MILLION DOLLAR MANSION ON
FIFTH AVENUE WILL ALSO

New York, Sept. 14.-The will of
the late q. H. Hartman will be filed
this week, according to Robert S.
Lovett, chairman of the executive
committee of the Union Pacific. 1t is
believed that his will, which is excit-
ing more interest than any similar
document for years, will provide for
a trusteeship through which the enor-
nous Hartman railroad holdings will
be held intact and will be administer
ed under trustee. If this is correct,
then many sections of the country
will rejoice, as It viii mean that the
plans made by Hartman for the de-
velopment of various parts of the
country will be carried out. It is
known that the four million dollar

PRISONER ON CHAIN
GANG MAKES ESCAPE

A young man named Andrews, who
had been sentenced to the chain gang
for five days by Justice Murray for a
plain, ordinary drunk, and who had
served two days of his sentence, made
good his escape this morning fro.n Of
f1cer Jake Hunsaker.
The city prisoners were employed
by Hunsaker on Seventh street, there
being only two in the gang, and they
were not being guarded any too
closely.
Watchinghis opportunity. Andrews
took to his heels and ran around Mar
tins carpenter shop and up an alley
like scared deer, looking back over
his shoulder occasionally to see how
holly he was being pursued.
1t was several minutes before his
escape Was noticed by the officer
and these few minutes were enough to
enable Andrews to put considerable
daylight between himself and the min
ion Of the law. In fact, he got such
good start that he could not be
overtaken without permitting the
other prisoner. whose offense was a
graver one, to also make a getaway.
Pursuit was abandoned and Andrews
is perhaps miles out of town by this
time.
It's a good riddance, though, and It
will also serve as warning to Hun
saker to hereafter have an eye to the
windwand for prisoners who are pin
fng for freedom.

WONDERFUL PENMANsHIP
OF A HANDLES MAN

]. G. Ryan, the handless penman,
attracted a large crowd on the corner
|of Sixth street and Douglas avenue
all day by his wonderful feat of writ
ing visiting cards with both hands
and one arm severed. Twenty years
ago while returning to a ranch where
he was employed near Aberdeen. s.
D., Ryan's hands were frozen SO badly
that he had to have one amputated
at the wrist, and the other at the ell
bow. He claims to have had to prac-
tice ten years before he could even
write and then it took eight more
years for him to reach his present
standard.
When Chief of Police Ben Coles
first saw the man, he approached the
table with the intention of moving
him along. but when he observed the
real condition of the man. and recog-
nized the fact that he was really
earning his money he let him remain
unmoIested.
Ryan penned cards for an attache
of the business department OF The
Optic in Kansas City several years
ago. SO he is no novice at the pen
at which he accommodates himself
handsomely, Notwithstanding the loss
of members Of his anatomy.
