Young I.?dj of Nebraska Staying on
a Ranch With Her Parents Mysteriously
Disappears.
A kidnapping, such as one has
been wont to read about In novels of
adventure has takon place in Mexico,
a young American girl being the victim
of a treacherous Mexican. Miss
Grace Rolph, the 17-year-old daughter
of I)r. and Mrs. Itolph, of Pender,
Neb., was kidnapped last week, from
a ranch near Checoy, Mex., by a
Mek'o.n peon named Segunda. The
ranch is owned by G. S. Harris, of
Lincoln, Neb.
lie is a friend of Dr. Itolph who
for years was one of the prontlj
nent residents of Pender. A year ago
| tlie doctor's health became such that
i?e felt the need of a change of
climate and -accepted the offer of .Mr.
Harris to hake his home for an indefinite
time 011 the ranch. His
a ntwlifpr hltrhlv cultured and of
attractive appearance.
Segunda has long been In the employ
of Mr. Harris, and Is more than
twice the age of the girl lie kidnaped.
lie once killed a man, but
Mr. Harris did notr ogard him as vicious
and trusted him. Segunda was
the ranch hunter, being exceptionally
skillful In bringing in venison and
other wild same Ho prided himself
on his marksmanship and horsemanship.
He is very Illiterate and unable
to speak a dozen words in English.
Mr. Harris, who recently returned
from his Mexican property, said at
Lincoln a few days -ago, that Segunda
had never, so far as he knew,
shown any particular fondness for
Miss Itolph, and if ne had lu; was
quite sure it was not reciprocated.
The country around Cheeoy, while
wild and inhabited chiefly by Mexicans
of the lower class, hus 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 eon of Mr. Harris, who is manager
of his ranch, has posted a reward
of $1,000 for the apprehen
sion of Segundu, and communication
has been opened with Mexican o/iicials
at Mexico City, the United States
ambassador there and the State
department ofllcials at Washington.

Woman Claims That She is the Lawfal
Wile tf a Catholic PriesL
IS SEEKING A DIVORCE
She Claim** That Louii> T. Hare, Hot
Husband, Itcally the lie v. Louis
T. McGinn, and to Prove Her Marriage
She Now liriiiKX a Suit for
Divorce.
Alleging that her husband, Loui3
T. Hare, is in reality the Uev, Louis
T. McGinn, for years widely known
as a Ho 111an Catholic priest in Brooklyn,
Mrs. Helen F. Hare will sue for
divorce this week in Keno, Nev.
The plaintiff, whose father was Hendriqk
Ilaste, a wealthy butcher of
Brooklyn, will charge desertion and
non-support.
Airs. Hare's story of love and bitterness
is stranger than any the Reno
courts have divulged, it begins
thirty years back, when she and her
husband were pupils in St. Joseph s
parocvhial school, Greeupoint, and
runs on through his education for
i h n/\/i n t Oi 1 / t L n ' o f Vt 1 lntnt
liiC ]/1 ir:i5 t J1UUU (11 k} I U vjii II o
Willoughby and Lewis avenues, to
his appointment as assistant pastor
of St, Anthony's Greenpoint, in 181)5
and his assignment to tlje Church
of St. Mary, Star of the Soa, Court
of Luquer streets, Brooklyn, in 19UU.
All this time, Mrs. Hare says,
their affection for each other continued,
and on Nov. 13, 19 02, the priest
persuaded her to go with him to the
home of the ltev. Dr. Frederick Mortimer,
rector of St. Mark's Episcopal
Church, by whom they were married.
Because of his vows, she adds,
Father McGinn assumed the maiden
u..me ol' his mother, and she became
Mrs. Louis T. flare. Dr. Mortimer,
she says, had no suspicion of the
identity of the man whose marriage
tie was solemnizing.
Mrs. Hare went to live two blocks
from St. Edward's Church, St. Edward's
street, to which Father McGinn
had been transferred. One
night her younger brother discover
ed the priest in her company. She
took her brother into the secret am.
pledged him to keep the knowledge
to himself.
By and by a baby girl was born,
and to avoid detection by her other
urouiers anu our ituuiB, iiui pciiejius
being dead, Mrs. Hare moved to another
part of Brooklyn. There sin
lived until May, 1904, when the relations
tliat existed between her and
Father McGinn were disclosed in such
a way that they were brought to the
attention of Bishop Charles E. Mellon
nell.
Bishop McDonnell took Immediate
iction, Mrs. Hare says. Oil May 14
her husband received $100 and was
ulaced aboard a steamer for Europe.
He went by direction to a Trappisi
monastery in Ireland and remained
or several years. He then returned
to the United States, being sent, Mrs
liare says, to a parish in the Soutn.
How long lie remained there sin
does not know, but she believes In,
s now somewhere in the West. In
Brooklyn it is said he came back
.or a visit not many months ago.
Mrs. Hare, who is now forty yeart
old, h. s been in Reno since last April.
She lias not been known as a
member of the divorce colony and
even among the friends she made
there her story was not known unii
a week ago. At the time of hei
marriage she was about to go on
the stage, she fays.
She had taken a course at tin
American Academy of Dramatic An
and had signed a contract to play
an ingenue p..rt. But she had taken
part iu only a few rehearsels before
she became the wife of Father McGinn,
her story runs.
The charge in her suit for divorcw
will be restricted to desertion and
failure to provide. Depositions from
friends of hers in Brooklyn will be
offered in evidence to show, she saya,
that even before her mama2e became
known she was compelled 10
support herself. llor baby died
within a year after birth.
Father McGinn won a wide circle
of friends in Brooklyn. Ilia power
over children was especially marked,
and his first great success came
when he was placed in charge of ttie
Sunday school at St. Anthony e. lie
was popular too as a preacher. When
at St. Mary a he took delight in driving
a speedy horse.
When he left St. Edward's unexpectedly
his parishioners were told
he was going into retreat in Ireland.
i-amer iwcuinn was tan, HicMMiur,
dark hatred and bright eyed?altogether
a striking figure. But on
his last appearance in Brooklyn, it
is said, he had changed eo greatly
that many who had known him intimately
did not recognize him.
Father McGinn's family was wellknown
in Greenpoint. One of his
brothers, Jainea L, McGinn, was
ch'ef clerk to Edward M. Grout when
that man was President of Brooklyn
Borough. Another brother, Aloyslus
McGinn, is connected with
the New York and New Jersey Telephone
Company. Hendrick Haste,
Mrs. Hare's father, owned much
property aloiv* Cumberland street.
Elm place and neighboring streets.

P. II. McGowan, the Washington

that even the wonderful personality
of Col. Roosevelt, the Moses who
was to pull them from the political
quagmire, has not been equal to the
occasion.
Col. Roosevelt not only fell down

his party every time he
opens his mouth. There is genuine
.'ear of him throughout the country.
Mis radicalism on certain issues is

men of his own party are swinging

country.
Meantime, while Roosevelt ha?
been ;:oing up and down the country,
talking first upon one subject

maintained a dignified silence. ID

All over the country, judging l>>

to give the Democrats and

The Stale says wnlle the pelagrra
clinic Thursday at the State Hospital
for the Insane at Columbia was
not so well attended as the previous
one, it was 110 less interesting
md in all about twenty cases of the
lisease were demonstrated. The
meeting was very informal, resolving
.t-self largely into a matter of questions
and answers and the exchange
of individual opinions and experi nc-neea.
In reply to the question of toe
causation of pellagra Dr. C. 11. Lr~"

011 the subject and ccrtsmlv loss !?
vout in his belief in the spoiled cot
theory that he was a year ago. li
thought the diagnosis of pellagra dlfllcult

In other words, that the presence
or history of skin symptoms was essential
for the diagnosis. The Italians,
however, made the diagonis
regardless of the presence or absence
of the skin lesions. It had

The disease in Italy was very mild
Dr. Lavinder sum there in two of
three mouths several hundred case*

In Italy the geography of the disease
is shifting and appears to

careful attention and a good

The speaker again deprecated th

lot entertain the opinion that pwiayra

not hesitate to bring a pellagrous
patient in his own house.
He also thought that the general
practitioners of South Carolina have

epidemiology of the dtsease; that Is,
lo collect data regarding the home

Dr. J. J. Watsan st?ated he ha*

In Italy, the speaker said, the disease

this country pellagra patients were
nortly urban and suburban and from
those in the best circumstances, physically,
