SURET|ES MAKE Up
WALKERS SHORTAGE

The surety companies have made
good the $35, ,702.5S embezzled by w.
r. Walker when he served as dep
uty treasurer of Cochise county, ac-
cording to a report made to Cover
nor Thomas r. Campbell by Hugh
Morrison state examiner. OF this
amount the state has received $l3,-
6S3.65 as its part of the back taxes
from 1906 to 1920 collected by the
deputy. who is now serving SEN
tence of not less than four nor more
than 10 years for the crime COM
mitted when in the employ OF the
county.
The embezzlement was first
brought to light by j. G. Darcy. the
present deputy state auditor. who at
that time was deputy state exam
liner. In a preliminary audit Mr..
Darcy noted discrepancies, and after
ascertaining that shortage existed.
reported the matter to the board OF
supervisors and advised that an ac-
countant be employed. George w.
Brown of Douglas was engaged by
the supervisors and he tabulated the
accounts and prepared the evidence
used in the case when it came TO
trial.
Walker is said to have passed the
detection of the supervisors by
marking the delinquent taxes paid
in order that they might not be car
ried over and the board detect the
shortage. The $35,702 which he en-
bezzled was spent in high living, ac-
cording to accounts.
When the case came up for trial
before Judge lockwood of Cochise
county the evidence was so strong
against Walker that on the eighth
day he changed his plea to guilty
and asked the mercy of the court.
"They say a rolling stone gathers
no MOSS quoth she.
Maybe not, but never saw a
tramp yet who didn't need a shave"
he replied.-New York Sun.

ST. AUGUSTINE HAS
 OLDEST POST OFFICE
Building Was Erected Between
 1868 and 1903

St. Augustine, Fla. Jan, 2o.-st Augustine Is believed 10 possess the oldest post office building In the country. Postmaster Charles F. Hop kins after a research extending over a period Of two years has received copies of official records in the Archives of the Indies" at Seville Spain, showing that the structure he now occupies was erected sometime between 1868 and 1soa by one Con- zalo Mendez. The king of Spain purchased the building in 1894 as a residence for the Spanish governors of Florida and 1t served as such until Florida was transferred to the United States in 1891,
 In the archives at Seville were found official "letters and dispatches Of the governors in Florida seen in council from the years 156S to l61o' and one referring to the purchase of d home for the governor in st. Angus tine indicated that the housing situa- ton In America more than 300 years ago was little better than 1t has been the last few years. It read:
 ITO His Majesty from the Cover nor Pedro De Ydarra on the sth day of January, 1904:
 Tn this city they have never had q house for the governor and when I arrived they lodged me in house which was built overSthe seas, and it was so cold and damp that two gover- nors died here. These governors were Gutierrez de Miranda and Domingo Martinez de Avendano. Even the owner himself has never been we'll in 1t, nor have l been so since my arrival.
 For this reason. there being no house to live in here, Gonzalo Mendez decided to build one and this he did in good location.
 Tt is proposed by the officials of Your Majesty here that Your Ma iesty purchase said house of Con zalo Mendez as dwelling for the governors. They have these dwellings everywhere but here."
 The records show the petition was approved and the building was ap- praised at s10,5oo by officials named for that purpose. After some bar gaining, however, Mendez agreed to take s10,000 cash for the structure and it was purchased for that price.
