LAIR OF KIDNAPPERS Is Located By Officers After an Extended Search. HOUSE IDENTIFIED BY CUDAHY No Evidence Has So Far Been Se cured as to Identity of the Bold Outlaws. A special of Friday from Omaha, Neb., says: The result of 24 hours’ work on the part of the police of the city and half a hundred detectives has brought to light the location of the house in which Edward Cudahy, Jr., was held prisoner for nearly two days, and from whioh he was returned to hie home at a late hour Wednesday night. The house is located four miles from the city, and iu a place of easy access, but so situated as to allow the desper adoes ample opportunity to lay and carry out their plans without molesta tion from inquiring neighbors. With in easy communication with rail and wagon roads, leading in and out of Omaha and South Omaha, and on a high knoll, where sentinels could give immediate alarm in case of necessity, the one and a half story shack had been admirably chosen by the bandits. No doubt,exists in the minds of the police as to the identity of the place. Young Cudahy .himself was taken to the house and identified many features which he had recognized while g blind folded prisoner. The testimony of the neighbors is of a nature that leads every one to be lieve they have found the retreat of the abductors. Evidences show that they made a hurried departure when their night’s work was complete. Beyond locating the house in which the men were located prior to the kidnaping, the police have made no progress looking to a capture of any of the outlaws. Friday afternoon an official of the Omaha National bank confirmed Mr. Cudahy’s statement that he had withdrawn from that in stitution the $25,000 in gold, with which the latter states he paid the ransom to secure the return of his son. Miss Maud Munshaw, who lives with her parents at 3404 Grover street, first saw one of the occu pants of the house about ten days ago, when he came to her home and asked if she knew whether or not the house that was vacant above on the hillside was rented. She did not know. The next day he returned and told her when he met her in the yard that he had rented the house from Schnei derwing, the owner. He said that another man had rented it and paid $1 down for it, but had not taken it. This man Miss Munshaw describes as being about forty-five years of age, black hair and moustache, sprinkled with gray. Tuesday evening, just after dark, a spring wagon drove up to the house and two or three men got out. Wednesday morning a pony was hitch ed in front of the house, but the spring wagon and the horse were gone. GUNS WERE FREELY USED. Prominent Florida Citizens Engage In Deadly Four-Cornered Fight. A serious shooting affray took place at Sopchoppy, Wakula county, Fla., late on Thursday afternoon. and State Senator William C. Rouse Edgar Nims, a farmer, got into a dis pute with Frank Walker, turpentine dealer, about a business settlement. The lie was passed and curses and blows exchanged between Walker and Rouse. Walker drew a pistol and shot Rouse in the abdomen, whereupon Nims quickly struck Walker with brass knucks, knocking him over. Walker recovered immediately and shot Nims through the heart, killing him instantly. The parties are all prominent white |^n.

The most malignant opponent of trusts can scarcely take exception to the one which In the last ten years has developed the casein Industry of this country into one of the best In vestments for both the farmer and the manufacturer. It is not so long ago that buttermilk was such a drug on the market that It was regarded as a food for pigs or as a waste sub stance to be thrown away. This has been changed, and, where formerly the dairyman obtained nothing for the liq uld, he now converts it into casein, either in his own dairy or In a factory owned by the Casein Trust. Casein is an albumenose substance, best known to the average citizen in the form of cheese. It contains as much nitrogen as meat, more than eggs, and much more than fish. Its food value is therefore very high. Thus far this feature has not been utilized In tlio United States, all of our own casein being used for other industries, but vast quantities go to France and Ger many, where they are transformed Into artificial foods. The manufacture is now up in the millions of pounds, and is increasing annually. Some Is converted into buttons. This is done by mixing the casein with fine clay and other Inorganic materials made into a paste, rolled, stamped and baked. It makes a light, glossy and handsome button, and is much than _ • made , of . china- . stronger the one . ware alone. In the matter of small buttons and studs, it can be made iri descent or colored to suit the public fancy. Thus far In our own land casein has been put to low utilitarian purposes. By chemical treatment it is changed into a very strong glue, which is used in making veneers. Several great cooperages out West now make bar rel heads of these veneers, and save one or two pounds of weight, and at the same time get a stronger and handsomer barrel head. These ve neers are also employed for chair seats, car seats, sounding boards and piano cases. A second use is as con stituent of paper pulp. Casein is snow white, and, when mixed with wood pulp, straw pulp and similar bodies, gives a whiter and clearer product, and also one that Is less brit tle and more durable. This mixed pulp is made into paper for newspa pers, writing papers, wall paper and paper bags. The white boxes which the more enterprising shoe dealers and department stores now affect are re suits of tills industry. Casein mingled with lime makes a liquid .. covering . intermediate . . between whitewash and paint, which possesses a handsome gloss, and is very much cheaper than the latter. The lime re acts upon it and makes it both water proof and, to a certain extent, fire proof. As a finish for fine leather goods it is now employed in at least fifty of the leading works of the coun try. It Is particularly adapted for fine kids, goat skins, dog skins, calf, and sheep skins. It is also used as a finish foi the outside Of lead pencils, pen— holders, and other wooden wares.—New v iOik ..i. roa.

An interesting experiment In coin ducting a 'western ranch will he made this winter. It will be tried In Lower California and Mexico by Michigan people. Many of the old ranching methods will he done away with and in their place strictly novel and up-to date Ideas will be put in operation. The ranch Is controlled by J. Dudley Morton, of Pontiac, and his uncle, T. Morris Flower, who has been ranching in Lower California for several years, The ranch will he supplied with all the conveniences possible. A unique feature of It will be the placing of several searchlights on the mountains overlooking the ranch, thus replacing the old system of night riding to pre vent thieving. The tender of each i light will be armed with a long-range rifle, and will also be provided with a signal code by which he can flash in formation to the other light tenders ! and an J' one wb o may be out among the cattle. Each light tender will also * iave ft t hand a telephone connected w *th the nifllu ranch, the pushing of tbe button ringing an alarm bell.
