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

from his home In Qulncy. III., because
of hla desire for adventure. He waa

falo to kill and (old to find. It came
to pas, contrary to the usual experi

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

Last Summer a nephew, a son of his
brother. Thomas J. Hardwlck. living at
Pullman. Wulu went on business to
Phoenix Arts., and called at the post,
office for mall. lie waa told that there
was none for Mm. but that there was
some for J. J. 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.

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 reach Wallowa County?

WALLA WALLA POULTRY SHOW SAID TO BE BEST ON COAST.

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.
