SOUTH DAKOTA MAN GREW
WEALTHY IN ALASKA.
Came Home After IA Years, Found
Wife Married to Another Man, but
His Children Welcomed Him.

Mitchell, 8. D.-The Klondike coun.
try has furnished its share of romantic
stories of separated families and the
return Of wealthy individuals who
have been grub staked and returned
home with wealth untold. but there Is
more to the story of Judson Z. Lathrop
than the mere returning with gold
galore, for he finds that his wife ia
divorced and that his mother and sis.
ter have passed away. For IA years
Lathrop had not been heard from by
his relatives, and 1t was generally be-
lieved he was dead.
Fourteen years ago Mr.. Lathrop was
travelling on the road for a milling
company, but very little of his money
went for the comforts of his family;
in fact, he did very little to support
them, and they were left more or less
to their own devices. This was due
to the fact that his love for drink took
what belonged rightfully to his wife
and children. Starting out on one Of
his trips. he left home IA years ago
and remained away until the present,
not even writing home or giving any
clew to his whereabouts.
Two weeks ago he returned to his
home at Appleton and informed his
son Alfred, who is employed in rail-
road Office at Milwaukee, of his desire
to renew his standing with his family.
His son notified him OF his acceptance
after writing to his cisters, Misses
Hazel and Bernice Lathrop, Of this
city. The meeting occurred at Sum-
init, s. d., where Mr.. Lathrop has q
brother teaching school. The Misses
Lathrop returned to their home here
to-day and gave the incidents Of their
fathers absence.
Mr.. Lathrop started for the Klondike
with $50 In cash, and on reaching
Seattle he was without funds, but was
taken through by party of friends
who were making the trip together.
On reaching the gold fields the party
went 5000 miles into the interior and
started their operations. At the end
of five years Mr.. Lathrop had amassed
$4,000, and with that he started back
home. On reaching Ketchikan he was
taken Ill with the scurvy, and for one
year he lay In the hospital, and when

sisted 1t would grow upon him.
Mr.. Lathrop will settle an annuity
on his children to provide for them as
long as they live, the details of which
will be settled this week.
Three years after Mr.. Lathrop went
away his wife secured divorce on
the ground Of desertion, and at that
time moved out to Ashton, 8. d., and
made her home with relatives. Nine
