good fellow went heels over

bushes, brirs and driftwood in

down in the boat on their faces

and some tried to stop the boat
for fear it would run over the

who was padding equal to a

himself. One or two of the brav-

long pole to help him out. Mr.
Wolfe, that was a pretty heavy
mar too and you ought to have
seen what a splash he made
when he struck the water. l
know you have seen the circus
fellows when they make somer-
saults quick; how the heels fly
over and you know if they were
| in water it would make an aw
full splash. Well, we soon got
things straight and were ploW

that would happen, and, to tell
the truth, we would pass through
some beautiful wide and straight

would meet with any more

the boys felt good and wanted
to see the boat fly, keeping their
eyes on me, and when they
could get their, hands on the
throttle would pull it open and
some times just as we were
about to enter a very short bend
away the boat would dash
over the small trees, through
thorns and briars and brush. some

KIDNAPPED GIRL
RETURNS AFTER
NIGHT IN SWAMP
Bride Who Ran Away From
ReScuerS Appears at Home
of Her Sister.

Mrs. Abbie Meerlongola. who wan
dered into the deep brush and timber
OF the wilderness late last night. after
she had escaped from two men who are
third time on Saturday afternoon last,
appeared at noon to-day at the home Of
her sister in Fair Ground, l.. I. Search
Ing parties had been hunting for her all
night. The accused kdnappers have
been arrested and are in the Huntington
lookup.
Mrs. Meeriongola is seventeen years
old and was married to Nicola Meerion-
COLA, a farmland on her father s-Henry
Wickes's-estate. near Huntingdon. six
months ago. The marriage followed an
elopement. but MIR. WiCkes forgave and
presented his son-in-law with piece of
land. Since then Meeriongola and his
wife have lived in apparent happiness on
the place, which is situated in South
Huntingdon.
on Oct. 10. according to the story told
by the Huntington police to-day, the
first of the remarkable series OF kidnap-
pings occurred. MeerIonyola told thu
Huntington authorities that on that day
two men. whom he describes as carrying
a revolver and knife, forced their way
into his house. while he was away, and
compelled his wife to accompany them
to a patch of woods. a neighbor, says
Meeriongola, saw the whole affair, but
apparently did not see fit TO interfere.
1t was three days later according to
the police, that the young woman re-
appeared at her fathers house. Her
clothes were torn by underbrush and
rough usage, and she told plttul
story of her sufferings at the hands of
her kidnappers. Her rather and hus-
band informed the police al that time,
but begged that all details of the
strange anair he kept secret. This. 1t
seems, was done.
Inc gir!s condition seemed SO serious
that sne WAS kept, according 10 the
story her parents tell, at their home
till she mad recovered sufficiently to re-
turn to her husbands house. II was
during her uonNalcsCence that the sec
ond attempt at her kidnapping is said
10 have occurred. The girl and her
mother were alone in the house, when
the same two men VINO had forced her
10 accompany them before appeared
il appeared that Meeriongola was nj
hama. and scared the men away with
his pistol.
IL was late last Saturday that the
same two men are said to have APP
peared again. AS on the former occa-
sion Mrs Wickes and her daughter
were aone. The two kidnappers are
said to have made the same display OF
their weapons as marked as their
previous attacks, and one OF them fired
shot at Mrs. Wickes, when she All
tempted TO save her daughter. After
terrifying the elder woman they then
says Mrs. Wickes bound and gagged
her daughter and carried her OFF.
Chief of Police Briggs and Detective
Antonio ZultlianO started after the kid
nappers on Saturday as soon as they
learned OF the third attack OF the mys-
terous men. and finally found them
late yesterday IN a sort OF clearing
deep in the woods. They were playing
cards before a smouldering fire, The
girl. apparently daZed. lay on a pile
OF brush with her hands tied behind
her hack. The two kidnappers lost no
