GARRlSON'S FLIGHT
IS STILL UNhINDfRtD
Nothing Has SO Far Resulted FROM
the Search But an Overhauling OF
the Teeth of Wickenburg and Viein-
ity.

Not word came TO the Office Vi the
sheriff yesterday regarding the
whereabouts of ]. s. Garrison, VINO Is
being pursued on the charge OF an at
tempted criminal assault on his thlr-
teen year old step daughter, Emily
Haulot. 1t is onl- certain that he has
not tried to escape By train ana IL Is
therefore equally certain that he Is
making his way north across the couh-
try. probably through the Cave Creek
region. II is known that his wife lett
him on the banks of New River. where
she took him on Friday night.
Deputy Sheriff Jeff Adams returned
Yesterday from the north. He had gone
out the dav before as far as Wicken-
burg and with Deputy Sheriff Woods OF
Wickenburg the whole country be-
tween Beardsley and wickenburg was
covered to prevent Garrison from
reaching the railroad through the
comparatively few passes by which he
might come. All trains were also ex-
amined.
Deputy Sheriff Adams was guided
in his investigations by three points
in the description OF Garrison. his
teeth. a ring on n finger of the left
hand and his hat. The deputy sheriff
relied principally on the teeth and
il is said that he examined the teeth
of all the aliens and residents in that
neighborhood who could not give
good account OF themselves.
He boarded the north bound train
at Wickenburg on Saturday night and
saw a man whose general appearance
resembled descriptions of Garrison.
The hat was a dead ringer and the
man had a peculiar ring on finger
of the left hand. The teeth remained
to complete the chain Of evidence
against him. but the deputy sheriff
| could not see the teeth.
He addressed the man who replied
surlily and demanded to be let alone
when the deputy sheriff told him thai
he was under suspicion which could
be removed only by an investigation oi
his teeth the man made motion as II
| to reach for a gum Before he could
! finish it the deputy sheriff had CUR
under his nose and pair of handcuffs
OF him. DT. Adams then entered upor
his dental. investigation which con-
vinced him that he had the right man
one of the teeth was nearly solid gold
Garrison had such a tooth. The othel
teeth were generously sprinkled ant
shot with gold so that the deputy be
lieved the mouth OF the suspect would
ASSAY about as much as the mouth o
| Garrison. He accordingly took tn
man off the train against his vigorous
| protests. The suspect was then per
mitted to submit documentary evi
dence of his innocence. He produces
numerous letters and papers all tend
ing to show that he was somebody els
and finally convinced the deputy, tina
a mistake had been made.
DIR. Adams then set out on tour o
the numerous hobo camps in tn
neighborhood arousing the sleepers an
leading them into camp for look a
their teeth. He found none that meas
ured up to the specifications he ha
received concerning the teeth Of Gar
rison. Finally he came upon on
man whose appearance fairly we
fitted the description of the fugitive
The suspicious of the officer were fur
ther aroused by the unwillingness
the man to come forward and subm
to the required dental examination bu
he had to come. 1t was then that tn
deputy sheriff threw up his hands an
abandoned the search for the man ha
no teeth at all. There was howeve
nothing more to do. The teeth OF III

passed upon and DIR. Adams returne
