ernment
Colonel Anderson sent the letter the
following day to Mr. Baker, stating
that he did so without making any de
mand or request or even suggestion on
hla part, but merely to bring to him
the letter as requested by Llston. Mr.
Baker says he had no dealings with
Llston that would give the latter any
excuse for demanding money from him,
and he declares that Llston Is crazy.
For some days there has been some
discussion on the street over the mat
ter. Mr. Baker a year ago or more
bought some valuable Indian lands near
the Indian school, amounting to about
S30.000. It Is alleged that the lands
were worth much more than that, but
the sale appears to have been regular,
was duly advertised and Baker simply
bid In the property, being the only
bidder. Llston might have protested
against the approval of this sale by
the povernment. It Is said, but he Is
supposed not to have done so. and al
lowed the deal to be consummated.
Pay Up or Bs Exposed.
In his letter Llston declares he Is
tired of being a fugitive from Justice
and he Is going to settle with the gov
ernment, and he declares the men In
Tacoma who have profited through deals
through him must pay up or he Inti
mates there will be exposures made
that will be disagreeable. "'
Mr. Baker says he sent the letter
from Llston to District Attorney Todd,
but no arrest has yet been made of the
former superintendent, although Colonel
Anderson says he Is confident the In
dian office men must know where he is.
Iilston's Letter to Anderson.
The letter Llston wrote to Colonel
Anderson was In full as follows:

thouKh my prospects at present are not
verv flattering. But there is one more
thing I woulfl ask you to do for me
which will probably straighten out my
affairs and give me a chance to do
something in the future.
Upon receipt of ihls I wish you would
fo to John S. Baker and tell him that
have exhausted every means to ar
range my affairs without recourse to
him. but have failed, and that unless
he renders me the assistance I require
I am determined to put myself in com
munication with the authorities and re
turn to Tacoma, and should I do so I
will make confession of everything and
taKe what punishment may be given me.
Tell him that I have little to lose, as I
my home Is broken up, my life ruined
and my .health greatly impaired, arid
that I am a man made desperate by
mv condition.
He knows what he will loss if the
truth concerning his nurchase nf certain
lands from the government through me
is made known, and I swear that I shall
not surfer alone for my offense.
It wilt take J8.000 to square myself
witn tne authorities, both e-overnment
and state, and that amount I must have
not later than the first week in May
This sum Is a very small matter to
him with the means he possesses, but
to me It is freedom and perhaps life
and will give me an opportunity to re
trieve my fortunes. The refusal to
assist me will result In much harm to
him and possibly Mr. Snyder, and his
punishment will certainly be no less
than that meted out to me.
Jf he renders his assistance he has
nothing more to fear from me and
that I shall never return to Tacoma or
the state of Washington, but that under

that Mrs. Faling Is his only relative, but
will not contribute a penny toyfils sup
port. For years he slept ojjwi bunch of

Then he brought suit, to compel Mrs.
Faling to support him, and each time a
flaw was found In the case by the su
preme court. A month ago he was
committed to the county poor farm.
,.AttoJn.y T- N- Strong, representing
Mrs. Faling, met Barrett and his law
yer, W. Q. Hayes, In the county court
this morning. Judge Webster was not
there, so the hearing was postponed
until August 7. Mr. Strong claimed,
however, that Barrett is no relation
whatever to Mrs. Faling and that she
ha" no reason for contributing anything
Barrett, however, had a dozen or
more faded tintypes and daguerreotypes
of tne Barrett family Including a news
paper woodcut of Mrs. Faling, taken In
,,lloop""klrt costume worn In the
Civil war days. The old likenesses were
all mounted In leather-bound books and
nad evidently been preserved for half
a century or mora.
That it will be difficult to establish
the certainty of relationship Is evi
denced by the fact that Mrs. Faling was
bor nln Europe and Barrett In Peru, the
family having lived in many of the
countries of the globe at the time that
Mrs Faling and Barrett were children.
