HARTMAN WINGED.
Deprived Of Voting Powers Of aso,7si
Shares Of Illinois Central Stock.

Chicago. Oct. ld.-E. IT. Hartman was
yesterday, BY an order Of court, deprived
of the voting power Of 2s6,73i shares of
Illinois Central In the annual meeting
Of that railroad company which opens
today. The order Of the court was prac-
tically identical with the modification
asked BY the attorneys for Mr.. Harri'
man. Both sides claim a victory, Mr.
Fish because Of the enioined shares which
will not BE- effective at the election. and
Mr.. Hartman because his modification
was secured.
The shares OF stock ruled out arc those
held BY the Union Pacific Railway com
pany, the Railroad Securities company
OF New Jersey and the Mutual Life In
surance company Of New York, against
which n temporary injunction was yes.
terday issued by Judge Ball In the SUI
perior court.
Mr.. Fish Monday asked that the vot-
eng OF these shares be cnioined. The
conrt today after extensive argument
By the attorneys OF both sides, modified
the injunction by permitting the shares
to be voted under the condition that II
any one Of these shares should have a
decisive effect on any vote taken, the
entire vote is then TO be null and void.
In other words. Mr. Fish Is given by the
court handicap Of 2s6,73l votes. and in
order 10 defeat him on any motion or
resolution which comes before the an
nual meeting, Mr.. Hartman and his
friends must cast 2s6.732 votes more
than are cast by Mr.. Fish and his fol-
lowers.

ON VERMONT WARDEN
Sought Out After Great Difficulty, a

Said to Be Hunting in YER
mont Illegally.

Brattleboro, Oct. 16.--To be sought
a. 4 criminal by officers in an automo-
bile is new experience for Homer L.
Bosworth OF Springfield Mass. His
arrest on warrant issued by States
Attorney Robert G. Beacon on complaint
of State Fish and Game Commissioner
IT. G. Thomas Of stowe, was the object
of an all.day trip by County Warden
Roswell P. Frost and Deputy Sheriff
Myron p. Davis, who returned to Brat
tleboro late Monday night somewhat
ehagrined, but conscious of having done
their duty, although the net result Of the
"trip was an apology to Mr.. Bosworth
and the expenditure of considerable
money, with no certainty Of getting the
expense account allowed by the state.
Mr.. Bosworth is one Of party Of
three prominent men who are hunting
partridge and wo0dcock In South Lon
donderry. The two others are DR. Jo-
seph r. Herrick Of Springfield and Rev.

ing of deer when he received directions
from the state commissioner To appre
+hend Bosworth at once, his license being
irregular In that it was bought Of
another man, Harry Haus Of Spring
field, TO hunt under a purchased license
was clearly in violation of the law, and
Officers Frost and Davis started in an
automobile for South Londonderry, near
~ 40 miles away.
On arrival the officers found Mr.. Bos-
worth with bis companions had not rel
turned from the woods. 50 they waited
at the hotel expecting to see some young
sports who were trying to be funny"
with the Vermont law. They could
hardly believe their eyes did not deceive
them when benevolent appearing old
gentleman with white hair and beard
was pointed out to them as Mr.. Bos-
worth There was q general surprise
all round and the officers were more sur
prised when they found upon examina
tion that all the licenses were entirely
regular. Explanations followed, and
then the officers apologized and started
oil cold night ride home.
The town clerk where a license IL
procured must fll out blank "stub" to
forward TO the state commissioner.
Among other things the blank must tell
where the applicant bought his gun.
Mr.. Bosworth procured his license In
Brattlehoro, but bought his gun Of
Harry Haus in Springfield. In making
out the stub the clerk unintentionally
stated that the license, instead Of the
gun. was bought Of Mr. Haus, hence the
