YOUTH STAYS KIDNAPER
ROBYN PERRY ESCAPES AFTER
BATTLING CAPToRS.
Ransum of $4,000 Was Demanded Of
Rich Mining Man BY Band Of
Greeks at Oak Creek.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Robyn NJ. Perry, general
manager of the Oak Hill Mines near
Oak Creek, Colo, and son Of Sam NJ.
Perry, president of a coal company,
lies in dangerous condition at the
Ben Male ranch twelve miles west OF
Oak Creek, following a two days bat
tie with band of kidnapers who
captured him Wednesday night. Oct
I, in his pajamas, carried him, bound
and gagged. into the mountains of
Routt county. for a $4,000 ransom,
and from whom he escaped Thursday
night only after killing one of his
guards.
Exposure, hunger and the brutal
treatment from his captors through
whole night and a day have left him
In state of complete collapse and ex-
haustion, according to his physicians.
The first word of the startling affair
reached Denver Thursday night, when
a special delivery letter was handed
to the father at his home, lao Grant
street, written in the sons hand, de-
claring he was held captive by band
of Greeks who forced him, under the
penalty of death, to demand a ransom
of $4,000 in gold.
The elder Perry Immediately or
dered special train, obtained from
Chief of Police Armstrong the SER
vices of Detectives Bell, Hollearin.
Watson and Lane, got banker out of
bed to provide the money, and started
up over the Moffat road.
In this letter the elder Perry was
directed to come to Oak Creek with
the $4,000 in gold coin, to leave the
train there and proceed up Trout
creek until halted.
AS preparations were being made at
Oak Creek for the posse to start,
telephone message was received from
the Ben Male ranch that the victim
of the bandits had arrived.
Leaving the search for the Greeks
to the officers, the elder Perry rushed
to the ranch with DR.. J. H. Cole. They
found the young man almost delirious
and set to work at once in an effort to
bring him through the crisis.
That the plot to kidnap Robert M.
Perry and extort $4,000 from his
father, Sam M. Perry, was probably
hatched in Denver was startling dis
covery which followed close on the
heels Sunday night of the arrest of
Jim Karougours near Steamboat
Springs, who is alleged to have con-
bandits who forced young Perry to
go up into the mountains and held
him there for two nights and a day.
