ROBBED BY MExICANs.
Reno County Man Glad 70 Escap'
With His Life.

Hutchinson. Kan, Nov. Robbed OF
all he had by treacherous Mexicans anc
left sick and destitute in the interior
Of Old Mexico. Dan McGuff, an old, em-
ployee Of the High ranch. Is back home
in Kansas once more.
1t was only through the generous ac-
ton Of Carl High, his former employer,
that McGuff was saved and finally
brought back to Reno county, to make
his home for the rest of his days at
the High ranch in Troy township.
Mr.. McGuf was, years ago. manager
of the Brown ranch, south Of Hutchin-
son. Some Is years ago he located in
the interior portion of Old Mexico, en-
gaging in ranching there. He had a
lot of stock. cattle and horses and was
well fixed.
Then came the revolution with its
gangs of bandits devastating the prop
erty of Americans, mistreating and rob-
bling them, even numbering them.
Last spring word reached Carl High
that McGuff's ranch had been raided,
he had been robbed of all his property
and was sick and penniless in an in
terror town in Mexico. Mr.. High
promptly sent money to him to enable
him to reach the United States and
return home.
Later the letter was returned having
never been delivered. and Mr.. High
became very anxious, fearing that Nc
Gun had been killed. The matter
was reported to Congressman Medley
who took 1t up with the government
and a search was made for the old
man through the federal state depart
ment
McGuff was finally located at San
Francisco, where he had been sent
with other destitute fugitives from
Mexico. He was penniless and sick.
Mr.. High at once sent him money and
brought him home from San Francisco
arriving here a few days ago. He is
now at the High ranch, and he prob
ably will spend the rest Of his days
there.
