On Tuesday afternoon about O'Clock an old
man who registered as Fred Schultz, Hastings
stopped in the st. James hotel in company
with young girl about 20 years old. The
clerk of the hotel asked Mr.. Schultz if the lady
was his wife, to which he answered that she
was not, but she was the ''lady" who was going
to stay with him. The old man and the young
girl were given room together, and immed-
lately went to the room assigned them. The
lady" who called herself Miss Frnk, went
out shopping, returned with number of bum
dies, and ordered supper served in the ROOM
which was accordingly done. The couple staid
in their room all the evening, the
hours being whiled away by the twain
disposing of numerous bottles OF wine which
were ordered by Miss Frink. About IL o clock
Miss Frink appeared in the office aud told the
night clerk that she wished to leave the house
1t appears that the clerk, at least, had an eye
to business, md informed her that she could
not leave the house until the bill was paid. At
this point Schultz appeared on the scene in
state of loose undress and stated that
he had been robbed of his money and requested
the clerk to send for a policeman, but here the
persuasive powers of Miss Frink prevailed, and
the gray haired reprobate returned to his room
in company with the girl. For the conclusion
be obtained, the proprietor of the hotel, James
Dayton, being very reticent as regards
the particulars Of the affair, he
having advertised that the no.
tel was first class one," and being
afraid that the circumstances would injure his
business.
The man Schultz speaks only an original
language, composed of half German and Eng
lish, and the following is all that could be
CLEANED from him:
Schultz says that he is from Glencoe, and
first met the girl on the train on the st. Paul
Minneapolis & Manit oba railroad at Chaska
while riding to Minneapolis. He became
veay confidential and impaired to her the
fact that he had with him s. OIL in cash. The
old man then states that the last time he saw
the girl she sat on the side of the bed, and he
soon after fell asleep. and on awakening yes
terday morning about o'clock he found his
pockets and coat cut and the money gone.
There are several suspicious circumstances
connected with the affair, which SEE m to point
to other parties being connected with the mat
ter. The hackman who brought the couple to
the hotel accompanied them t. their ROOM and
it was reported yesterday that the hack driver
had left his position and was on a spree, but at
q late hour last night it was found on inquiry
at the stable that this report was not true.
The hotel proprietor states that
the girl went out OF one of the back
windows of the hotel, but how she did it Is
miracle. The police were notified of the rob-
berry, but up to a late hour last night no traces
of the woman had been found, and Schultz
was still wandering around the street in search
of her. The facts in regard to when and where
the parties came from will undoubtedly come
out to-day.
The event will probably render the St. James
hotel a popular resort for certain class Of peo-
pie and the remainder can govern them ac-
cordingly.
