Carver, Mimi, June 25.-Chris Nor
beck, the much-wanted Minneapolis
detective whose sudden fight while his
trial was in progress on the charge of
accepting a bride caused his bondsmen
to offer a reward of 81, 900 for his re-
capture, was arrested here at 4:3O yes
terday afternoon. Minneapolis officers
are on the ground and will return the
fugitive to the scene of his alleged
crimes.
Norbeck's capture was accompanied
by Marshal Louis Goetz and J. M. Artz
without a struggle or sensational in
cident. Long debauchery, the ravages
of disease, and the constant fear Of
discovery had left the fugitive in a
condition that bordered on helpless
ness, and when he was arrested he ad-
mitted his identity without hesitation.
Although he
Declined to Discuss
his since his flight from
Minneapolis, Norbeck had apparently
been in Carver for the past twenty
four hours. His identity was estab-
lished when he went into O.. c. Brunius'
vi As wi IN ~ oSAohS wv
and asked to use the telephone. The
long distance station is located in that
store, and Norbeck's request to be
permitted to talk to Carrie Emerson
in Minneapolis startled the operator in
charge.
you are not Chris Norbeck, are
you?' queried Mr.. Brunius, who
stepped closer to have a better look
at the stranger.
Norbeck's face flushed, he looked
confused, and then, recovering, he
said: mo, but you wouldn't givea fell
low away, would you?"
INC. I don't known that I would;
but certainly not as long as l have a
dollar in my pocket" was the reply.
Admits His Identity.
Norbeck seemed to be treasured by
this answer, and then lowering his
voice, he said: "Well, I'm Norbeck, all
right, but I guess it would not be safe
to telephone, anyway. Give me some
carbolic."
you mean carbolic ~salve," said the
druggist, noticing that Norbeck's face
was covered with sores.
Yes, I guess hat will do as well as
anything else. But hurry, l want 10
get out of here. I want to get a hack.
The detective was given the salve,
and without waiting for change he
darted out the rear door. Marshal
Goetz had been attracted by the move
ment Of the stranger, and after a rev
words with the druggist. he followed
Norbeck out the door, accompanied by
Mr.. Artz. The two men overlook the
fugitive just as he was emerging from
the alley into the street.
Submitted Readily to Arrest
The sudden knowledge that he had
been caught seemed to stagger him for
b moment, and then he MS
self possession. In a moment he ad-
mitted his identity and submitted 10
arrest. He was searched but no
weapon was found on him. He hau
drugs and $315 in bills in his pocket. a
carriage was secured and the prisoner
was taken to the Chaska Jail, two
miles distant. A message was sent at
once to the Minneapolis police with as
surance that Norbeck would be heio
until officers could be sent for MIN.
Norbeck was thoroughly broker down
when the door was locked behind MIN.
He refused to discuss his traVeis Oh
refer to his case in any way
