RICH AFTER 40 YEARS, CENTER OF REMARKABLE REUNION Los Angeles Is Scene of Family Gathering, Long-Absent Member Realizing All Romantic Ambitions of Adventur ous Lad Portland Woman Predicts Triumph of Suffrage Movement City Wins Tideland Fight. LOS ANGELES. Jan. ZL-SpecUL Truth la stranger than fiction la a bromide repeated many time In lo Angeles last week, when the dwellers of this city read th romantic story of the rennloa of the Hardwlrk family hare. It had more features than many a romance of fiction, and about all the thrillers of a yellow. back the runaway boy of tender years, the sor rowing family left behind, the lure of virgin gold, battle with Indiana, fight ing with fever, struggles against pov erty, experience In strange lauds, the acquisition of a hie fortune, the acci dental discovery of his family and at last the joyrul reunion. v The romance began In Illinois, crossed the plains, a scene was laid In Mexico, another In Washington state, the accident that led to the reunion of the members of the family took place In Arizona, and the meeting of brothera and sisters a..er almost to years oc curred 'n this city. , Thirty-nine years ago J. J. Hard wlck. then a lad of 14 years, ran away from his home In Qulncy. III., because of hla desire for adventure. He waa bound for the Wet. where his youth ful mind pictured Indiana to fight, buf falo to kill and (old to find. It came to pas, contrary to the usual experi ence In real life, but true enough In fiction, that he realised all three of hla youthful dreams. From the time of his disappearance-nothing; was heard from him. All efforts on the part of his parenta to find him were In vain. This any 01 11 nma aroppeu completely out experience and of sight.

Hardwlck. who had left Arizona five years ago for Los An geles. He was so well-known through out the territory as one of the big mining men that the postmaster at Phoenix was able to give the nephew considerable information regarding this man of the same name. The young man had heard as a child about the uncle who ran away and disappeared. He got his clue In the Phoenix post- office. Telegrams and letters passed which led to the reunion early this week In this city. The brothers who came to this city for the reunion were Thomas J. Hardwlck. of Pullman. Wash., and William D. Harding, of Perce. Idaho. The sisters were Mrs. Barbara Sanders, of Pullman, and Mrs. Emily Garrett, of Meadow Lake. Wash. J. J. Hardwlck told his story to an Interesting group of boys and girls ranging from the age of 3 to CO. He is 3. Fortland Woman Elucidates mlasloner-General of Immigration at Washington, made a trip here recently to see If he could fathom the diffi culties that the local officials are ex periencing, and after a careful study of the situation decided on drastic measures, more severe than have been used at any time here. On his sugges tion the Government has chartered the Orient, the fastest power schooner In these waters and one of the swiftest on the Pacific Coaet. with which to run down the smuggling craft known to have been landing contraband Chinese and opium at various points on the Coast between San Diego and Santa Barbara. The authorities have been able practically to stop the land-smuggling across the Mexican border, but that seemingly had no effect on the amount of smuggling that went on. The smuggling ring at Ensenada, Low er California, turned to the, water route when the land route was blocked. The Orient, with which the Govern ment Intends to fight the smugglers, is 60 feet long, carries a crew of 10 men and Is equipped with rapid-fire guns. There will be no mercy shown these fellows if they show fight." said an Inspector. "They have made fools of this department on the Coast long enough, and. take it from me, there is going to be something doing in the way of miniature war at sea, for the profits in the game' of landing Chinese and opium are so big that they won't quit until they are taught a lesson. The Government has gone into the game of running them down In earnest. There Is not a pass or outlet along the border line open, to them and It would surprise the public If the people knew, how many Immigration men are guard ing this Coast, further north than many Imagine." HYDROPHOBIA EPIDEMIC IN WALLOWA PUZZLES Stockmen and Scientists Seek Explanation of Source of Dread Disease. Sheep, Cattle, Dogs and Coyotes Infected. w BT R. H. JOVAS. ALLOWA, OK.. Jan. II. (Special.) How did the present epidemic of hydrophobia reach Wallowa County? This Question ha-s been puzzling state and Federal officials, stockmen and scl entlsfs alike. The State Health Depart ment held the disease gradually worked north from Arizona and New Mexico, where It was prevalent a few years ago: many local stockmen hold that the flls ease has never been stamped out slnco the cases that terrorized the stockmen On the Idaho side of Snake River, across from Pittsburg two years ago, and that either a coyote had been bitten and Mrs. Elsie Wallace Moore, of Port land, la telling the women of Southern California what to do about the suf frage problem. That wasn't the object of her vis t here, but she hss lost no opportunity to give her sisters of this part of the state the advantage of her her views. She de- tched the political de- j trtuiiueni i v aiiiui inn wiin great in- i env na wticnea ini iirni for "equal suffrage" In her own state home, probably for fear of being com- i pelled to return.

Oregon The youthful Hardwlrk crossed the plains, killed his buffalo and lived through some harrowing experiences wltb Indians, though the Indians were not then as warlike as his youthful Imagination had pictured them. Before he was 1 he had roamed through the Western country extensively and had found about all he sought except gold. He went to what Is now Jerome. Ariz..

Thence he i hooves the wealthy women to' work for those who are working for living, as too often these women are more or less dependent on their political Views for the holding of their positions; they are not at liberty to . express their true Ideas. Almost all laboring men are anxious to assist working women for they feel that a wage-earning woman without a -vote Is a millstone about their necks. "Let me tell you the wage-earn! osr women of Washington were a most Im portant factor In the success In that state. The women of Washington knew what thorough organization meant; through all the strata of society they formed circles and mapped out work, never ceae'ng on the theory that there waa nothing left to do."

GS to 8 9 1 v Offss5 Mc. VIEW OF BIRDS OS DI SPLAT. ' WALLA WALLA. Wash, Jan. 11. (Special.) Two Judges have been attwork steadily all week grading the fowls exhibited at this, the 11th annual show of the Walla Walla Poultry Association, and they have had their hands full. The ancompanylng Illustration shows the display In only an Indifferent way. It Is pronounced by both Judges. Harry Collier, of Tacoma. and Elmer Dixon, of Oregon City, to be the best cooped show on the Coast. They say that for arrangement, symmetry and quality of coops the local show Is the best. The competitions are not slow, either, for there are more than 1000 birds entered, and they are of unusually high grade. Many freaks are entered, among, which Is a Golden Barred Plymouth Rock, most of which Is legs, and the rest tall and neck. The bird's color Is good, but shspe he lacks entirely. 1 crossed the river before the disease de veloped, or that a sheep dog, coming In contact with a rabid coyote on the Idaho side, had been bitten and later ferried across to the Oregon side where It went mad and consorted with the wild coyotes on the Oregon shore. Both these theories were Beouted by many scientists and stockmen who sought a more plausible theory for the dissemination of the disease among the canines of Wallowa County. The latest addition to the theories is that farmers In the Paradise Valley of this county wnose crops had been destroyed year after year by the hordes of ground squir rels that Infest their farms, hit upon the experiment of Inoculating the little rodents with the hydrophobia serum that they might prey upon and thus Je stroy their own kind. The serum was Imported from an Eastern laboratory for the purpose and the effects were very satisfactory until a coyote jras either bitten by a rabid squirrel or fed upon the meat of those which had died from the disease and thus became in fected. It is held that the coyote that bit little Johnny Boseley. the Flora boy who was given the Pasteur treatment In Portland a few weeks ago, was infected In thla way. The story cannot be veri fied at this time, as the persons who tried the experiinent. If the squirrels were really Inoculated, know full well the dire consequences that will attend this discovery and are keeping what Information they can give well concealed from the authorities. It Is said, on good authority, however, that a commit tee of citizens from the Paradise Valley section Is working on the case and 'f It can be proven that the germs of the disease were introduced into Wrallowa County In this manner that the guilty parties will be brought to Justice. Rabid coyotes running amuck among bands of sheep, rabid cattle pawing up the sands and driftwood along the banks of the Snake River and later rushing madly into its waters and ending their Uvea by drowning, rabid sheep batter ing their own brains against the craggy canyon walls, rabid dogs, muzzled and unmuzzled, spreading terror among the citizens of the leading cities of this county such are the stories that are arousing Federal and state officers, citi zens, stockmen and scientists alfke to I the necessity of stamping out the dis ease In the regions where it has become prevalent. While the stories are fully 90 per cent made of whole cloth, the small percent age of actual cases are enough to arouse all those In danger to the necessity of stamping out the disease at once. A Federal veterinarian will soon arrive to take personal charge of the dozen hunters now In the employ of the local Forest Service: he will also police the infected regions in the north end of the county and strictly enforce the quaran tine order requiring that cats and all dogs not actually In ute for moving stock be either muzzled or confined. Dr. W. H. Lj-tle. State Veterinarian, Is in the county assisting the local forest officials in compiling a bulletin of the latest and most approved meth ods of hunting, trapping and poisoning the coyote. This bulletin, when com pleted, will be distributed among the Government hunters, independent trap pers, stockmen and Forest Rangers, and all others who are co-operating to stamp out the spreaders of the dread disease. The County Court Is seriously considering adding $2 to the 3 bounty already paid by the state, county and Wool Growers' Association. The pelts are worth an average of J2.50 each, which would thus afford the hunter and trapper a neat Income from each coyote destroyed. Sheep Become Maddened. Many authentic stories are being told of the actions of different animals when affected. Sheep generally wan der about blindly for a short time with their tongues swollen and lolling out of their mouths, frothing badly at the mouth, and their eyes bulging from their heads. This period of lassitude is followed by one of great activity which generally ends in the sheep rushing madly against some crag and leaving his brains scattered over the rocks. Rabid coyotes lose all fear of man or dogs. They engage readily In fights with dogs and approach man with as much familiarity as a pet dog. Several Instances are told of coyotes approaching and even entering dwell ing houses. The Infected coyote has all the appearance of the mad dog. its eyes Inflamed and protruding from its head, frothing at the mouth, and tongue swollen and lolling from the jaws, head erect and thrown sl'ghtly back, con stant snarling and barking, and a con tinual motion of the extremities. A dog belonging to Mayor J. A. Burleigh, of Enterprise, recently went mad in the streets of that city. The dog was muz zled and hence did no harm, but its actions created considerable excitement before it was finally killed. J. S. Brown, a stockman residing at Cash Creek Bar on Snake River, near where Wallowa County corners with Washington and Idaho, gives some very exact description of cattle when afflicted with the disease. The tongue, lolling from the mouth, is badly swol len, the animal froths at the mouth constantly. Is continually fretful, bel lows hoarsely, and seems bent on de struction. One steer, en route to market, was af fected, and after going through all the usual symptoms, pawed up the sand and driftwood along the river, chased the dogs in charge of the herd, attacked other cattle with Its horns, charged the cowboys who were driving the herd and, without doing any serious damage, raised its head In the air and plunged Into the river. Reaching a depth well up on its sides, it stopped and plunged Its head well under the water, but was observed not to drink. After a short pause It again raised its head into the air and- plunged into the deepest and swiftest part of the stream where the eddies soon ended Its life. One especially gentle milch cow, when attacked by the rabies, became the most villous of the herd. It charged men and animals alike and failing to sate Its lust for blood, turned to the river bank and after burying Its horns a dozen times in the earth, rushed across a sahdspit. throwing sand and driftwood wildly In all directions with its horns, and plunged at once Into the deepest and swiftest part of the stream . The head was held high in the air until the water was reached, when it was plunged downward, but no . attempt was made to drink.
