George Hartman, a laborer in the employ
of the Indianapolis & Cincinnati Traction
Company, was murdered yesterday after
noon by William Smith, fellow-workman,
with whom he quarreled. The crime took
place in cut near Julietta, where the
track gang was at work
Smith struck Hartman with the fiat side
of q shovel, and the blow was almost in
stantly fatal. Smith and Hartman had not
been the best of friends. and a few words
while the men were at work yesterday en-
ragged Smith. He jerked a shovel from the
hands of a man near by and struck Hart
man on the temple, knocking him to the
ground. After Hartman had fallen Smith
struck him again several times and then
left for parts unknown. Hartman died
several moments after the quarrel, and a
search instituted for the murderer.
but he could not be found.
CITY WAS SEARCHED.
1t was thought that he came to Indianap-
oils, and the police here were given his de-
scription and the city was patroled, but
he could not be located.
Deputy Coroner John Fergeson. of Cum
berland, was on the scene of the murder
shortly after it was committed. and Sc
cured the testimony of the witnesses.
Sheriff Metzger with several deputies,
formed a searching party and looked for
the fugitive, but to no avail. 1t is thought
that he boarded a freight train and left
the State.
Hartman, it is said, was the son of we'll
to-do parents in New York. but. owing tc
his ,wildness, had drifted away from home
Little is known of Smith, as he had beer
employed with the traction company as a
laborer but a short time. The towns in
this and surrounding States were notified
last night to be the lookout for Smith
and it is quite likely that he will be ap-
pretended before he has gone any great
distance.
A rumor that the murderer had beer
caught by a mob which was intent OF
lynching him excited many people in this
city yesterday afternoon. Sheriff Metzgel
was ready to start with posse when the
real facts became known.
