HAZEL RYDER AND DOYLE.
COMING BACK TO BELFlElD

Governor Hanna on Wednesday issued
requisition papers on the governor of
Minnesota for Roy Doyle. Doyle is
wanted for the abduction of l~6-year-old
Hazel Ryder of Bel6eld. Sheriff Nichols
has gone to Minneapolis. where Doyle
and the girl are under arrest. The
story of the escapade is best told in the
following interview given by the Ryder
girl while in the Jail at the Mill city:
II just couldn't stand it any longer,
out there on the homestead. No nice
houses, II o parties to 60 to, five miles
from town. and even when I did get to
town there weren't any shows or any
thing" The pretty North Dakota Girl
sighed as she looked around the room
in the county Jail. That's why I ran
away with Roy and came here.
I'VE used to live in Indiana and
then. two years ago. my folks took
that homestead seven miles from Bel
field. and I didn't ever 60 to school
any more. All I did was to stay home
stay home all the time. Some of the
girls around Belfield had been to Min
neapolis and they all think it's fine
here, and they told about the stores
and the shows. and things like that.
that l had I've seen, and so when
Roy was going to 60 away I told him I
wanted to 60 along. And he. took me.
Now the sheriff is going t take me
back. That's all.
Officers arrived from BeIfield with q
warrant for Roy Doyle, who brought the
young girl to Minneapolis. and they
will take the girl home to her parents.
She says she was l6 years old last Sep
tember. Doyle is rs. During the har-
vest season he worked on a farm near
Bel6eld. where the girl was also en-
ployed. Christmas eve the two left
Bel6eld together, and have since been
in Minneapolis. Doyle has been work.
ing as a teamster. and the two have
been living at 1852 Fifteenth Avenue
South.
Il guess I'm sort of glad to 90 home
to my folks. but I wonder what they
will say the girl added as she con-
sidered her situation. while busying
herself with various housewifely tasks
in the matron's quarters in the Jail.
'Of course, we are going to get
married. and I thought that when a girl
was is she was old enough in Minne-
sofa, but Roy said that he couldn't get
a license. and so we didn't. It's been
fine here. going to some of the shows
the girls used to tell me about and
seeing things I never even heard of be-
fore, but now" she looked out of the
window across the dingy roofs, NOW.
we'll. I guess I'm going back to the farm
to stay" "
