to pay up the amount of the check,
before any steps were taken in the
matter, as he was full of excuses and
claimed that a mistake must have
been made. The matter has not yet
been taken up with the police.
Then to come to a still more seri-
GUS aspects of the matter, according
to the San Francisco reports which
come from Chicago, an R. M. Baker,
claiming to be an automobile dealer
as the man of mystery here does. was
married in Central Illinois a little ov-
er two months ago. There may be a
mistake in identity. but this will be
subjected to full investigation by the
local police.
Further than this Baker claims to
be the son of Charles w Baker, the
secretary of the Union Stock Yards
of Chicago, which has been investi-
gated. Charles w. Baker has but one
son, and he is but nineteen years old
and living with his parents. That the
man here is an imposter is evident
and it looks very much as though he
would be unable to escape criminal
prosecution.
When investigating the Story this
morning a Star reporter called up the
Seaside Hotel by telephone and had
a short conversation with Mrs. Baker.
She stated that her husband said that
he was the son of Charles ". Baker
of Chicago, and when told of the fact
that this had been investigated and
found to be untrue, said that she was
sure that he could explain matters
satisfactorily. She did not apear ex-
cited in any degree and from the man
