Billfold Rocmrod
After Tweaiy Y®*n
M r» . Jack McLeod nt Gold
3 each must ha»* been relieved
recently when am ysterloaa And
did not turn out to be as grue­
some as she expected.
Rogue River Sand and G ravel
Co. waa taking gravel from a
source about 1 1/1 m iles up
Pistol River road when one of
the.men found a billfold. Jack
brought the wallet home and it
was discovered In the Jeep by
his w ife. The dates on the con­
tents caused her great alarm
and she contacted the sh eriff's
office. That office radioed Lane
County In an attempt to locate
the owner, but the offices were
closed on Saturday. M rs . M c­
Leod decided to do some calling
on her own.
She called the operator at
E u g e n e and asked that they
check the telephone lists In
s u r r o u n d i n g towns. Surely
enough at Cottage Grove the
name Harold L. Landers was
listed. When Mrs. McLeod c a ll­
ed him , he had a “ Yes” answer
to all her questions: “ Yes, his
named was Harold le ro y Lan­
ie r • " | “ Yes, h l* father's name
X *s Kent Landers” | “ Yes, he
fo rm erly dved at C resw ell” j
“ T e s , he lost a billfold 20
years ago” — between Cresw ell
and Eugene, as he was going to
see Dorothy H a rris , the g ir l
he planned to (and did) m a rry ,
M rs . W alter C ram ’s niece.
What a re lie f to M rs. McLeod
who was afraid they would have
to start sifting the gravel for
a body missing for 20 years!
How did the wallet travel from
near Eugene to the wilds of
C u rry County, and where had It
been, enroute? It was tn good
shape, the papers Inside were
legible. In fact, tn such con­
dition that It could not have
lain out In rain and wet weather
fo r any length of time.
Whoever found It In the firs t
place had removed only the $90
In b ills; the papers, pictures,
cred it cards, etc. remained In­
tact. It Is to be hoped that
person needed those dollars
worse than that young man who
was counting his nickels and
dimes in preparation for s ta rt-
tng m arried life.
How the b i l l f o l d travelled
over ICO miles and appeared20
y e a r s later In good condition
w ill no doubt remain a mys­
tery, because the person who
could te ll the story w ill not
com* forw ard, since honesty
Is apparently not on* of his (o r
h er) virtues.
The story does not end un­
happily’, because Harold had
long ago given up ever seeing
that billfold , and M rs. M c le o d
was only happy to know that the
young man whose name was on
the contents was alive and w ell,
