Wlnnlpcf, Mao., Aug. 3.—Under

do not conceal their belief that his | wh,ch be r*Ued of * e finest

Baldwin, or "Lucky" Baldwin, as he
wrap themselves around it he wept
for tbe first time to anyone's knowl-
edge.
la later years he spent tbe moat of
his time in developing hia rancn of
60,000 acres, tbe Santa Anita, on

it the only man whose horses won
four American Derbys. Bis famous
breadth of America, is living in se-|Derby wlB0«" ere Volante, Silver
cluaion at Fort Rogue. Be ia suffer-
ing from palpitation of the heart and
tbe doctors refuse to allow his friends
to see bim. because they fear agita
tion would be harmful. Tbe aged
man'* struggle tbia time is not for
gold, but for life. For over half a
century be and fate have been play- ern California,
ing a game of dice. Often tbe game
went againtt blm, but more frequent-
ly be won. Many years ago, when it
was at its height, thousand* of inter
eated perrons watched it with taci
nated eyea. It was romantic, it waa
plcture que, like the man himself.
Many times fate stripped blm bare
and laid bis fortune in ruins at bis
feet, but with a grim smile be would
a -Ize the dice and with one throw w'n
all back again. But this time It
■eems aa If be is to lose forever.
Mr. Baldwin is now nearly eighty
years old, having been born ia Oh'e
In the year 1829 But bis picturesque
career has been identified chiefly
with tbe state of California. It was
that state that gave blm bis first for
tuae. Then be made another one I

fort one at one time was reputed te
be MO,000,000, bat much of It was
Irtsted la unprofitable ventures.

Frantz's attitude toward the rail*
roads, aa announced yesterday when
he stated that he had started an in-
vestigation of tbe railroad* in Okla-
boma in relation to tbe violations of
tbe charter laws, has created consid-
erable interest among tbe grain men
and livestock shippers in tbe terri-
tory. Attorney General Cromwell,
at tbe governor's request Is Investi-
gating the tax rate discrimination

within tbe next two weeks. In not a
few charters for railroad* now on file
in the territorial aecretary'a office a
provision is made that the ratea can-
not be higher In Oklanoma than in
the states surround'ng. While neith-
