Hartman Wanted His Man

E. II. Hartman was bent on getting the man who got ten cents from him in Tucson, as published in the Associated Press dispatches by the Silver Belt Wednesday morning. The story print ed was to the effect that one-armed beggar had got dime at the Old Pueb- To from the railway king by represent ing himself as Southern Pacific train man who had been crippled while working for the road. After parting with his dime, Hartman became sus- piciOus and instructed all the detectives and officials of the company to look out for the man and ascertain whether he really was railroad man. The fel- low was found on the rock pile at Fl Paso. Similar instructions were re- eeived in Globe, and Monday night the sheriff s office located one.armed rail road man in this city, and the man was given sleeping quarters at the county jail, although in no wise treated as a prisoner. He subsequently proved that he had not been in Tucson and that he was 8 competent railroad man, well able to work for living if the oppor- tunity offered, and so was given his freedom.
