t wnsii't tlm greittest wonder lu tlm
world thou forUtciue to learn, 0110 day
In 181'J, when California' wenlth of
mineral was turning men's heads,
breaking apart homes and fmuilictt nnd
turning tlm tuition nlmost upsldu down,
thai Dr. SefYcerd had disnpptnrcd. It
was conjectured, mid rightly, tlint he
had started for California. Tho little
home In It'iclno was broken up. tho de
serted family removed to tho old farm
house, nud when, some tlum Inter, the
dAtiirhtcr wits born, no word of the
fnther was thoni to cheer tho mother's
heart, nor wna ho again heard of for
years. Ho In thu meantime had reach
ed California, nnd, because of tho pe
culiar way of wearing his whiskers nnd
hair, became known as an Australian.
After wandering for a short timo about
the Stnto ho entered, Hnnlly, with a
prospecting party, near the latter ond
of IKM, the mining section known as
"lVadmnn'i liar.'' In Hiitto county.
The Hnr was a lively place in those
dais, not hnlf civllieed. with a rough,
cosmopolitan population, of w hlc.lt omo
tribes of Digger Indians formed n pnrt,
nod ninny wore tlm characteristic rob
lories murders nnd miscellaneous sen
utlons chronicled.
And Doc. SofTeerd was to ndd to tho
llt, for iM-foro the year hnd drawn to n
close he eloped with the jirettj wife of
a member of tho Digger tribe nnd her
daughter, then about two years old.
The matter was scarcely a nine days'
wmdor In tlm camp, nnd what Itecame
of them no one cared to Investigate,
and probably noonq of tlm residents of
the Har ever learned. Hut Doc. and
his companion, afior placing the child
In tho care of nn old Spanish woman,
who they felt assured would tako good
earn of It, roamed tho country together,
until at last tho womnn died. Finally
Doc, became disgiuted with hit roving
life, como to San Francisco, was deat
broke, and dccldod to sctUo down. Ho
did so. resumed his profession as a
homeopath, and finally retrieved his
fortunes and grow comfortably rich.
Then friends prevailed upon blm to
send for his wife. Ho did so, and ono
happy day the family was reunited,
with the exception of the son, whose
whereabout none of the family know.
When ho had grown to youtba estate
ho had conceived desire to travel,
and one day disappeared la a manner
as mysterious as Dad done his father.
He, too, came to Callfort la, and. hav
ing studied telegraphy, succeeded in
obtaining a good poslUon, the only
fault of which waa that it kept him
traveling about the country, filling the
vacancies that were constanUy occur
ring. Finally he was seat to Los An
