Albany Democrat: Last Friday a
man went to the bottling works Of O.
Baeumle and bought three bottles of
wine, claiming that they were for o
saloon he was starting up In the hills,
and as he had partner he would want
a receipt, which was given him.
Yesterday the man went 10 Mr.
Baeumle, and giving his name as John
Darling, claimed to be special agent
of the internal revenue Office, and de-
claring that Mr.. Baeumle had violated
the law It would take $50 to settle it.
This Mr.. Baumle insisted 1t would be
absolutely impossible to raise. The
amount was finally cut down to $40,
Of which Mr.. Baumle paid 10 and
agreed. to pay the balance. Marshal
Lee had been informed Of the matter,
and finally suspecting something
wrong telephoned to U. S. Marshal
Grady, who informed him that there
was no such agent and finally tele-
phoned him to arrest Darling for i'm
pcrsonatlng U. S. officer, and that
Deputy Marshal Humphrey would be
up tonight and take him back. Darl-
ing was arrested and is in the county
