The Klondike country has fur
nished it's share of romantic stories
of separated families and the return
of wealthy individuals who have been
grubstaked and come home with
wealth untold, but there is more to
the story of hudson e. Lathrop than
the mere returning with gold galore,
for he finds that his wife is divorced,
and that his mother and sister have
passed away. For fourteen years
Lathrop had not heard from his rela-
tives, and it was generally believed
he was dead.
Fourteen years ago Mr.. Lathrop
was travelling on the road for mill
ing company but very little of his
money went for the comforts Of his
family, in fact did very little to sup
port 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
fourteen years ago, and has never re-
turned until the present, not even
writing home or giving any clue to
his whereabouts. Two weeks ago he
returned to his home at Appleton,
and informed his son Alfred, who is
employed in railroad office at Mill
| waukee, Of his desire to renew his
standing with his family. His son no
| titled him of his acceptance after writ
| ing to his sisters, Misses Hazel and
Bernice Lathrop of Mitchell. The
meeting occurred at Summit, S. Dr. D.,
where Mr.. Lathrop has brother

Mr.. Lathrop started for the Klon-
dixie with $50 in cash, and on reach
Ing 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
Ihad amassed $4,000, and with that
he started back home. On reaching
Ketchikan he was taken sick with the
scurvy, and for one year he lay sick
in the hospital, and when he came
out he said he did not have dollar
left of his small fortune. There was
nothing for him to do but to make
the start all over again, and he met
with better results. He secured a
number of mines that were profitable
and he sold out a portion Of them
for 100000, retaining about thirty,

HOME INSPECTION GOOD.
Effects Begin to BE Felt in South Da-


kota.
The home inspection work as be-
gun this season by the Northwestern
Stockgrowers' association is already
beginning to bear fruit and Chief In
specter Brainerd at the Chicago stock
yards has announced that in future
he would not attempt to stop estrays
for any one who was in sympathy
with home inspection. So far, Will
lam Moses, the live stock detective
for the association In this section,
has prevented the shipment Of several
head Of cattle which were about to-
be shipped unlaWfully to the Eastern
markets. In some instances he had
only to call the shippers attention to
the fact that the cattle were estrays.
but in one or two cases protests were
entered and he was compelled to
quote the law, which rs to the effect
that no one can ship cattle not be-
longing to him without written au-S
thority from the owners Of the same.
The association is determined to stop
the unlawful shipment Of cattle and
seems to be quite successful

tlemen, have commenced to ship
stock, and a few days ago twenty
one cars Of cattle and four cars Of
sheep left for South Omaha. #
