time too when freight cars are be- |
ing fought for by shippers.
To him came all those who were |
troubled or oppressed. The trouble j
because they were broke the oppres- ;
sion because railroads charge for ι
passage. To them he would lend a i
sympathetic ear until the ear would !
look and feel like a phonograph j
horn in a popular 5c moving picture-
show.
If he couldn't give a pass owing I
to some severe strain of rules in case
he did his duty was to break the sad
news so gently the seeker would feel
that the road loved him like a bro-
ther and that the directors aye
even the stockholders were weep-
ing because he couldn't get it.
Many and various were the people
who asked 'or liasses and for reduc-
ed rates. Many and various were the
reasons they gave for it. ranging
from iill'jKution that the seeker had
once saved a train from wreck to the
laet that some years ago he shipped
a pig from Minneapolis and that it
went ov-v the company's lines for
three miles. More often there was a
no reason at all.
Hut it has been changed now. The
ink has grown dark on the stubs of
the once rapidly thinning passbook
The bench where tile seekers sat
and awaited their turn to soak the
railroad man for transportation is
filled with dust. The suspicious glare
is fading from the chief clerk's eyes

Hazelhaum was approached in Louis-
ville by Alstead with the informa-
tion that a prize fight strictly se-
cret of course was to be pulled off
in Council Bluffs. Thielman repre-
sented himself as a prize figher
named Casey. His opponent was call-
ed Gorman.
Haxelbaum Alstead and Thielman
made the trip together to Council
Bluffs where Hazelbaum was per-
mitted to bet more than $18000 on
Casey but the bets were all contrac-
ted with confederates of the gang
and were made with bogus $1000
bills. Finally the Casey money ran
out and the victim was induced to
bet $1000 of his own money with
j odds of 2 to 1 and Hazelbaum also
put. up his diamonds and other val-
I ttables which he valued at. anothei
j thousand.
! The fight was actually pulled ofl
! for Hazelbaum's benefit at ;i Coun-
cil Bluffs hotel. In the third round
Gorman struck Casey flush on the
mouth and ruptured a small sack
[filled with red ink. At si^ht of the
supposed blood Hazelbaum fainted.
When he came to he was warned
that the police were seeking him for
promoting a prize fight and he took
the first train home.
