The Weekly Courier (San Bernardino, CA.), P. 8, last column Sat., Jul. 15, 1893 Item from: THE NEWS IN BRIEF A camping party composed of Lee and Lester Perdew, Charles Laurent, Mont Pearl and a bulldog left yesterday for a three weeks’ stay at Bear Valley. Los Angeles Herald (Los Angeles, CA.)(, P. 4, Col. 3 Sat., Jul. 13, 1895 LESTER PERDEW’S INSANITY Superinduced by Rarefied Air in the Bear Range BECAME VERY DANGEROUS Desperate Fight Between Lunatic and Stage Driver As Redlands Was Reached the Man Became Perfectly Tractable and Soon Fully Recovered Special to the Herald SAN BERNARDINO, July 12 - Lester Perdew, a young man residing in this city, is just recovering from an attack of insanity superinduced by the high altitude of the mountains. Perdew and a party left for Bear Valley early in the week, intending to camp at the lake for several weeks. The valley is at an elevation of 6000 feet, and the party had no sooner arrived at that altitude than Perdew became violently insane. He threatened his own life as well as those of all the members of the party, and he finally was considered so dangerous that he was bound hand and foot and held until arrangements were made to bring him back to this city. He was then strapped to a burro with his hands tied behind him and two of the party, one riding in front and one behind, started on the journey. Arriving at Green valley, about 2000 feet lower, Perdew was turned over to the stage driver to be brought on down to this valley. On their way down Perdew succeeded in getting his hands untied and a desperate encounter with the driver followed. The insane man was finally overpowered with the assistance of a passenger and brought on to Redlands. As they continued ti descend he became more quiet and when the level of the valley was reached he had become perfectly tractable. After resting today he seems to be entirely sane, no ill effects his encounter with high altitudes being noticeable. The case is similar to that of Mrs. Volney Spalding of San Francisco, who recently became violently insane in the mountains of Colorado.
