SO
STRANGE
IS TRUTH
A Man Who Was Found Dead
and Buried Here Turns
Up In Mexico.
BOLD ROUGH RIDER
Found Vgain After Years Of
Wandering and Part
Of His Life Is a
Blank.
Oae of Teddy Roosevelt' Rough
Riders whose grave has been decorat-
ed in EI Paso each Memorial day since
li'J8 ba come to life In Mexloo.
The man Is John S. Hardwiek a
number of the First United States
volunteer cavalrv under tbe next vice
r"tdeotot toe United Slates who
wa present at tbe norm log 01 baa
Juan and who etcaped from tbe Gang-
ers of fie Cuban janglee to fall a vic-
tim of dlS3ase la nls own country. Tbe
romantic story Is stranger than any
l:tia.
Tbe peeuliar feature of tbe whole
affair Is tnat while Hardwloic Is sup-
posed to be buried here and the sad oc-
currence of his death has been nearly
forgotten by people of this olty tbe
real Hard wick Is living at Mexico City
where be Is now celebrating bis mar-
riage with a beautiful girl whom be
met after going to tbe republic.
Ths girl who has already probably
become bis wife does not know tbat
two years ago bar bueband was buried
in El Paso and that the city bis re-
cords of bis dsath. But such Is tbe
case.
Whan tbe Spanish American war
broke out Hard wick was working in
the mines of Mexico. He is a native
of New Mexico territory and U oae of
tbe dead shots aid fearless riders who
made Roosevelt's famous baad of
rough rid rs celebrated tbe world over
Hardwiek comes of fighting stock
aad when the news of ihs blowing up
of the Maine by tbe Spaniards reached
him as the Mcxicaa uiae be resigned
his position aod came back to this
country knowing tbat tbe Uoiud
States would aveoge tbe death of the
Maine heroes. Hardwiek wanted to go
to Cuba with Uacle Sam's troops.
When be reacoed New Mexico a
company of U'-otevolt's cavalry was
belag formed at Santa Fe. He knew
allot tbe bojs bo bad joined tbe
trjop aad ha decided to go with them.
Hioffirrl bis services and they were
a -cepteJ.
He weal with them to Cuba and
.aitd In the storming of San Joan
all
He was pereotally complimented
Colonel Wood aod Lieutenant
by
Celmel Roosevelt for bravery and
witibs was given Lis discharge It
wa with an honorable record.
Hardwiek passed witbout teleg
woindee through t:.e Cuban tamjalgn
but at Mwotauk PoUt Long Island he
was stricken with 1-oial trjslpelas
which rapid y reduced him from a
maiit man to almost a wreck xiiia
the effect of tbe Cuban climate began J
to eho themselves ana it was seen oy
his comrades tbat bis mind was affect-
ed. He cams back to his home in New
Mexloo aod became worse. From
Santa Fe Hardwiek csme to El Paso.
That was In November 1898. He was
la a pitiable condition. He was labor-
lag under an aberration of tbe mind.
Exposure had intensified the disease
fro si which he was suffering. To
make matters wor.e he was penniless
aad suffering for the aotual necessi-
ties of life.
One day a man came to tbe office of
Dr. Howard Thompson of this city
almoat dead from exposure. The man
wat bally frozen from living out
In the mountains with scarcely any-
thing eat. II wat Hardwiek.
Dr. Thompeoa attended to the t'.ck
man' rquiremects and cured tim of
erysipelas. The man's miod was
growing worse however aod after
three or four dajs of treatment Dr.
Thompson bad the rough rider sent to
Hot?l Dleu where the sUters tock
charge of him and where the condltltn
of hit miod became better.
After remaining In tbe hospital for a
short time Hsrd wlsk escaped in a de-
mented ooodltlon and has never been
saen until a few days ago by anybody
Jn this country.
Six weeke after his escape from the
hospital the booy of a man M found
on the eastern elope of Mount Franklin
about two miles from Fort Blis. It
wad fully Identified by the soldiers at
tbe fart and by acquaintances la 1
Paio. a tbat of Hardwiek.
An Inquest was held In this city
and It was found tbat tbe man fouad
on Mount Franklin was former United
States volunteer John S. Hardwiek.
Considerable testimony was taken and
tbe question of tbe identity of the man
was settled beyond a doubt. Men who
knew him Intimately identified him
fully and completely.
Tbe body was accordingly burled at
the cemetery and on the grave stone
is Inscribed tbe nam 3 and tbe regi
ment In whioh he served during the
Spanish-American war.
Tbe following is the official record of
Mr. Hardwlca's deatb on the books of
the olty physician at the city ball:
"J. S. Hardwiek died oo'or about
tbe 16.hof January 1899. two miles
oortbwest of Fort Bliss; male 33 years
of age; occupation boiler maker;
residence and birth pia9 unknown
Cause of deatb: prepoeaeeslor an
known; lnmediate causeaulcide.Buried
at Concordia cemetery January 16
1319. J.C.R ws undertaker J. M. E'.ll.
justice of tbe peace noting coroner."
Now It is brought to light In an un-
expected manner that Hardwiek is liv-
ing In Mexico City He It a boiler
maker on the Mexican Central railroad
in tbat city and has been working at
his trade there for some time. Just
how long though Hardwiek does not
know. In his demented condition be
wandered from the hospital la this city
and may have travelled hundreds of
miles before he reached Mexico.
The news of the discovery of Hard-
wiek wa brought to this city by Cap-
tain Bloom of the river guardr. Cap-
tain Bloom met tbe man at Salado
Mexico la an eating hou where be
was introduced to him as Hardwiek. As
oooti Mr. Hardwiek found tbat
Captain B oom was from El Paso be
sent bis regards to Dr. Thompson.
Captain Bloom was ignorant of the fact
that Hardwlct was supposed to be
b jrled in a cemetery in El Pao.
Captain Bloom called upon Dr.
Thompson toe other day and in a ca-
s lal manner gave the message Hard-
wiek hl siat.
'Harwlck" said Dr. Thompson
"wby Harwlck is dead and burled in
El Paio."
"No he ln't" .aid Captain Bloom
"for I bave talced with bim at Salado
Mexico."
Captain Bloom tbea tod tbe doctor
that Hard wlok spoke of M insanity
whioh dismiss tbe po-.tlb.llty of any
doubt as to the man's identity.
Ills believed that wblie laboring
nndar tbe Insanity which affected blm
Hardwiek wandered back to Mextci
and gradually recovered from tbe t
malady. All of his experiences up to
tbe time his mind came bick.aro a per- j
fact black and be knows nothing of
what has bappeoed t him except that
he came to El Pao from Albuquerque
New Mexico In an insane- condition
acd that be was for tome time under
treatment at tbe Hotel Deu. He seet
word to Dr. Thompson -that be owes
bis life to him showing that he is able
to remember some facts.
Captain Bloom was astonished at tbe
oonsternatlon his message produced In
El Paao. To the friends of Bur. Hard-
wiek here and in New Mexloo It will
be as a voloa from tbe grata.
Tbe discovery tbat Mr. Hardwiek it
la New Mexico and cot buried here Id
an El Paso graveyard brings up two
iaterestiag questions. What will Mr.
Hardwiek do when he discovers tbat he
is legally dead and who was the man
found dead two years ago on the gray
mountain?

C0L0NIA
JUAREZ
Succeeded In Getting Up 0n
Of the Best Expositions
Ever Seen.
PCI
Of the Work Of the Mormon
Colonists In the Sierra
Madre After Twelve
Years.
Taking into consideration the Isola-
tion of Colonia Juarez and tbe fact
that the peopie of the colony depended
almost entirely upon their own resour-
ces for the exhibits and other features
of the fair tbe fair In tbat colony on
Wednesday and Thursday of this we;k
oannot be eaid to have been anything
but a grand success.
The thing most to be regretted about
the fair is that eo few of those ' who do
cot know of the wonderful resources
and talents of the Inhabitants of this
colony were there toflad these things
out. The majority of tbe attendan ts
from out of the colony were members
of other colonies people of their own
kind who are themselves resourceful
and natd no teaching.
Probably the best results from tbe
fair for the people of tbe colony will
etna' ate from tbovUit or L. jverror
Ahumatfa at this time when tbe fruits
of their Industry and talents were
collected together eo that he could see
them to tbe bebt advantage and thus
learn tbe real worth of tbe class cf
people who are populating the country
over which be rules. Tfce gcvercor
was so well pleased with tbis fir that
he f mad a known his intention of
promoting an annual Hate fair In
Chltvahua tbe first one tJ be he-Id
some time in the fall of rexo year.
Thus a benefit of the Juarez far U
already evident a3 U was the pleas-
ant scenes there tbat lett'lled tb-3 date
fair idea into the governor's mind .
The exhibit the majnity of wiii.h
were products of the toil and brawn
and brain of tbe colony were those of
fruits vegetables cereals. One t-iocfc and
poultry .educational fine artMbe dairy
ad manufactures. Besides this there
was a mineral exhiblt'made up of crcs
from Guaynopa district in the Sierra
Madre. The mineral exhibit will be
given attention in tbe mining column.
Tbe only premiums captured by non-
residents of the colony in tbe fruit ex-
hibit were first and seond on quince?
captured by Frank Spencer of Color la
Galeasa and E. W. Mortensen cf
Colonia Dublin respectively. Citi-
zens of Colonia Juarez capturing
