Avery will have to linger In the county Jail during the summer until the federal grand jury meets to consider his case, unless he la able to secure bonds to the amount of $3000, because he gave John Wilson of Marsh field a bogus $10 piece. At the exam ination before Commissioner Marsh yes- teraay arternoon it was Shown . that Avery did not tender the piece In pay ment for anything received. He simply gave It to Wilson to pas' along if he could. Wilson passed it to the authori ties, and Avery was arrested nnan reaching Portland on the steamer Breakwater from Marshfleld. Attorney Seneca Fouts made a strong plea for Avery, saying that even Wilson admitted that he was not In any way defrauded by the transaction. Avery has a wife and child to support, and Fouts thought it an Injustice to hold him. The bogus coin was of very poor make. ' Delegates From Canby. (United Press LeaMd Wire.) Canby, Or., Julv 21.
