Then Folk had for bribery In the matter of an eleetrlo light deal. In this I little Job of robbing the' people through their elected ser vants Butler paid certain aldermen amounts Aggregating $$$,000. On this charge ha was tried Jtown, Fulton.

But he had am bition and ability that soon carried him out of that ccu ' patlon. and be turned bis attention to local politics, and ! boodling. He perceived that there were great oppor tunities along.thls line to rob the people, and that they would stand for It and be baa made a very successful business of It until he ran up against Folk, who would neither ba bullied nor bought Butler baa mad at least $5,000,000 in this business.

But Folk refused to be Butler's too, but chose i Instead to keep his word with the people and serve them, 'hence be is Butler's enemy, his Nemesis.
