Has worked as collector in retail shoe store and may seek office work of any kind. He has a mother, father and two brothers in Dallas, Texas, and two brothers in Houston, Texas. He left Dallas, Texas, February 1st, 1913, and is supposed to have taken with him a considerable sum of money. If this man is located he should be arrested as a fugitive from justice and prompt notice given to the undersigned or to M. C. Kahn, Special Agent, Houston & Texas Central Railroad Company, Houston, Texas. B. F. BRANDENBURG, Sheriff, Dallas County, Dallas, Texas." [oval purple ink stamp at very top, stamped over the text "$250.00 Reward":] "RECEIVED MAR 13 1914 S. P. CO. SAN FRANCISCO, CAL." [S. P. CO. stands for the Southern Pacific Company (Southern Pacific Railroad). The poster mentions the fugitive was wanted by the Houston & Texas Central Railroad Company (H&TC). The Southern Pacific Company acquired a controlling interest in the H&TC. This copy of the poster was received and processed by the Southern Pacific Railroad corporate or security offices in San Francisco, California on March 13, 1914, roughly one year after Hyman A. Tobias fled Dallas.] This poster was officially authorized by Benjamin F. Brandenburg, who served as the Sheriff of Dallas County from 1912 to 1916. The crime targeted the Houston & Texas Central Railroad Company, a major economic lifeline in Texas during that era. Hyman A. Tobias was eventually apprehended, returned to Texas to face charges issued by the Dallas County Sheriff and the Houston & Texas Central Railroad. He was convicted for his multi-city offenses of forgery, embezzlement, and theft and served time in prison.
