Bond Loser
$1000 Liberty Disappears
From Coat Pocket
on Monday
, •
i
To loan a >1000 Liberty bond to a
friend to us as collateral in a busi
ness deal and then to have the friend
lose the bond from his pocket was
the unpleasant experience this week
of John H. Donaldson, or “John D”,
the local grocer, as he is known to
Lents people.
Mr. Donaldson had the bond in his
lafeMeposit box in the Multnomah
State Bank, where it had securely
rested since he purchased it several
weeks ago. Tuesday afternoon Mr.
Donaldson took it from the box and
the borrower placed it in his insid ■
coat pocket among some other pa
pers and boarded the car for Port
land.
After transacting business
along Front street the gentleman
went to his home in one of the other
suburbs of the city. About 7 o’clock
that evening it occurred to him to
look for the bond and see if it was
where he had placed it. To his sur
prise and dismay, it was not there
and Mr. Donaldson was immediately
notified.
The matter was reported to the po
lice detective bureau and steps taken
at once to prevent the lost bond from
being disposed of.
The police are
said to be of the opinion that the
man’s pocket was not picked, and that
the bond will be eventually recovered
John D.’s hopes rose with a jump
Tuesday evening when his telephone
rang and a man's voice inquired if he
had advertised a lost bond. Upon be
ing assured that he had, the interrog
ator wanted to know what step« had
been taken to prevent it from being
negotiated, saying he had lost »200 i«
a like manner some time ago and he
was anxious to know how he coul 1
prevent an unlawful possessor real
izing upon it.
Mr. Donaldson has been assured
that the loss will be made good by the
person from whose custody the bond
disappeared.
