k|DNAP| INC PLOT
IS FRUSTRATED
Daughter Of Nebraska's
Governor Has Narrow
Escape.

LINCOLN, Nebr., Sept. 26.-It developed
to-day that an attempt was made last
night to kidnap the S-year-old girl of Gov
ernor Mickey. While four of the Gov
ernor's children were playing in front of
the mansion an unknown man came along
and tried to carry the oldest girl away.
The other children clung to his clothes
and screamed. The man was so badly
frightened when he saw neighbors COM
ing that he dropped the child and ran.
Governor Mickey says that the Warden
of the penitentiary reported to him twice
that a kidnapping attempt had been
prophesied by the copvicts One convict
said some time ago that such plan had
been formed as a way of getting revenge
upon the Governor for his refusal to in
terfere when William Rhea was hanged
last summer for murder. A convict who
had been in the plot says a convict soon
to be released had been assigned to kid
nap one of the children to teach the
Governor a lesson"

SECRETARY OF INTERIOR
RENDERS FINAL DECISION
Directs the Issuance of Patent in
the Oregon Swamplands

WASHINGTON. Sept. 26.-Through an
opinion prepared by Assistant Attorney
General Campbell. the Secretary of the
Interior has rendered a final decision in
the case of Morrow and others VS.. the
State of Oregon and the Warner Live
stock Company, involving a large tract of
land claimed under the swamp lands
laws The decision directs the issuance
of patent The case has been before
the department for twenty years and has
attracted much attention.
Morrow and his associates attacked the
application on the ground that the land
involved was not swamp land, but in a
decision delivered last May the depart
ment held that it was. The present Gov
ernor of the State filed a protest against
the issuance of patent on the ground
that 1t could not be issued except upon
request from him. Inasmuch as two of
his predecessors had made such request,
the department overruled his protest.

Naturally the sole topic of discussion was
the chances of the crews in to-morro"

be that Yale would win both the varsity
and the freshmen events and that the 1ouf-

However, there was a large number OF
Harvard supporters who had faith in their
crews to back their opinion by accepting
the short end of the bets which the Yale
people offered, and tonight the odds aver
aged to 3 in favor of the blue.
The arrangements for the three events
were completed tonight by the toss for po-

the choice for both varsity ana freshmen
crews.
Captain Waterman selected the west side
of the river for the four-mile varsity race.
and the east side for the two-mile freshmen
