Lawrence W. Baker is the son of the late William P. Baker and for some time prior to the death of his father and mother he had been away from <home, an alleged estrangement with his father having caused him to leave for the west. Following the death of his mother last October he was located and when his sister, Mrs. Vivian Boicourt, was made administratrix of the estate, he gave her a power of attorney to transact his business. Later he revoked this power of attorney and both the original authority and the revocation are recorded in the recorder’s office in this county.

Mr. Baker then mortgaged his undivided half of the estate for a total of SIO,OOO, three loans being made, the first for $4,000, the second for $2,000 and the ‘third for $4,000. Louis F. Hopkins, of Chicago, is the mortgagee, and the loan was negotiated by E. L. Hollingsworth. Lawrence is located at Miami, Gila county, Ariz., and rumor says that he has mining interests into which 'he is putting his money. It is probable that 'his half interest in the Baker estate is worth at least $50,000.
