UVEB IIRE A BARBARIAN Story of the Strange Career of Jim Baker , a Colorado Pioneer.

( Special. ) With the death of Jim Baker this week there passed away one moro of the men whole lives make up the thrilling story of the conquest of the wilderness of the west. Tor a score of years hu lived among the Indians , hunted lu the pathless forests of the north and west , wandered over the end less stretches of prairie , endured countless hardships nnd braved the greatest dangers. All of this was before the tlmo of the pioneers who date their arrival to ' 08. Baker came to the forests of the north In 1830 and dame to Colorado In 183 $ . A tenth of his ndvontures would nil a great volume. l > 'our times ho took n wife from among the In " " dlans nnd once came near paying for squaw with his life. Vor several years he was hunted by the Utcs nnd marked for torture and death the moment ho fell Into tholr hands. A dozen times ho escaped their vengeance by mere chance. Several times he was snowbound in the mountalm in the dead of winter nnd nearly starved. Much of his tlmo for many years was spent evading hostile redskins and the number of his personal encounters with beasts anil men and wars with Indians was evidence ! ! by a mass of scars on his grizzled body from to foot. rliead He was a companion of Kit Carson , n scoilt , . under Kicmont , a guide for the first govern- ' Went troop that Invaded the west. Today there are but two men liv ing who wcro In the west before Baker. They are Thomas Tobln , now at Kort Garland , who came to what Is now Colorado one year before Baker , and John Alberts , now living at Walsenburg , who came west In 1S28. The region be > end the Mississippi In the ' 30s and MOs was a wilder ness with all the picturesque dangers thai stories of land adventure have depicted. In the ' 60s Baker fretted greatly over the coming of the wUte people. Ho owned n ranch on Clear Creek near the Jesuit col lege. This ho sold In 1871 and moved far up Bear creek , where ho remained for tt , tlmo nnd then settled In the extreme north ern part of Iloutt county , 100 miles west of North Park at the fork of Snake nnd Ynmpn * * - rivers. Here he built n shack and lived In utmost simplicity until his death. His last wife woo a squaw of the Snake Indians. By her ho .had two children , a boy and n girl , now living In Salt Lake. Several years ago the squaw left Baker and re turned to her tribe. There Is one story that Dnker drove her from the shack up Snake river nnd another that she deserted him. The squaw with whom ho lived before the last , died and is burled on the banks of Clear creek. There were several children the Issue of this marriage. Horn lu Illliiol * . ( Baker was a native of Illinois. He was born In 1812 nnd at the age of IS was em ployed by the American Fur company. His first 'eight years were spent hunting and trapping In the north , the headquarters of the * company being at Fort Laramle. In 1S40 he left the employment of the fur company and trapped and hunted on his own account. The Utes were extremely hostile to the whites , but Baker succeeded in getting on very friendly terms with old Ignaclo , then a 'young buck" and war chief. Baker induced n squaw , a sister of Ignaclo , to leave the tribe with him. Ignaclo swore vengeance nnd for -a long tlmo Baker was in constant trepidation lest some Ute should take .him unawares. The squaw returned to her trlbo and for his own safety Baker joined the Stoux Indians and became B Sioux squaw , man. Afterward he left the Sioux for the Cheyennes and also lived for a time with the Aropahoes. During the ' 40s ho part of the time lived with Indians and part of the time hunted nnd fished. There nrn Incidents without number con- ccrnlng Baker. Yesterday old pioneers told stories of his bravery and 'daring. In 1S37 Baker acted ns a scout for Captain Marcoy's troops that went into Utah to drive out the Mormons. The Mormons stole a march on Marcey nnd drove off all his horses and mules , taking n greater share of the "pro visions. The men were in a desperate con dition. 'Baker offered to cross the main range nnd go to Fort Garland for relief. It was early In December and the snow on the range was from two to forty feet deep. Baker started to work his way straight across the range. He"became worn out anil nearly famished. In descending the range ho became BO 'exhausted ' that he was forccil to glvo up and would have perished had nol a little band of "Uto Indians [ found him and cared for him. Had they recognized him lie would have 'been killed because the Utes l\ had marked him for revenge ; but they did not and ho succeeded in reaching the fort in safety. A BInrrelouM Iimtlncit. An old trapper said yesterday that Baker nas camped alone in one end of a canyon nnd a party of white men were camped bo. low him. About 2 o'clock In the morning Baker awoke , came down to the camp nnt warned them to hurry to a place where they could defend themselves. Ho said that he felt that red men were going to attack them Two hours afterward a war band of bucks descended on the camp which by that tlmo had been vacated. In 18C1 Baker , together with Jim Ueck- \vlth , took up a ranch where Capitol Hill Is now located. Beckwlth was a mulatto and for a long tlmo chief of the Crow Indians. He was born at St. Charles , Mo. , In 1793 , and came west in 1818. The Crows had never seen a negro and lu some way con ceived the idea that Beckwlth was a Crow Indian that had been stolen from their tribe when a child. They watched their oppor tunity and kidnaped Beckwith , afterwards making him chief. Ho became a great war rior and-was much feared among the Indians. Baker and ho were great friends and wenl In partnership In 1860 , when Beckwlth lefl his tribe. Beck-vlth married a eolorei ! woman and in 1SC4 murdered a man named Jim Payne , who insisted on paying atten- BABY'S AWFUL My baby sUter had a rash , causing her In. tense suHeriuR.

'The quar rels wore usually over the woman. A Unrcrnnient Uulilc. la I860 linker acted at guide for the Gov ernment commission that endeavored to make a treaty with the UteB for the oponlng of a wagon road through their reservation to Salt Lake. Four nngon loads of presents were taken by the commission , which con sisted of Governor Hunt nnd sixteen men. The pow-wow took place on the reservation. Colorow , N\ho was then a young buck , tried to Incite thu bucks to massacre the com mission and steal the presents. 'Ho advanced at the head of about 200 bucks In war paint and circled around Iho camp , haranguing the men on to the work. linker took the mat ter coolly and persuaded Jack , an Indian who was greater In Influence than Colorow , to I prc\ent the execution of Colorow's plana. In 1841 linker crossed the continent. For nine years he lived almost v holly on buffalo meat. He baa never been much given to talking about himself or telling personal experiences. To his deeds , which wcro very brave , ho attaches little Importance. In ISfiti linker hail the sldo of his face torn off by tu explosion of a rifle. Many different ver- slom of the accident have been published. The correct one has rarely boon told. It happened In a camp of Indians twenty miles from Denver. The Indian agent bad dis tributed n lot of rifles and cartridges among the Indians In the camp and Uaker suc ceeded In getting hold of one. As he tried to fire It the cartridges In the stock ox- tloded and blow It Into pieces. One half of laker's face was torn in shreads and his Ight Jaw hung by u small piece. Several if the splinters lodged In his face and neck Vlthout a complaint , and all the time con- clous , ho stood the ride to Denver and was aken to the office of Dr. Strode on Larimer trect. Dr. Strode fixed up the Jaw by these so of'hard wood pins and sewed It up. Three months afterward Baker had entirely re covered. Strode had at one time been an army surgeon and enjoyed n great rcputa- lon In the west. Fill lit vtHli Ilcnrn. Another story has boon often told of Baker and a companion's fight with two cub bear * . The bears were about four months old and Baker and Ills friend laid aside tholr guns nnd attacked the bears with no other weapons than knives. They had a tough struggle , but Baker finally killed his bear , then turned In and killed the other bear , which was getting decidedly the better of the fight with his partner. Afterward Baker remarked that he would not tackle such 'varmint" again without a gun. They were bigger than they looked. Baker was a close friend of Bill Williams. Williams was the first white man In this rart of the country. He came west In 180S , one year before Kit Carson was born. Wll Hams In ISIS gave a Hawkins ride to Ig- naclo. Afterwards he Incurred the Indian's wrath nnd was not so fortunate as Baker. In IS 19 Ignaclo shot Williams with the riflu \\hlch Williams had given him. While since I860 Baker has owned a ranch lie has never cultivated his land. Ho pre ferred to hunt and flsh. He had utter con tempt for all the ways of civilization and never adopted any of them. His chief concern corn was to get away from white men as far as possible. Of late years he has not been as strong and well as of old. In 1895 he came to the festival. AVolf Londoner had known him since 1859 and was the means of getting him to make the trip. The festi val committee bought him a new suit of clothes , a now hat and a new pair of boots , lie .rodo In a carriage nnd was made much of. While outwardly he did not appear to bo at all moved by all the good things , he was In reality very proud over the manner In which he was treated. The now suit of clothes and the new boots pleased him im mensely. When ho went back ho wrote to Wolf Londoner that he would visit the people ple of Denver again. It was decided to have him come to the last festival , but the let ter Inviting him reached him too late. He replied that he was very sorry , because -he would never live to como to Denver again. Because he never boasted it was ex tremely difficult for those who knew him to tell of the exciting events of his life. At times he passed years without seeing a score of white men. He talked fluently all the Indian dialects. With the exception of the Utcs all of the Indian tribes -were friendly with him. Denlh or n Dakota I'lunet > r. VERMILLION. S. D. . May 22. ( Special. ) Information has been received hero of the sudden death at Vancouver , D. C. , of Gen eral Amos P. Shaw , a pioneer of Dakota territory , who lived here many years. He was a native of New Hampshire , where ho was born in 1839. When 20 years of ago he came to the then unorganized Dakota terri tory , and was a member of the 4 > rovl3lona legislature -which met in the winter of 1839-60. In 1862 be enlisted in company A , Dakota cavalry , and served until the close of the war. He "was active in politics and was sheriff of Clay county for three years. Ho was secretary of the territorial council In 1869 , a member of the house of repre sentatives during the sessions of 1871 and 1873 , and of the council during the session of 1881. Ho then went to Washington 'ter ' ritory and engaged in fruit growing , bul three years later returned here. Ho was then "warden of the state penitentiary for two years , nnd on returning to Washington was elected to the first state legislature in 1889 , and re-elected to the second session in 1890 , when ho served ns speaker of the house. Was appointed surveyor general of "Washington by President Harrison in July , 1892. Trxn * Stream * Golnir Dry. FORT WORTH , Tex. , May 22. ( Special. ) The rapid decrease In the flow of water along the channels of streams near the sources of which artesian wells have been bored In the vicinity of Luting is awaken ing widespread alarm among millmen , ranchmen "and farmers who depend upon the streams for sustenance. The San An tonio river in many places is dry. Where two years ago small pleasure steamers plied is now a dry bed of mud , and bridges In many places span a dry channel , where a few months ago a river ran. The tanners and millmen along the San Marcos have determined that the streams shall not bo destroyed by selfish well-borers , and have placed the matter in the hands of capable attorneys who .arc looking into their in terests. Tbo matter is ono of very grave- concern and of widespread Importance to -west Texas , for it Is a demonstrated fact that if well-boring , tapping the fountain head of the many limestone streams of the west Is kept up , in a few years there will not bo a running stream west of the Cole rado.

Cattle from these counties will not be Issued permits at the start of a drive and will have to be In spected before reaching the Kansas line be fore being allowed to enter the state.

Therefore , to be certain they did not pick up Infection on the way , and thereby carry disease Into the herds of the Kansas stockmen , the board has decided that the inspection shall be at the end of the drive Instead of at the beginning of U.

"Will of the Kansas State Agri cultural college for loaning the money of the permanent endowment fund of the college - lego on farm mortgages. The endowment was originally given In lands by the federal government and a legal rate of 5 per cent for interest was fixed by statute. The rate is so low that responsible farmers were will- lug to seek state loans and President Will estimated that fully 300,000 could be loaned In this way on first-class security. The at torney general holds , however , that farm loans are not permitted under the law , which provides that the money of the college may be loaned on county , state or municipal bonds-or upon bonds of the United States.

Aunlnnt It. WASHINGTON. May 22. The present week will be given up almost entirely to the continuation of the debate on the war revenue bill , and many of the beat Informed senators express the opinion that the con sideration of the bill will be concluded be fore the end of the week. Senator Aldrlch said today the bill would be a law before next Saturday. Very few other senators take so hopeful a view , .and most republicans confess they will be abundantly satisfied If the senate concludes Its work on the measure by next Saturday. While the consideration of the bill , ex cept as to objected features , has been com pleted , there Is still much to be done be fore the bill can bo said to be completed. The items which have been passed over 'are these which it was expected from the be ginning would consume the greatest amount of time. These Include the corporation tax , provisions , the inheritance tax , the selg- norage and greenback amendment ? , and also others of moro or less importance. Involved in the discussion of the green back nnd seigniorage amendments will be the republican proposition to restore thi < bond provision , and there can be no doubt that this question will give rise to a dis cussion that will cover considerable time , probably two or three days at least. There Is , however , no apparent desire on the part of the opponents of bonds to con sume moro time than Is necessary to the proper presentation of their views. I If Senator Platt of New York Insists upon pressing his amendment for the refunding of the outsandlng greenbacks , it will result In an extension of the debate to an almost unlimited time. This would open up thu entire financial question , and probably would cause the silver element In the sen ate to even resort to filibustering to prevent j its passage.

There is more or less talk In the senate about the final adjournment of congress , but opinions differ materially ns to the time it will occur. Senator Hale expressed the opinion that It might 'bo ' reached within three weeks , while Senator Teller put It at six weeks. With the -war revenue bill out of the way and appropriations made for the conductof the war , there will be little Incentive to re main , unless by that tlmo It should become apparent that the war Is drawing to a close. In that event some senators express the de sire that congress should be In session , in order that the senate might have an oppor tunity to pass upon any treaty of pcacu that might be negotiated. It does not now appear probable , however , that congress would remain here any great length of time merely for that purpose. The week will begin with the discussion Monday of the coloration tax provided in the democratic amendment. llunnr ForceiiHt. During the present week the Hawaiian annexation resolutions are likely to be con sidered In the house. No positive assurance lias been given that a special rule providing for their consideration will be reported , but It is generally understood that. In the event of the revenue bill being well advanced In the senate , the committee on rules will respond spend to the majority demand in the house for immediate disposal of the Hawaiian res olutlons. The report to accompany the general * banking and currency bill Is expected to be completed by the middle of the 'week , an4' that bill will bo given then to the house. It 'will not be debated , however , this week. Representative Sherman will call up the- antl-sCalplng bill , and ho said today ha thought it would be disposed of during tli - week.
