Miss A1bina Lapciz Asked the Police

She Was to Have Been Mar
ried Next Sunday


strange disappearance of Julian Rose
ievicz, Polish resident of the city
who was to have been married on
next Sunday to Miss Albina Lapciz,
comely Polish girl of the city, and
the story that the young woman has
told to the police holds all the inter-
est of the melodrama which stirs the
galleries IN the theatre.
According to the story of the girl
the play has its villain in the person
Of former sutton whom she had re-
1ected IN order that she might marry
the missing man. Koscievicz disap-
peared at 9 o'clock Sunday morning,
and since that time absolutely no
trace of him can be found. The po.
lice have searched the city from top
appeals of the young lady, but they
have been able to find no clue to the
man nor key to the mystery of his
disappearance. It is thought posi-
bic that the man has met with foul
play, but no evidence has been found
to support this theory.
Miss Lapciz is one of the best
knowm women among her people In
kenosha and she had been considered
as a belle among them. She had
been eagerly wooed by suitors during
the past two years and for some time
there had been a bitter rivalry for
her hand between Koscievicz and
John krazak. Krazak seemed to be
on tke inner circle for a long time but
short time ago the young woman
made choice between the two and de-
cided to bestow her heart and hand
on oscievicz. The fortunate man
had been the most devoted of lovers
and he had been with his wife to
be only few minutes before he dis
appeared on Sunday morning.
On Saturday afternoon he had Sc
cured the license for the wedding
and all arrangements had been COM
pleted to have the ceremony perform
ed at the Polish Church on next Sun
day morning. The bride had prepared
her wedding dress and the arrange
ments for all day celebration of the
marriage at her home had been COM
pleted when she found that the groom
to be was strangely missing. Ali day
Monday the young woman waited for
his return but when he failed to come
to her Monday evening she went to
the police and asked for their aid in
her effort to locate him. Kosciecicz
has been a model man. He is not
drinking man and is known as a hard
worker. When he left his sweetheart
on Sunday morning it is claimed that
he met Krazak and the two started
down town together. This is the last
that was seen of the groom to be.
Monday night the police managed
to find Krazak and he was taken be-
fore the District Attorney and given
a rigorous sweating, but the officials
failed to get anything out of him
which would aid them in their chase
for the missing man. Krazak gave
it as his opinion that his former rival
for the hand of his fair countryman
had not gone out of the city and
seemed to intimate that the fellow was
IN hiding, but the young woman re-
fuses to accept this theory and de-
clares that the missing man is true to
her. The police are continuing the
search today, but nothing has been
found that will aid in the solution of
the romantic tang1e.
