was over. and was not heard from for
sixty days, when he turned up In CALI

fight against Federal troops Rev.
Baker claimed he had no memory Of
what ,ranspired from the time he loft
home until he found himself in the
fight. during which tumor burst in his
head, which relieved his brain of the
pressure and thus restored him to his
right mind.
Rev Baker then came back to Texas.
but declined to resume his pastorate at
Denton unless 1t was the unanimous
wish OF his flock. The unanimity was
wanting, and Rev Baker came to Dali
las and went TO work in John +.
Worleys printing and book blndipg
house.
The lncredulous printers in the oil!ce
did not believe Bakers story, or rather
dld not know which Of them TO be-
lieye, as they say he told two thar

about sixty days, and in addition %
the time he was non compus, he
worked two months In q book bindery.
Moreover they say he returned wear
ing the same suit OF clothes he went
away in, and the suit was still In good
condition, looking nothing like Il suit
OF clothes that had gone through the
wear and tear Of rough and tumble
trip to California. Furthermore, the
printers say Rev. Baker brought the
same umbrella back with him that he
took away, thing that not one sane
man out OF thousand could do.

Baker the money to take his and his
wife 10 California. ms he was 60 pleased
with Baker In the two months trial he
gave him, that he wanted him to as
sumo the foremanshlp OF his office.
Baker, on the day indicated, threw
up his job with John Worley and told
everybody goodbye. preparatory to
going to California.
on the 26th instant John Worley re-
ccived letter from E. W. Browning,
saying that Baker was overdue, cut
had not put in an appearance. This
letter was written on the 22d instunt,
and on the day 1t was received a FUR

Rev. Baker is evidently again lost.
