Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1880-02-13

Some days ago the GLOBE made mention
OF the presence of Mr.. Arrold, detective of
the Rocky Mountain secret service, and his
departure for Chippewa county to catch his
man.
He returhed to this city yesterday with his
man.
The man in custody is G. w. Frink, an
old citizen of Montevideo, land there's a
woman in IT."
LOST WIFE.
70 make matters clear it will do to call to
mind that last fall, near the end of Novem-
Der, a party named Moore visited police
headquarters here and made inquiries for his
wife. His story was that she had been en-
gagged in business as milliner
IN Montevideo, had met with Frink there
and had eloped with him.
THE WIFE FOUND.
Nothing more was heard of this story until
Detective Arnold reached this city on or
about the 9Th inst, whep it transpired that
he had a requisition for G. w. Frink alias
G. w. Walters, who was charged with the
forcible and fraudulent abduction of one
Stella A. Moore, a married woman and q
citizen of Colorado. A warrant was duly
issued by Gov. Pillsbury requiring Sheriff A.
j. Mullen, of Montevideo, to take Frink in
charge, convey him to the State line and
there surrender him to the agent of the
State of Colorado, Detective Arnold.
AND TIE MAN.
In pursuance of this charge from the
governor, Sheriff Mullen reached this city
yesterday with Frink. The party was made
complete by Detective Arnold and Hon. T.
f. Kusppen, the latter being not only a
friend but counsel for Frink in his diff
fcuity.
From these gentlemen, all more or less ex-
cited over the matter, and communicative,
the following story was learned
THE WOMAN IN IT.
In the fall of 1873 w. A. Moore and wife
came to Montevideo, their last place
of residence being Min neapolis. Mrs.
Moore advertised and established herself as
miIliner. Moore got work when he could,
and seemed shiftless sort OF fellow. In
some way he got into Mr.. Frink's employ, at
the mill. While there he not infrequently
complained of his bad luck,
and preyed upon the SYM
pathies of his employers Moore any way
got Frink to build him house, and in this
way Frink and Mrs. Moore were made &C
quainted.
WHEN TIE SPRING TIME COMES GENTLE ANNIE.
Along in last June, Frink attentions be-
came SO ardent that general notice followed.
Still nothing was suspected, and the matter
ran along In this way until the 18Th day of
last November, when Frink disappeared
from Montevideo, ana a5 @ coincidence Mrs.
Moore dematerialized ct the same time.
These two departing at the same lime led
to tue superstition they had gone away to-
gether.
TIE ELOPEMENT.
Moore within few days added his per-
sonal confirmation 10 the general belief He
remarked that he had observed Tho growing
intimacy between his wife and Frink, and
to spare himself, his wife and Frink and
FAM lily from the shame of exposure had in
duced bis wife to leave Montevdeo. They
sclG out their millinery stock, the proceeds
being intrusted to bis wife. She had pomi-
Dally departed for Bird Island, to be Joined
by HIM, and thence they'd come to st. Paul
and begin business away from the seductive
wlles of the veteran Lothario.
AN oUrRAGEoUsLY DECEIVED HUSBAND.
He found, however, that his wife had de-
ceived him; she never went to Bird Island,
but instead had gone off with Frnk. Moore
then ostensibly began a search after the run
away couple. and it is alleged found trace of
the pair registered as man and wife at the
She rman house.
WHO IS FRINKl
There was no little agitation over all these
circumstances in Montevideo. Mr.. Frink
was the foremost citizen OF the village. He
came to the country as pioneer farmer,
to become wealthy as real estate dealer
in city lots. He was public spir-
tied citizen and eminent in everything CON
nected with the interests of the town, a
resident of the community for twenty years,
a former representative of the legislature,
etc. His downfall was not only the wonder of
his neighbors, but, an unusual thing, he was
pitied. He was believed to have been the
victim. He and not the woman had been
beguiled, was the verdict of his
fellow citizens and friends. Gossip had
scarcely become silent over the scandal, be- |
fore the agitation was renewed by the return |
of Mr.. Frink.
OFF WITH THE NEW LOVE.
He arrived at home on January 9th ult., |
snd if he gave explanation of his absence it |
was only to few trusted friends. He re-
'umed bis work or business which he had |
abandoned, and took up the sup
port of his family, which |
ne had temporarily left. end matters assumed |
he halcyon aspect of former days, before |
he advent of the Moores, male and female.
MoNrEvIDEo ALL TORE Up.
This serenity and feeling of security was
lot Of long duration. The Moores hadn't |
lone with Frink, yet. On the 9th inst. all |
Iontevideo was tore up by the arrival of De-
ective Arnold, fast upon which followed |
9rink's arrest by Sheriff Mullen.
IN DENVER.
It would seem that Frink Was not long en-
amored of Mrs. Moore-after be got her,
they toured it over the coustry until they
cached Denver,s and there agreed to separate.
