well enough. He wouldn let me talk to

man came up and said he'd arrest Mr.. Burke.
By what authority, asked Burke Then Sher-
iff Jones told him. Some little scuffling fol-
lowed or preceded this, and we got off the train.
I saw Mr.. Cornish then, and learned what it
was all about
''Was this your first intimation?'
The first. / knew nothing whatever of any
effort being made for my release. until the ar

Mr.. Frank continued his story with an ac-
count of all that TRANSFERRED in Hudson-in de-
tail substantially the same as already pub
lished in the GLOBE.
THE RE-ARREST.
The sensational feature of the whole affair
was ''the re-arrest.' Mr.. Frank was asked for
his version.
''We got on the train, myself, MIR. Cornish,
my clerk Hermann, and others. We were a
pretty jolly party. Anyway I was. Nobody
thought anything about Burke-I didn't. Just
as we were crossing the river-just at the draw
bridge, Burke looked in at the front door of the
carr
Mr.. Frank spoke like the apparit1on was
windy before him even then.
He came up to me at once and said, Frank.
wei be in Minnesota soon, and am going to
arrest you again hadn't time to say any
thing before Mr. Winters spoke up and asked
BY what authority?'
Mr.. Winters, who had come in during the
progress of the above talk, nodded his head in
orroboration.
Eat this Burke pulled out some papers with
seals on them, aud said, I have a warrant FOE
him, and l am authorized by the Governor Of
the State of Minnesota to make the arrest Z"
Mr. Winters-"And he pulled out a revolver
and threatened to shoot"
''Yes," acquiesced MIR. Frank, she pulled out
a revolver and said he wanted nobody to inter-
fere with him. At this all became excitement.
Just then he put handouts on me-"
ooh, don't say that" interposed Mrs. Frank
Cornish if he had the right and he said, L
don't know At that went towards the
forward door. The train stopped, and Burke
got off pulling after him. Mr.. Cornish got
off, so did my clerk, Hermann. Standing on
the platform Burke said to Mr.. Cornish, dom
you interfere, l know this matter be set
tied, aud Frank will be back in st. Paul within
forty-eight hours. I was taken towards a
nail-wagon, made to get in, Burke after
me. Mr.. Cornish came up, asked
if the driver took passengers
he said he did, and Cornish and Herman got in
We started towards Saltwater, travelled about a
mile, met a f"rmer wagon Burke stopped it,
hired it for $40 and he and got in it. Mr.
Cornish went on to Saltwater. Mr.. Winters
told at the junction to go to Saltwater
and get papers for Burke's arrest. When we
got in the wagon-it belonged to German
named Umber-he directed him to drive to
Lakeland, distance of eight miles. We got
there, and he hired another team from man
named Pratt. He tried to get TIMBER to drive
on, offering him $50 to do so.
Had Burke much money!"
HE had plenty. He got some at Hudson
from Leopold u Bros. from Chicago
''Please go on with your story?'
''From Lakeland we went to Hastings There
Burke was arrested by Sheriff NEWELL
"In Hastings?"
"Yes, in the Office Of the hotel. When we
got in town, he drove at once to the depot aud
asked about the train. He found out we
couldn't get away, and then he took me to the
fremont house."
''How long after Burke was arrested, did
Sheriff Harrison and Officer Rouleau come in %
why just as he was arrested"
Then Mr.. Frank feebly expressed his delight,
extreme satisfaction, -jubilant condition OF
mind at this, his second release in one day
you've told your interesting story, Mr..
Frank, for which thanks. But didn't you
have sundry conversations with Burke during
Your long ride, and what was the nature Of
them?"
"Oh, yes. He gave me to understand he was
in Leopold Bros. employ and I could settle
with them without much difficulty. He said it
was his intention to take me to station near
Chicago, and there I'd have chance to see
Leopold and fix the matter up-I said couldn' t
"How did Burke treat you?''
"Well enough. have no fault to find. He
was considerate, kind, and attentive. But he
kept a close watch on me and wouldn't give
me chance to talk to any body"
Mr.. Frank concluded by stating that he had
at no time particularly objected TO going to
Chicago. He did not fear the outcome, but
rather disliked the mode Of his conveyance.
During the recitation Of the story Mrs. Frank
interposed sundry objections She had al
ready obtained enough newspaper notoriety,
and wanted the Frank name spared from fur
Their prominence, ''Folks even point at the
house, said she.
In telling his story, Mr.. Frank wasn't vehe.
ment, nor expressed in word or manner any
sense of outraged dignity. After duly extend
ing congratulations, etc., the GLOBE man was
hidden good bye at the door by Mrs. Frank.
Burz:e's Story.
Six feet tall; a close knit frame, pleasant
face, set off by piercing black eye, small
black moustache, prominent nose, ruddy com.
plexion. An agreeable looking man, with
nothing to indicate a ''cussed'' determination
about him, is James H. Burke.
Taking advantage of a leisure moment al
lowed him by his numerous visitors, a GLOBE
man Spirited him away and got a conference
with Deputy Sheriff Burke. Burke is a
straight-fo forward talker, and when asked tc
give his version Of the affair, started out with
vigor.
''The afternoon of the 9Th, was told by
Sheriff Hoffman, of Chicago, that I would
have to go to st. Paul with {
requisition for Frank, and thai
I must bring him back. l. Was
