SW OF "A 110. 11
IS TO BE WRITTEN
-. . i
Biographer " Is , Tracing Jour
neys of Famous and .
Nameless Hobo.
The story of the life of A No. 1,1a
to bo written. Of course you have
heard of A No. I, for during his day
he was said to have been the moat
famous of all tramps.' lie was a pro
fessional "hobo", the $ very highest
"bo" of them all.
C. E. Sprakllen of New York was in
Ashevllle Thursday finding out what
he fould of the doings of A No. 1
during his Visits to this city, and he
says that he has been commissioned
by: a publishing ' house to write the
story of the life of A No. 1. Where
ever this gentleman of the road stopp
ed he always left a peculiar mark,
one by which he could be followed
over the country. - Two of these
mams are in .flbheville, one Just In
side the entrance to the .Brown build- j
ing on Pack square and the other In
the general entrance to the Southern
passenger -station..
A No. 1 visited Asehville at least
twice during hia day and was well
known by the newspaper men of this
city, as he always made It a point to
visit the newspaper offices of the cit
ies where he stopped. He was a man
of about SO years of age apparently
and possessed a. high degree of in
telligence. Upon arriving In a town,
it was a custom of his to change his
road" clothes for those of a higher
grade , and he presented the appear
ance of a successful business man. It
is said that his home was originally
in New York and that his people
were prominent In the business world
He was a Jew and always refused to
tell what his right name was. Even
the man who Is to write the story
of his life does . not know his real
name, fori A No. 1 always kept his
boyhood days covered ip.
After traveling for thousands of
miles on every railroad system In the
United States and rjever meeting t 1th
an accident, .A No.' 1 was killed in a
wreck In Texas about two years ago
and buried in San Antonio. '
Mr. Sprakllen says that the only'
Inscription on his monument is, "Here
lies A No. 1, a man who never paid
a railroad fare in his life, although
he traveled more than any other ; liv
ing man. He had no enemy",
It Js said that A Vo. 1 and Jack
London were pals in the old days
when the famous author was a gen
tleman of the -road and In his-book
"The Road," London refers to this
friendship and pays a glowing trib
ute to A No. 1.
A No. 1 had wanderlust, as , per.
haps few.' other men have ever had
It and he seemed to be happiest when
going from one city to another and
always by means of the "rods" or the
"blind baggage". ,.
