Hermit Hardin Back in
the Home of His
Children.
Takes Up His Abode With His
Daughters in Pine
Ridge.
Twenty Years Was Mcurned
as Dead.

FRESNO, CAL, June III. n. Harbin,
hermit of Durango, Mexico. concerning
whose strange career THE CALL has pub
lished interesting dispatches IN the past
few davs, is now with his children again
at their home in Pine Ridge, nifty miles
east of this city.
About three months ago Pope harbin,
who is employed by the Fresno Flume
and Irrigation Company at Pine Ridge,
received word that his father, whom for
twenty years the family had mourned as
dead, was living the life of a hermit IN
the almost inaccessible Sierra Madre
Mountains of Mexico. He and his sister,
Mrs. Dora Kenyon, wife of Professor Fred
Kenyon of Pine Ridge School, sent their
father a ticket by the Southern Pacific
Company 10 bring him TO Fresno. The
old man received the ticket and set out
on his journey, of which his children
were informed. That was the last they
heard Of him until last Sunday. They
had almost given him up. but on Sunday
he arrived at his daughters home at Pine
Ridge.
The story that the old man tells reads
Ike a romance. Ii seems that il was he
who acted as guide for the Murphy family
when it crossed the Rocky Mountains in
1914. Later be became interested with the
late Senator Hearst and others in mining
and land venture. He accumulated many
hundreds of thousands of dollars anc went
10 Mexico 10 make millions. Instead of
making millions he lost all that he had
and found himself peaniless. He sought
cave in the mountains, where he lived
the life of 8 hermit ever since. As he
himself puts it:
II have been years without matches
and for many month together I have not
heard the sound of human voice. Vege-
ia bles ! have not known, but l have lived
almost entirely upon the animals that
could kill"
The old man left for Mexico shortly
after the marriage of his daughter, Mrs
Kenyon, twenty years ago. The last time
Mrs. Kenyon saw her father was on her
wedding day. When the old man learned
that he still lived in the memory of his
children, although he had been mourned
as dead by them Tor twenty years. he de-

he Was Then Overtaken By an
Attendant sni Returned to the

George Pahlow, an inmate of the Pest
house, a man cursed with the most &C
cursed Of human ills, leprosy, made a
wild dash for his liberty last evening and
for almost two hours brushed his "un-
clean" apparel against the pedestrians on
the street.
Pahlow's affiiction has not as yet

his face, and with one unaccustomed to
the dread disease he might associate for
months and escape discovery. He is still
strong in body, and the thought that lie
must remain in the pest-prison until re-

and he laid mis- plans for escape.
Last evening at o'clock, when the at
tendants were unusually busy, he silently
crept away. He made his wSy to Harri-
son street and started Tor the business
portion of the City. Ten minutes later
his absence was discovered and Attendan

learned that the Ieper was hurrying down

Over a Hundred Sinai Boats Bearing

EeldS

TACOMA, WASH, June IA great
race down the YUKON River and its head
waters is now in progress. Over 100 boats
and barges have been constructed this
spring at Lake Bennett, where portable
sawmill was placed In operation last
winter. These boats carrying between
800 and 1000 Yukoners and their luggage
are now working their way toward the
KIondvKe and Yukon gold fields. There
was much friendly rivalry in startin 6
them off and numerous bets were made as
to which parties would get to Klondyke
and other points first.
The first sawmill is running dav and
night, turning out from 1900 to 20O0 feet
every twenty-four hours. The logs are
dragge1 by horses 10 the mill where they
bring $25 per 1000. The mill has orders
which will require several weeks more TO
fill, and many men who would gladly
have bought their lumber have been
forced to Whipsaw 1t. Had the mill been
operated last fail and winter its owners
would have coined monev this season.
A letter written by A. B Thompson at
Lake Bennett on May 20 states that the
water was then open down Lake Bennett
for i've or six miles. Be yond il was
blocked with ice for several miles, but the
ice was rapidly disappearing. BY June
1t was expected the entire tlotilla would
be under sail down the lake. The last
parties TO arrive offered as high as $500
for small SC avs, but very few who mad
constructed them with great abor would
sell at any price.
