Yankee Hartman Fools
His Rivals in Dog Race;
Travels While They Sleep
Dalton, Minn., Jan. 31. While
seven entries in the Winnipeg-St.
Paul dog race slept here last night, in
the belief that Fred Hartman, the
American driver would be forced to
stop for the night miles behind
them "The Yankee" as Hartman is
known to his rivals, passed through
here ln the dead of night, headed for
Ashby, Minn., eight miles southwest
of here.
During tho night efforts were made
by officials of the race to locate Hart
man but without success. It is the be
lief of some that he made his' night
control at a farm > house, and will
make his whereabouts known, only
when he arrives at -Evansjville, 19
miles from here, during the fore
noon.
When Hartman left Fergus Falls
last night he announced he would
"hit the trail" again at daylight, no
matter at what hour he tied up for
tlie night.
The townspeople at Fergus Falls
asked him to stop there. A banquet
had been prepared, but Instead of be
ing the Kuest of honor, Hartman
pushed out into the teeth of a north
west gale, and Is believed to have
covered more than fifty miles during
the day and part of the night, as
against 33 miles covered by his rivals,
who spent the night here.
