From fhe n. ", Tribune. !


Mr.. Boulds Baker, chairman of the Re
publican state committe of Texas, is not
man of the most fragrant sort of repu-
tation. just after the war closed he wag
discovered defrauding the government by
the sale:of tax-paid certificates for cotton.
His method was ingenious. He set up a
shop in Mobile where he furnished the GER
tifcates--for about one third ct the amount
of the tax-to captains of steamboats,, who
carried cotton on them to Montgomery.
On their return the captains gave the Ger.
tifcates back to Baker. who sold them or
er again; and So on indefinitely. This was
very nice little business for Baker. but
the government discovered the plan and it
ended abruptly. Baker retired from the
public gaze, but reappeared last fall as
chairman of the Republican state commit
tee of Texas, going in that capacity to the
famous Outrage Convention" at Chatta-
nooga, where he figured as one of the most
halr-raisiug bloody-shirt shakers. He has
again been brought unpeasantly into prom
inence by Mr.. L. E. Daniel of Galveston,
who gives the Neaos Of that city an ex-
tremely interesting account OF his personal
experience with Mr.. Baker. The scene
was in Washington last fall, and Mr.. Dan
iell was there as an applicant for post Of
fee. Mr.. Baker, as chairman of the Re
publican committee. was there too, and he
at once informed Mr. Daniel that he was
broker for all the federal offices in Texas,
and if he would give him Baker, $3.50 his
post Office would be all right. Mr.. Baker
also added that he would find him more
important post office for $4,000. Mr.Dan-
iell refused to pay the money till he got
his certificate of office, but his backward
ness of payment lost him the appointment.
There never has been any complaint made
public that Mr. Boulds Baker is ''ostra-
cised' in Texas, but it wouldn't be bit
strange if the ''unrepented rebels re-
fused to admit him into their society.

cation Is four miles above tho bridge,

rska, discovered dirt rich with coarse
gold. They located o mining claim and
will proceed to construct a ditch and
bring water from Bear River.
Stockholders OF the Farmers Bank Of

capital stock to $4,000 Tho bank
