the 10Th, appeared in yesterdays Elk
aminer." 1t has interest for people IN
this section who have heard so much
about Won Arnold of late:
Baron Won Turkheim," known in
Western private detective circles as
Charles J. Arnold; the woman he has
duped, and who believes she is his le-
gal wife; Little DELI and maid and
Detective c. J. Stilwell are under police
surveillance here pending the arrival
of documents from California that may
result in the Baron" being taken back
to the Pacific Coast as prisoner.
Charles j. Won Arnold, who had ac-
knowledged in q hotel register that he
was an ordinary private citizen, to-day
reassumed his baronical title and mag
nificent airs But he spent the day ac-
companied by Private Detective Still
we'll in bobbing around from one hotel
to another, mostly through back doors,
leading the Baroness a. lively chase. Be
hind them We're several city detectives
and two indignant relatives of the
Baroness. The detectives We're threat
ening to arrest the Baron on charges
of bigamy and limited to StilWell that
they might pick him up for kidnapping
The two relatives of the Baroness
We're her uncle, Daniel McDavid, and
her brother, John Young, both of Bos-
ton. They came to town early this
morning, and. under fictitious names.
registered at the Windsor. Then they
called on Chief Joseph Kellert of the
Metropolitan Detective Agency, and
stated that one man who pretended to
be a Baron and another who was San
dataofixra n tbair- r1ipoa and
sister in hiding, and they feared these
men were trying to Kdnap her to Ger
many.
Kellert at once set out to find the
party, which had been at St Lawrence
Hall. He learned there that they had
driven away in a hurry early this
morning to the BalmOral Hotel. The
Baron and his party soon became
aware of the search being made by the
detectives, and made an even hastier
exit from the Balmoral. They We're
driven all around town, finally fetching
up at the Windsor There they took
an expensive suite of rooms, registering
under fictitious names.
But StilweIl happened to wander
down into the billiard room, where he
ran into the arms of Kellert, who had
had a description of the fat little man
in his possession for several days. Still
well admitted that he was the man who
had been chaperoning the Baronial
party across the continent whereupon
Kellert told him that he and the 9TH
ers must consider themselves under
surveillance. The charges which
would be entered, he said, were bigamy
and kidnapping He insisted on going
at once to the "Baron's" rooms, but
StilwelI sent a boy to call Won Turk
helm.
The Baron" was introduced to KEEL
lert and d lively scene followed. Won
Turkheim swore up and down that he
was a real Baron" that he had never
welded any woman other than the
Baroness" upstairs, and that he had
married her out Of pure love. He pro-
claimed that he was being prosecuted
by Attorney Hutton and Chief Lees Of
San Francisco, and declared, with q
grandiloquent wave of the hand, that
the latter was to receive 100000 if he
could keep the Baroness in America
and make her testify in the Fair will
case He said he was a Colonel in the
German army and had money galore.
Then he was introduced to his new
ly acquainted relatives from Boston.
Kellert said he would like to see the
baroness" and ascertain how she felt
about the matter. and the party went
upstairs, followed closely by the de-
tectives. The Baroness. who, ac-
cording to all Of Stilwell's accounts, be-
lieves in her husband and his castles,
was at a window gazing out upon the
sol, oh
sail to the delightful home so often de-
scribed to her by Won Turkheim, alias
Won Arnold. alias Baron Won Stein
metz. alias John Scott, alias Mr.. Henry,
etc
Stilwell had also told her of the
charms of the place which the Baron
had overlooked, including the gay
festivities which marked the annual
visit of the Emperor to Mr.. Scotts'
domains. A rap upon the door and
Kellert entered, with the remark: 4
am sorry to disturb you, madam" AS
she arose her eyes fell upon the anx-
icus features of her uncle from Bos-
ton \ moment later she saw her ia
vcrite brother John. With a melO-
dramatic shrek she threw herself into
1he latters arms and the sisters tears
fell on the cheek of the brother from
whom she had been separated so long
Kellert, hardened by years of public
police service tip-t0ed from the room,
while Stilwell rolled out after him.
An affectionate demonstration be-
tween the Baroness and her stern old
New England uncle was in progress
when the Baron" strolled into the
ROOM The Baron was indignant.
The tears Of the uncle and the brother
did not affect him. Standing with one
arm in a protective position around his
wife's shoulders he said: Il am this
woman's husband and protector. and
she will never more know neglect
After he had thus chided the East
ern members Of the family he recalled
Kellert and Stilwell. The Baron de-
clared that he would prove that all
the allegations made against him were
false. He told again about the castles
on the Rhine, and of the cobwebbed
tuns of wine in the cellars there, which
caused the Boston relatives to look
skeptical Then he told Kellert and
Brother John that if they believed he
was not telling the truth he would pay
their fares across the ocean to show
that he was taking his wife to just
tie kind of a home he said he would
give her This seemed to appease the
Boston relatives. The Baron" APP
peared willing to promise anything. and
harmony seemed once more 10 prevail
Then Won Turkheim again began tc
protest his innocence at being anything
but a real Baron, although he has
twice admitted to the Examiner cor
respondent that ne is a detective. De-
