Become Reconciled.
Shortly before 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. UaT5n visited his wiGes
apartments, ana they talked r1r half
an hour Their Differences We're patcLed
up, and Fl Was arranged that Hdrbiu,
instead ol returning to his old rooms.
should join his wife and I've at the n
street house uutiI other arrangements
could De made.
Haroil was due to- report at ,he Navy
Yard at 4 o'clock. and fl was 2.30 when
be bade his wife good-by.
Mrs Harhiu had been greatly affect
ed by the reconciliation and begged her
husband not 20 leave her. but to take
a holiday and remain
Let the old shop go. Mrs Harbin
said through her tears "aDd lets be
happy again Tor TODAY"
Hardin patted his wife's cheek iu the
old affectiJnate way and kissed her
again. Teassuring her that all their
troubles were now over. and that when
he finished his days work ne would
come back TO her just as If nothing
had ever happened to cloud their lives.
So lac went of TO work and only once
did the thought occur to him that he
should take a holiday and return To his
vile. But me decided TO work out the
day. and was happy i'm the belief that
TIE sun had again burst through the
clouds, when john Gregg. his sOu-in-
law, rushed into the shop and told him
kramer had murdered Mrs. Harbin and
killed himself. HaTbin nearly collapsed.
He obtained leave and went directly 90

Premeditated, Friends Say.

That the murder was premeditated
there seems 10 be absolutely NO doubt
iu The minds Of those connected with
the Harblu family Kramer borrowed a
revolver from Wilmer Hardin, a SON
of Mrs HaTbiu. last summer. and had
carried St ever since. All efforts OF
young Hardin 10 regain possession Of
the revolver were uuavauiHg, he says
Kramer putting him on with one ex-
CUse or another.
Kramer had quite "a scene with Mrs
Hardin last Tuesday night over the
probable reconciliation with her hus-
band and eudeavOred 10 get her 20 go
out ou tle porch. 10 is believed he con-
temU.eted killing her then, but Mrs
Hardin refused to go out with him.
Kramer told her them as Mrs. HaTbiu
repeated later. that he would IiU her
if she returned to her husband.
Mrs. iarbfI laughed aj the threat,
not believing Kramer was serious.

Ina the meantime Mrs Harbin, when

her daughter, Mrs. John Gregg. at l3a2lb
Eleventh street southeast. to tell of The
reunion with her husband. AS she
left her home Kramer, who came and
went at wIlL entered. He asked her
where she was going and how long
sne would be gone, and she told him
she would probably be gone an hour.
When she returned Kramer was sitting
IN the dining room reading. Nobody
knows what happened I'm the fifteen
minutes that followed. but Mrs. Har-
bin 8 friends believe she ATTEMPTED to
dismiss Kramer finally. and that she
told him her husband had been there

about fifteen minutes after she had
entered the house that the three shots
rang. out and another grim tragedy was
enacted, two homes made desolate and
the sequel to another love romance

IUCKY BOY ADVANCING
AT REMARKABLE STRIDE

Fire Chief Henry Schaffnit, Jchn
O'Keefe, William Bertram and Maur-
re j. Sullivan returned to Goldfiet /
!rt night from Lucky Boy in the n.
cnIne of Bertram, after spending d lew
days in Lucky Boy and Hawthorne
looking over the camp. Chief Schaffnit
and O'Keefe are interested in the
O'Keefe lease on the Tiffany ground,
and Chief Schaffnit says that he is ex-
pecting a mineralized ledge they struck
Friday night to run into pay values
any minute and make a shipper out of
the lease.
"It's the only property in Lucky
Boy that has indications prevailing sim
liar to the character of ore on the fam
Gus Hubbard lease at the depth of 150
feet said Chief Schaffnit this mora
ing, land ! should not be surprised a.
any IN to receive word that pay
ore has been struck. The formation is
almost identical with that of the Huh.
bard lease, but we may nave to go
down 90 feet further to get the pay
"We ran into the m~ineralized VEN
last Friday night, after following a
stringer along a drift at the $50 level,
when it suddenly widened to two feet
of fairly good rock, the naturalization
extending five feet from wall to wall,
There is not enough value in the VEN
to make a shipper, however, but We
are in hopes at any moment that pay
ore will be struck further along the
vein. We are working two shifts OF
five men each, and pushing work vigor-
ously."
Chief Schaffnit says there are Ia
leases working in the camp, and that
there are about 500 men now in the
camp, the majority of them working
steadily. The Brodigan-Miller and the
eddie leases are looking good and liable
to get into shipping ore at any time.
The McAfee lease, in which Bertram is
interested, is another of the promising
leases in the camp.

HE CAN TEMPER
COPPER HARD AS STEEL

The lost art of tempering copper T.,
the consistency of case hardened steel,
is the problem that Marshall McComts,
a Southern Pacific fireman on the
Benson Lordsburg division, who is well
known in Tucson, is reported to have
recently solved.
Back in the days when McCombs
was an apprentice in his father
blacksmith shop in New York State.
the Tucson Citizen relates, he watched
his parent labor long and apparently
without result over a mass of Stubborn
red metal which refused to do his bid
ding and shape itself into metal.
After he had grown up and served
his apprenticeship in his fathers
cross roads blacksmith shop, McCombs
took up the work at which his father
had spent over four years of his life
and he believes his four years of study
and experiment have been successful
and he has at last discovered what his
father sought back in New York
a method for treating copper by means
of which it can be utilized for edged
tools and other tempered articles.
The aneients knew such a process
and turned out implements that are
to this day carrying a razorlike edge,
but modern science has been unable ta
discover the secret process used ty the
ancients of the east in tempering the
red metal. Time after time chemists
and metallurgists have struggled with
the problem without success. Now
Fireman McCombs, who runs An cnpin.
on the Benson Lordsburg division an.
works at his pet hobby between times.
believes he has discovered the lono
sought for process and he offers as evi-
denee a razor blade of tempered copper
which will shave like a highly temper
ed and hollow ground steel razor.
The improvised razor blade is as
crude looking as the copper ~instru.
ments discovered among the ruins Of
the ancient cities of the east. Temper
cracks show in the blade and the
hammer marks are visible ON the
handle. But the razor was not male
for beauty of design or as an illus.
tration Of skill in workmanship. II
was out by McCombs to
show that his process of copper tenn
