SKELETON OF IS FOUND For Twenty Days the Search Had Been Ineffectual but Constantly Continued by Agonized Father and Sympathizing Friends. Special to The Citizen. Holbiook, Ariz., Aug. 5. After a search extending over twenty dayB, and covering miles of territory, the searching party looking for the re mains of little 7-year-old Maude Hatch, her parents long ago baring given up hope of ever seeing her alive again, were at last rewarded by find ing the skeleton of what had once been Maude Hatch in life, bleaching under the pitiless rays of an Arizona sun. The remains were discovered about 12:30 yesterday afternoon by her father and other members of a large searching party. The story of the disappearance of the child is unusually pathetic. On the morning of July 15 she wandered away from the camp where ner par ents were spending their vacation, several miles fiom Holbrook. She was not missed for some time, her parents thinking she was playing nearby. As the hours wore on, the parents became uneasy and her father started out to look for her. He searched until darkness came on, but could find no trace of her. He then asked assistance of his neighbors, who readily responded, and quite a large searching party was formed. The Indian scouts and Indian police from Fort Apache also joined the party. Heavy rain set in the day after the child was lost and entirely oblit DIAMOND RINGS VALUED AT $1,000 STOLEN Mrs. Rita L. Mensch, residing at the residence of J. G. Walker, 1220 West Railroad avenue, reported to the po lice department at 11 o'clock last night that she had been robbed of three diamond rings, valued at $1,000. According to Mrs. Meuch's "story, she had been to the bath room to wash her hands and had taken off her rings and laid them on the wash staud. When she left the bath room she forgot the rings and did not miss them for several hours. Upon going back to the bath room to get the rings, Airs. Mench found them missing. Sue pision at once fell upon two lit tle Mexican girls employed in the Walker home. Search was made for tin girls by the police last night, but a they had left the Walker home im n edia:e!y after their day's work was over in the evening and had failed to show up at their home in Old Albu Qi'erque, they were not ltcated until th morning. Early this morning one of the Baca girls showed up at the Walker home as usual to enter upon her day's work. The little girl was closely questioned Duke of Argyll's Birthday. Loudon, Aug. In view of the youthful appearance and active lite of the l)uke of Argyll, husband of Princess Louise of Wales, it is diffi cult for even his Intima'e acquaint ances to realize that he has reached his sixtieth year. Such is the case, however, his grace having been born at Stafford House, on August C, ISij, and will consequi ntly celebrate his sixtieth birthday tomoriow. The Duke of Argyll is keeper of the great heal of Scotland and heredi tary master of the royal household in the northern kingdom, and is also c hief of the c lan Campbell.

LOST CHILD BY PARENTS erated her footsteps so that the scouts could not trace her. The mother. In the meantime, whs almost frantic with apprehension. The father offered a large reward for the return of the child dead or alive. A party headed by him had been searching every day since the child . was lost, up and down the White , river, but did not think the child could have ctossed over the river, and on the advice of government scouts, the search was confined to this side of the river. Here, however, is whore the fatal mistake was made. It now transpires that the cMldhad crossed the river, had taken her clothes oft when she reached the op posite bank, to dry, and In some man ner wandeied away and. left her clothes on the bank. The clothes were found August 3, but no trace of the child was found then. The party continued to search and at 12:30 yes terday afternoon, found only the syel eton of the child on the praJrie. The little one must have suffered untold agony from hunger and thirst before she became delirious and finally died, alone, on the great Arizona des ert. The remains were found seven miles from the camp from which she wan dered. They are being taken home to Taylor, Ariz., for burial. The par ents, although half crazed, are thank ful to recover even the ghastly re mains of their child. and finally broke down and confessed that her sister, Rosa Baca, had taken the rings. When asked where her sis ter Rosa was, the told the officer that she was at the home of her aunt on West Copper avenue. The girl ac companied Officer Knapp to her aunt's home, where Rosa was found. When searched by the officer, the three rings were found strung on a string, which the plrl had tied around her neck and which hung under her clothes. When asked why she had stolen the rings, the girl said that she did not steal them but simply took them to keep. After the rings were recovered and returned to Mrs. Mensch, she stated that she would not prosecute the thief because the girls were quite young and this was probably their first of fense. The rings that were stolen were very valuable consisting of one large cluster ring with seven diamonds; one cluster ring set with a sapphire sur rounded by diamonds, and one ring with an emerald setting wiih three diamonds on each side.
