A SMOOTH PAIR.
A Cheyenne Girl Gives Denver De-
tectives Trouble.
She Prefers an Aged Lover to
Home and Friends.
A Mothers FruitIess Search FIR a
WiIfuI Daughter.

Dora Adair, the Cheyenne girl who ran
away from her friends here a few weeks
ago, continues to be a topic for the Den
yer papers to furnish articles of a scnsa-
tiODal tinge.
When Dora left cheyenne it was in the
company of an elderly man named Capt.
Frank A. Hubbel, who also found it nee.
essary in his business to own the names
OF Frank Morris aud Frank G. Chase.
Hubble is well known in Grand Army
CIRCLES, as he delivered a number of lee
lures upon Andersnnville prison and his
escape from that place. He is As years
old, while the fair creature he claims as
his wife is but little past II years of age.
Mrs. Adair and Lora, her oldest daugh-
ter, went to Denver and traced Dora to
the European hotel where by accident
they met the object of their search. A
stormy interview followed and the mother
begged 10 vain Tor her daughter to return
home. Dora finally consented and said
she must see her roommate first. she
lett on that mission hut has not been seen
by the relatives since, although Dave
Cook and a whole squad of city detectives
have been trying to trace her.
The whereabouts OF Dora and her aged
lover were discovered yesterday when a Mr..
Poland called at police headquarters and
said that a fellow called Frank Z. Chase
had beat him out of a bill for room rent.
His story as told to a Denver NeIos re
porter was as follows:
The fellow came to me about three
weeks ago and gave the name of Frank c.
Chase. Tic said he had been sick and
was out OF money but had prospects of
work and would pay me as soon as he
could get work. | took the man and his
wife in aud they stayed about two weeks.
Hubbel, or Chase, as be called himself,
made a confdant OF me one night and show
ing me papers told me his real name vas
Frank A. Hubbel and that he had been a
captain in the army. He also said the
girl he called his wife was afraid that her
mother. whom he described as a perfect
tYrant, and would find her aud take her
home. He also said he had a divorced
wife in Chicago and n handsome daughter
l6 years old. Hubbel was the name on
the discharge papers. On Saturday he
left without settling and late that night
a man came for his wife. The girl was IN
my room and had a letter which a mes
senger boy had left, telling her to meet a
man at Seventeenth and Larimer. 1t
was too late, hewever, when the letter was
received. The inquirer asked for Dora
and the pair remained together twenty
minutes before leaving the house. Later
IN the evening | went to that room and
found that the girl had taken everything
belonging to her."
Since these disclosures have been made
another searcher after Hubbel has come
to light. This is g. G.. Forward who
hired Hubbel to act as his agent Tor the
sale of lightning rods. Hubtel collected
SI25 and has not shown up since. When
Forward last heard from him he was at
Boulder sailing under the name of F, c.
Chase.
Mrs. Adair says that she does not be-
lieve the pair are married but if they are
Ur will be she will withdraw all objections
and leave them alone.
Meanwhile the entire detective force OF
Denver is again trying to locate the couple.
Whatever their motive for hiding and try
ing to elude Mrs. Adair may be there is
no doubt but they are pretty shrewd and
have given the ''sleuths'' OF Denver a
lively and f~ruitless chase. 1t is also GER
tam that there are some individuals in
Cheyenne who could, if they were dis
posed, give the detectives some conclusive
pointers as to the location of Dora If not
of her lover of varied aliases.
