Description

Territory of Idaho, Territorial Warrant, New Series, dated March 31, 1875, for $375 payable to a District Attorney for three months wages. This small size warrant has a small dog vignette at bottom center, and a female stele at left. It was lithographed by Statesman Printing Co., Boise City. Warrant measures approximately 9" by 4.5". This rather plain certificate has an interesting story to tell. Unlike the other Idaho Territorial items offered here, the lawyer, F.E. Ensign, had no trouble cashing his warrant when he presented it on April 1, 1875. Although the certificate bears a printed declaration on verso deferring payment to the future as the other warrants in this sale do, the statement of non-payment is crossed out, Ensign endorses the warrant and received his funds. Rank had its privileges out west too. Lightly folded, the warrant is Very Fine, but some smudging of ink notations is observed.
