HOLD STRANGE HERMIT'S
SECRET. FIND SKELETONS
f
Dated from Edmonton, Alberta, a
dispatch was recently published in
papers in the States, relatiywfo the
strange dissapearance of Ja$fc Horn
by called the “hermit of the barren
lands” and who for years has been a
romantic figure of the North.
It was in July, 1926, that Hornby,
with his two nephews, slipped silent
ly out of Fort Smith and headed
North down Slave river for Great
Slave lake and the “chain of lakes,”
a route that leads from old Fort Rer
liance at the East end of the lake in
to the heart of the barren lands.
From that day to this no sword has
reached civilization from either of
the three men.
This in itself would not be partic
ularly remarkable, but in the mean
time, strange tales have filtered thru
from the vast lone land.
Tales brought down by the Eski
mo, of the finding of the skeletons of
three white men in a jam in the vic
inity of.. Baker lake, one of the chain
of lakes that span the barren lands,
linking up the Hanbury and the Shel
ton rivers, with Chesterfield inlet
and Hudson bay.
And here the tale ends. Just how
much of it is mere rumor, or how
much, is fact, no man may yet tell.
Officers at Fort Smith will endeavor
to check up.
