Special to Times Republican.
Paullina, July 29-Our town is il
the midst of great sensation. because
of the arrest here, today, of a yer.
quiet resident, by a United States
marshal from Chicago, Ill.
In January last there appeared OF
our streets one day a very bright APP
pearing German gentleman, giving his
name as Peter Bertholde. just from
Baden, in the fatherland, and he could
not speak a word of English, but that
where one-half of the population speak
the German, and he seemed to have
no trouble in enquiring out a very dis
tant relative by marriage, residing here
in Paullina.
Since he came last winter he has
worked in and around Paullina. until
today, when United States Marshal Ed
St. Clair, from Chicago. arrived and
after gaining possession of evidences of
crime of said Peter sent the town
marshal out to make the arrest, and
bring the "Teutonic' gentleman to the
hotel. where he acknowledged his iden-
tity, and where it is alleged the Off
GERS found about $500 in his trunk.
He was run down by one of Pinker-
tons men from Chicago last Satur-
day, a gentleman bearing the name of
Mr.. A. Ballentne, who spent Sunday
here. but of course did not divulge his
business.
1t is alleged that the true name of
said Peter is Karl Gruenardt, and
his proper residence is Baden, Ger
many, where he was engaged in the
banking business, and also operated a
brewery and other businesses, and it
is alleged, that he explained to his
friends here, that he did not get OF
bring any such sum of money as $22,-
600, but that it is mixed in the bust
ness in Germany so that he could not
explain matters satisfactorily, and so
came away. 1t is alleged that he is
short about ninety-one thousand marks,
equal to about $4,000 on United States
money.
He has ever appeared like a very
genial gentleman, but it is the old, old
story of don't know where the money
went" and it will no doubt go hard
with him as the government of Ger
many seems to be the moving party,
and it is supposed this is due to the
fact that he was in the banking bust
ness, under German laws.
