A German house painter, who served
during tie war as a Union soldier, for :
year past made the quiet and orderly
town Of Bolivar his home. BE gave oui
that he was 8 veritsb!o Baron, and thai
his style and title, according to the rec
ord OF the Holy Roman Empire, was
Baron KAMINIETz. Daring much o.
the time he behaved himself, II not like
8 nObleman, something as 3 plain, unas-
Stunning man should. Eventually the
demon 'Spree" took possession OF him,
and he became an almost habitUal drunk

first won from the good people OF Boil.
var was shortly exhausted, ard they be-
gan to view the j0urneynnan painter and
quandam Baron as g nuisance. Takinga
fresh start on the rosd TO sobriety, at the
instance OF a few yet DESTROYS OF his well
fare, he fox q brief while recDperated his
falling fortunes, but, eventually relsps-
ing, he became involved ia debt, and
behaved ia so d!ssgressble a way gener-
ally as that he found it convenient to &c.
part, leaving one or more confdipg
friends, as the saying Is, to "hold The
bsg." The Bolivar Bulletin, at she time
Of his departure, gave his brief history
ia that pleasant town, and painted him
in eolors the reverse Of enviRble. Lrs
