HIMSELF Robert Hayes Learns That His Real Name is Harry Teboe and That He Has a Sister In Charleston Charleston, S. C, Jan. 6.?Kidnap ped at Wrightsville Beach, N. C., 25 years ago, Robert Hayes, of Hauto, Pa., has just found out he has a sis ter in this city and that his name is not Hayes but Harry Teboe. July 25,1895, Harry Teboe, a child of seven years, was visiting his sis ter, Mrs. J. R. Turney, at Wrights ville, N. C. He strolled out of the house early one morning and since then has not been seen by any of his family. In the meantime Harry had been carried to Hauto, Pa., and there he grew to manhood. He was given the name of Robert Hayes. When the United States entered the war in 1917, Teboe enlisted un der the name of Hayes. He saw ser vice in France with the second divi sion and was wounded by shrapnel and gas. Finally he regained his health and returned to the United States. He found that the woman who had reared him was on her death bed. She tried to tell him of his 'identity but all that she could say was: "read the Bible." Sometime later he found her Bible and found the story of his being kidnapped, lacking his name and that of his family and their residence. Recently his sister, Mrs. J. R. Tur ney, of this city, advertised circum stances in a magazine which Hayes read. He answered the advertise ment and has arranged for a family reunion here this spring.
