PE0N KlDNAPS GIRL
LABoRER. STEALS BEAUTIFUL
AMERICAN GIRL.
Young Lady of Nebraska Staying ON
Ranch With Her Parents Mys.
,eriously Disappears.

A Kidnapping, such as. one has
been wont to resd about In novels OF
adventure has taken place in Mexico,
a young American girl being the vic
tim of a treacherous Mexican. Miss
Grace Rolph,. the 17-year-old daugh-
| ter Of DR.. and Mrs. >Rolph, OF Pender,
Neb., was kidnapped: last week, from
ranch near Checoy, Mex, by a
lCMek'oan peon named segunda. The
ranch is owned by G. S. Harris, OF
Lincoln, Neb. !,
He is a friend Of DR.. Rolph who
for years was one Of the promi-
nent residents of Pender. A year ago
the doctors health became such that
he felt the need Of change OF
climate and accepted the offer Of Mr..
Harris to hake his home for an IN
definite time on the ranch. His
daughter is highly cultured and OF
attractive appearance.
Segunda has long been in the en-
p1oy Of Mr.. Harris, and is more than
twice the age of the girl he kid
naped. He once killed a man, but
Mr.. Harris did notr egard him as vic
ious and trusted him. Segunda was
the ranch hunter, being exceptional
ly skillful in bringing in venison and
other wild game He prided himself
on his marksmansh and horseman-
ship. He is s-very ilnterate and una
BILE to speak a dozen words in En-
gl1sh.
sMr. Harris, who recently returned
from his Mexican property, said at
Lincoln few days ago, that Segun-
da had never, so far as he knew,
shown any particular fondness for
Miss Rolph, andlif ne had he was
quite sure it was not reciprocated. Z
The country around Checoy, while
wild and Inhabited chiefly by Mex
leans CT the lower class, has never
been regarded as lawless; and Mr.:
Harris thinks segunda will not be
protected by the natives. There are
a few other American ranchmen In
the country, and those, Mr., Harris
believes, will band together and run
down the :kidnaper.
The son Of Mr. Harris, who is man
ager of his ranch, has posted re-
ward Of $1,000 for the apprehen-
sion Of Segunda, and communication

oarsmon remarked, will known that

over" ioalani men are confident
that the Myrtle crews will not have
the clean sweep they have had in
the past They are also calm in the
belief that they viii put up a FAR
keenor struggle even II victory does
not go their way And in Myrtle
club circles the same optimism pre-
walls.
with the assurance born of a long
succession of victories the Myrtle
crews will enter the race strong in
the belief that their prowess will car
ny them through the ordeals with sue
cess.
What will no coubt prove to be one
of the most interesting features Of the
regatta is the race between the vete-
rams, Judge Robertson and Prince Gu
pid against Charlie Chillingworth and
Thompson. This special event is the
outcome of an argument as to the res
pective merits of the two pairs and in
order to settle the controversy in the
most equitable maner a race was ar
ranged and the Sam Parker trophy
was put up. Each of the four parti-
pants in this half-mile pair oar race
has done considerable training, and
the only question which now conlronts
them is "Can they come back?" With
in the past few years there have been
many instances of athletes failing to
come back after they have been
quiescent from a sporting point of
view for some time, but here all are
in the same fix and though records are
not likely to be beaten it is not beyond
the realms of possibility to imagine
that a close encounter will result when
the two crews meet.
Another interesting encounter will
be the canoe race between the cham
pion Hawaiian crew and the Outrigger
boys. The American crew has been
doing excellent work, but as they are
meeting the Hawaiians attheir own
particular game it will not be surpris.
ing if the Hawaiians win. However,
K Brown has his men we'll in hand
