruptly dropped, here and now.
In the absence of President Ben
Cromer, who is out of the city, Vice
President Haskell Kibler, who is
'sstyle all the WHILE" presided with
his usual pomp and dignity. Although
far from being autocratic, this pre-
siding Rote saw to it that his orders
were strictly-and promptly-carried
out. The singing was led, as usual,
by Rotarian Earle Babb, who sang
whenever Rotarian Kibler command
ed him to do so-and only then.
I. H. Hunt, Esq, was guest of the
club, and when called upon for few
remarks, made happy little speech.
With the exception of two, who
were out of the city, every member
of the club was present at Tuesdays
luncheon. 1t was just the usual Ro-
tary abounding in good
fellowship and good cheer, with
bunch of good fellows participating.
The next meeting will be held on
the 29th inst.

He Turns Til Taper

He broke away from the farm OF his father
when he was a mere boy. He confesses, in his
memoirs, that there wasn't enough excitement
there and the work was too monotonous. His
brother set him up in business as butcher. BE
and his partner, man named Cavanaugh' found
themselves being undersold by the Cudahy Pack
ing Company. and finally they went 10 the wall
Pat Grove went to work for Cudahy and shortly
afterward began to steal from his employer
amounts that averaged about $50 day. Losing
this position and the next and the next, he
plunged boldly into crime By robbing an Omaha
landlady of her nights receipts. This, he en-
planned, was a mere practice venture IN prepars-
ton for n larger haul he intended 10 make IN
Chicago.
The Chicago venture resulted disastrously.
After sticking up the place IN true bandit fashion
he was drawn into a running pistol fight with
the police and several private citizens and was
finally captured. He was sentenced to six years

w man named PA Grove petttioned Con-
gress the other dry in behalf of the youth
81 America who are born without opportunity for
proper training and education It was assumed by
those who had never heard OF him that he was
. man who had spent his life in just such beneA-
rent projects.
There nothing in his aspect to indicate
that he had lived in any other manner save in a
way most calculated to produce the
ful lecturer and publisher that he now is There
l. nothing about him that even suggests the des-
perado, the yegg and the two-gun man. But this
Pat Grove, in that interval Of ffty-two
years that stretched from his birth on a small
farm in Iowa TO the present time has been thief
smbezzler and Ednaper. For nearly twenty
years he was an enemy Of the law. Fifteen times
and moro he battled with the police for his life
He started his career Of crime IN 1885 when

ward Cudahy, the packer Of Omaha who was to
become millionaire many times over. Fourteen
years later his series of raids on society reached
their climax when he kidnapped and held for ran
sOm. Eddie. the 15-year-old son of this same Ed
ward Cudahy.
His arrest five years later, the subsequent
trial, his amazing and unexpected acquittal,
the news sensation Of the day and resulted in the
passage of stringent laws against kidnapping In
practically every state in the Union.
Without attempting to shade off or minimize
bis crimes, Pat Grove has insisted in all the lit
eraturo he has written about criminology and his
own career that he never actually harmed a man
physically or otherwise, whenever he could pre-
vent 1t, and that he never robbed the poor. His
victims were always men Of wealth or those who
had acquired their by preying on society.
Proof Of the fact that he was regarded as
1omething Of q modern Robin Hood was fur
nished when he was arrested in Butte, Montana
for the Cudahy kidnapping. Crowds stOrmed the
fail Flowers and other gifts were sent to him
by women and hundreds Of messages wishing him
good luck were received from all parts Of the
country. When he arrived at Omaha to stand
trial be was treated like a returning eonqueror.
The kidnapping Of the Cudahy boy was the
turning point Of Pat Groves life and his trial
and aequittal marked the official close of his law
lessness. In fact, his early experiences with the
Cudahy Packing Company seemed subconsciou5ly
10 have shaped and favored his thoughts.
His whole mind and effort seemed to be directed
toward the final mulcting Of 900 from the
millionaire packer. That being accomplished he

Groves One Romance

In all Of HIS many books and pamphlets, Crows
only makes two references to having been affect
ed in his life by women he married when he
was quite young, but his wife, for some reason.
played no further part in hs career.
In the year previous to the Cudshy Kidnapping
he met young girl, whom he refers to as
'Pearl" while both Of them were living in Butte,
Montana. He befriended her when she lost her
position and was out Of funds and they lived to
gether for a short while He left Butte how
ever, and learned some time later that Pearl had
disappeared.
Eight years afterward he visited Butte on a
lecture tour. With the assistance Of a detective
he finally located Pearl in a low dance hall. When
he asked her to give up this life she laughed az
him. She refused his offers Of aid for herself
and for their son and she refused to tell him
where the boy was being kept. As none Of his
pleadings were of avail he finally left her.
Today at the age Of 80 Pat Grove finds him.

for the sins he committed against society n the

which he found himself surrounded when be was

The fact that Cudahy, along with the other
