Hw' ever, Hatfield didn't know anything about that, and he started in on the everything goes plan. He found that the only thing that went was the value of his new investment, and that went so suddenly that he was somewhat dazed. The boys and girls of Broadway laughed at him and nicknamed him Farmer Hatfield. From the wreck of the Broadway Garden Hatfield cleared up fl 500. He wanted to buy another farm with this, but the backer of th Artistic club, on West Thirtieth street, told him that he waa foolish to get discouraged so soon, so they sold him their Interest in this establish ment for his 11,500. Shortly after that Police Captain Price put the Artistic club out of business, leaving Hatfield with his farm gone and pretty much everything of value gone with It. Hatfield thought It all over, and concluded that hie only chance was to get even with some one for bis own misfortunes. He thought that there must be others as easily duped as himself, and according to the story now told on th Bowery, he found one such person where he would least be expected. It seems that Simon BuUner beard that Hatfield had some money left, and he took his friend, Ignats Gombossy, around to see him. Gombossy is said to be Simons brother, but Simon dlnt tell Hatfield anything about that He just Introduced him aa tbe proprietor of the Hoffman Gardens, on Third avenue, near Thirteenth street Gombossy wanted to sell out, and offered liberal terms. The story Is that Hatfield made a small cash payment, and gave Gombossy bis notes for the balance. Then he went and saw John McGurk, the proprietor of a couple of Bowery dives,x one of which Is known as Suicide Hall. Gombossy who holds Hatfields notes, la said to be on th vergfi of apoplexy over the transaction, He didnt know there was anyOne around who considered the Hoffman Gardens worth buying.
