MANKATO, Minn., April 27.-Sensation- low
ing people of Mankato enjoyed feast today
when 1t became known that ]. B. Ogle, one
of our foremost citizens, had eloped with his
pretty typewriter girl. Mr.. Ogle is hand
some man of about thirty-five was a son of
the late Rev. ogle, pastor of the Methodist
church, of this city, and quite a favorite in
church and society circles secretary of the
Commercial club and United States court
commissioner. Miss Mary Winch, an attrac-
tive and buxom miss twenty years old, came
from Winnebago City last February to act as
stenographer and typewriter for Mr.. Ogle
and the latter's wife has long been suspicious
Of the couple and tried hard to separate
them, but was unable to do so. Mr.. Ogle
has been taking the girl riding and spending
much time with her. Miss Winch, the type
writer girl, was brought up by Mrs. Ogle's
father, who willed her considerable money
at his death about year ago. When last
seen Mr.. Ogle was driving out of town last
Thursday and it is thought he sold his team
and took a train at some neghboring town.
The facts only came to light today when it
was learned that Miss Winch boarded an
ceived the following, bearing no date or sig
nature or post mark: "Can stand the grind
no longer. Shall look up new location and
when 1 get settled if you wish you can come
and live with me- if you are willing to take
things as you find them." In an interview
Mrs. Ogle says: 81 think my husband is in
Chicago with that girl, though 1 have no
definite information. Our home has always
been happy one, and Mr.. Ogle was model
husband until very lately. 1 have tried to
separate him from the girl, but have been
unable to do so. year ago he wanted me
to deed him my interest in our home, but
refused.
HE never found me any expense to him, as
my family have furnished me with money.
My father, during his lifetime, thought as
much of my husband as though he had been
his own son. He gave Mr.. ogle his law edu-
cation, supplied his needs from time to time,
and paid out at least $4,000. My husband,
not satisfied with all this, recently wanted
me to assign to him all my interest in my
fathers estate, which 1 am glad to say
declined to do. When / got the note Satur-
day went to Winnebago City and consulted
my mother and brother. have not decided
what to do in the future
George Eygabroad. brother of Mrs. Ogle,
is in the city looking UP some matters con-
nected with Mr.. Ogle's business affairs. The
Northwestern Collection company of which
he was president, has been transferred to
parties in this city. He was supposed to
have had prosperous business OF late. His
friends have been legion, and his present
move will astonish all. 1t appears that Mr.
Ogle and Miss Winch have been infatuated
with each other for year past, and this fact
has been the only dark shadow that has
crossed an otherwise happy home covering a
period of some dozen years of pleasant mar
ried life
