Wild hermit of Spokane region hid gold riches tale
Fruitland residents hunt a buried tin can of gold on the late Herman Kablen’s 160 acre farm near Spokane. Kablen, 76, called the wild man, died after a shack tumble. He deeded his ranch to M. C. Peltier and split $1,400 with several locals while bequeathing $100 to a German poorhouse and claiming $15,000 more in gold on the property. He came west in 1888, built a shack, and grew into a recluse with a shaggy beard, leaving no local kin.
