monasteries?

If this history attaches itself to a monastery like that in Canada,
what must be the condition of the monasteries and nunneries of
nations which have not the enlightenment that Canada has?

I desire to call to the attention of the reader a little history that
is not exceedingly old, and which every boy and girl is acquainted
with, as it has transpired in the past ten years--yea, later.

It was in the afternoon of a December day, in 1900. A boy, Edward
Cudahy, Jr., was walking to his father's mansion and was invited to
step into a buggy and was informed that he was under arrest. This
boy was then and there abducted, and this abduction became known by
the boy remaining away from his home that night.

The police and detectives of Omaha and the detectives from Chicago

and this boy was brought from that cottage on Grover street, unhurt,
and Pat Crow made away with his $25,000 in gold.

Cudahy was called up a number of times by telephone and was
threatened that if he did not withdraw the reward that he was
offering for Pat Crow's arrest that there would be something awful
befall him; but he resisted and would not withdraw his offer of
reward, consequently this made it necessary for Pat Crow and Eddy
McGehee, alias Burns, to leave the country.

These men were known in Omaha, St. Joe, Kansas City, St. Louis and
Chicago, not only by a number of their ilk, but also to the police
forces, consequently the nets of the law were stretched all over the
United States for these abductors.
