For some weeks past United States I

ountry inquiring about one G. W. Walker ,
\ho represented himself as a bpeel.il agent
f the revenue deportment , and wascollcct-

lied that ho know of no such person , and
hat no such authority had been given any
'no. Last Sunday Walker was fouud and
letainod at Hebron by the sheriff , and the
aarahal , being notified , sent out Deputy
f.irahal Hastings , who brought the prison-
r to this city yesterday.
Papers found on the person of Walker ro-
ealed his scheme , and showed that while
tie documents had been clumsily gotten up
liey had served to bring in a round sum of
loney from the sympathetic or politic
rowers and saloon-keepers. The princi-
al paper was the subscription , headed aa
llows :
"Whereas , a call for help has como to UB

ir. duty to call on all you brewers and

ebraska to help UH make a small sum of
oney for those that are suffering the worst
id to relieve their immediate wants , and
hatsoover you can give will be thankfully

To the list were appended the names of U.
