A HOT CHASE.
Rev. Rudolph, with Two Chill.
dren, Pursued from Aspen.
IA Mixed Up Affair.

Marshal Allison received q telephone
message from Aspen last night to take
into his custody two children, Vivian
McGlynn, aged II, and Edna McGlynn,
aged 8 years, who would be found in the
care OF Rev. W. 8. Rudolph. superintsn-
dent of the Colorado Children's Home
society. The children we're to arrive on
train No. s, which they did, and Marshal
Allison saw that they were cared for,
with their alleged protector. at the
Grand hotel.
The children are the daughters of
Thomas Joseph McGlynn, a confirmed
iuebriate at Aspen and he gave the chill
dren into tho custody OF Rev. Rudolph,
the latter securing them for the society
he represents, through the means OF a
Oath OF this month.
On the 28th, which was yesterday.
when Rev. Rudolph was about to take
them out Of Aspen. he gave quit claim
deed OF the bodies Of the children to
Arthur Demarias, a we'll known citizen
Of Aspen.
On the noon tlain from Aspen Mr.
Demarias arrived for the purpose Of &C.
curing possessio4 OF the children, on the
quit claim deed given by the father.
He sought Rev. Rudolph but the latter
refused to relinquish his claim to the
children.
Rsv. Rudolph says he thinks he has a
valid claim on the children. In The
Sentinel Office this after noon Rev. Ru-
dolph voluntarily said that he would re-
turn with Mr.. Demarias to Aspen to-
night and let the courts determine who
had proper charge of the children.
He further states that the society he
represents is an honorable one and that
he wants nothing but what he is legally
entitled 10 have.
The story Of Mr. Demarais is entirely
different. He says his family had
charge OF the oldest girl, Vivian. She
was satisfied to stay and he and his wife
proposed to adopt her. Tho next girl,
Edna was living with Mrs. Wilbur.
who desired to adopt her. Tho youngest
child, Beulah, had previously been
adopted by a man by ths name of q. e
Woodward and from the latter gentle
man it appears all the trouble arose.
Woodward is quite wealthy. he has
adopted and wants to keep Buelah. On
she other. hand he desires to get the
other two girls, who are now in this city,
out Of Aspen, 90 that the little one he
has adopted will entirely forget them
and her mother and call he and his wife
father and mother This no says she
will not do go long as she is influenced by
the older girls. He is charged by Mr.
Demarais with conspiring with Rev. Ru-
dolph, to get the children out Of Aspen.
Rev. Rudolph and Mr.. Woodward it is
said, procured tho whiskey to make the
father. McGlynp, drunk.
1t looks very much as il the care Of
the children should be given to the
worthy families in Aspen who desired TO
adopt them. 1t 10 said that tho manner
in which the older girls were secured al
most shows kidnapping. Viyian was
called out Of school by . message from
Mre. Woodward, and when she arrived
at the Wood ward home she was locked
up. Edna was also taken from the home
Of Mrs Wilbur in a manner denotinR an
over anxiety to secure the chi ldren.
In this city today Rev. Rudolph is
keeping close watch on the children
He consulted James w. Bucklin about
the matter and the latter told MIN he
had right to keep the children in his
charge.
Rev. Rudolph is known to many poo.
pie here. he was formerly a minister at
Glenwood. Until June he was chaplain
Of the state penitentiary.
What the outcome will be in the mat
ter cannot be predicted.
There was no appreciable difference In
