Senator Baker has been in an en-
fe bled condition for some time, the
result of a bullet wound received in
l. -eavenworth in 1881, in the famous
Thurston-Anthony feud. At that time
Editor Thurston met and attacked

wound from which he suffered con-
stantly. Mr.. Baker was succeeded as
senator by Joseph r. Burtop. who re-
signed from that position after being
convicted in the federal court at st.
