Lahmer, 58, Passes Away in Minneap- olis— Intersting Life (Continued from Page One) In 1899, when he was but 30, he read of the Kiondike gold rush. Adventure stirred in him, and he induced a friend of his to leave home and go west with him. He wanted to make some money fo assist the financial affairs of his mother, sisters and grandparents. The boys reached Seattle, where | they separated. Latimer went to Skagway, Alaska, alone. ei2 never did reach the Klondike, but he worked with pack trains and saved his wages. He did get to meet and know many characters of the Alas- kan country, many of them later to become rich, some to be celebrated in story by Rex Beach. Worked in Idaho Mines After a year in Alaska, Mr. Lati- | mer returned to Seattle. His next| move was to the silver and lead mines in Idaho's Couer d'Alene dis-| - trict in 1900. He worked in the mines about Burke, as an assistant | to John Hayes Hammond, inter- _ ‘nationally known engineer. The strike in the Bunker Hill| and Sullivan mines at Kellogg, Ida-| ho, brcke out at this time. During the conflict miners from other dis- tricts, curious, gathered at meetings near Kellogg.

Mr. Latier was among the mine workers seized by the regular army soldiers, thrown into a bull pen, |&pout whicn was strung barbed wire. Numerous of the mine workers were kept in the bull pens for weeks. Some died from exposure, some oth- | ers became insane. After days of confinement, Mr. Latimer escaped through the barb- ed wire at night and under cover made his way to Montana, where he was safe. He then went to work in Montana, doing cow-punching and on the railroad as a section hand For nearly three years he roved the west, from Washington to the Sconcra district in Mexico. There he had some more bad luck in a rough and tough mining district. He became engaged in an alterca- tion with Mexicans. One slashed at him with a knife, nearly severing the right thumb. Returned o Alaska Leaving Sonora, Mr. Latimer |worked in gold mines elsewhere in Mexico, and then up through the United States.
