and admits he is very green. On getting off
a cable car rather well-dressed man said

and intend to have you arrested" Hanna
started off to avoid arrest, and noticing that
the stranger was following, told his wife to
meet him at a restaurant where thev had
eaten supper, opposite the police station.
Before joining his wife he was overtaken by
the stranger to whom he gave dollar, to
avoid arrest.
He has not seen his wife since, and
Pinkerton men now at work on the case
think that an accomplice of the man who
feeced Hanna has captured his wife in the
guise of an officer, and that the whole affair
is a conspiracy for big game A reward of
$500 has been offered by friends of Hanna's
for information as to the whereabouts of the
wife.
