St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1893-11-14

suspected IL, the GLOBE bureau learned
of his flight from the country, the port
from which he sailed, and the changes
he had made, both IN dress and personal
appearance. We give his picture as he
last appeared in Minneapolis, but when
he returns with clean-shaven face,
save mustache, even the men who
have loaned him money will scarcely
know him.
Knowing that he could be found if
proper effort was made. the GLOBE
finally demanded action of the authori-
ties. The demand was made single
handed but persistently, and at last the
county commissioners, spurred by the
GLoRE, were aroused to offer a reward
of $1,000; and then there was another
lull. which was was only broken by re-
newed activity of the GLOBE and its
detective bureau.
The storm center of operations was in
Chicago, and thither representative of
the GLOBE went, and for a second time
two weeks ago, and arranged to have
the necessary information conveyed to
County Attorney Nye, upon which he
was able to act.
Armed with the knowledge thus OBJ
tanned that Mr. Menage had assumed
the name of CA. Muller, and was living
In the city OF Guatemala, Central Amer
lea, MIR. Nye went to Washington to in
woke the aid of the government in Sc
of hn crx,i,, llA,,
Though representatives of the GLOBE
bureau were fully advised the public
only thought Mr.. Nye had gone East to
secure additional evidence against
Streeter. 1t had been given out that
Menage was in Chilli, but that was a
mere blind to throw his pursuers off the
track. The recent statement in the
GLOBE when Mr.. Nye went East that
Manages arrest was only question of
short time, was based on actual
knowledge of the situation, and was us
far as it was prudent to go without en-
dangering the ends of justice.
Gov. Nelson signed papers last week
to the state department, asking a writ

There is no extradition treaty with
Guatemala, and it is possible that there
may be considerable delay in securing
him, but the probability is that his re-
turn will be granted as another repub-
lie granted the return of Weeks. A few
weeks will probably see him in Mime
apOlis at the bar of justice.
AS shown by the schedule of his per-
sonal assets and liabilities, Menage
made number of big hauls just prior
to the suspension of the company
May IA last, his method being
to give large number of personal
notes, secured by the company, the col
lateral being fictitious and worthless.
These notes were small individually,
but large collectively. In No
