. Mike Kokich. who speaks Slavon
Ian and verys little English, walke J
the streets of Portland Thursday
morning In a hazy dream of wealth.
He pictured crisp greenbacks on the
cement sidewalks, in the store win
dows and dangling out ; of : his
pock eta He reveled In thoughts
of elegant restaurants and pretty
' girls. ; " j;J -
Then Thursday evening 'Kokich's
dreams were gone and he stood tn the
police headquarters scratching his head,
wondering where he would get the 11500
to pay his friends the money he had bor
rowed to give the plausible stranger who
was lng to make him rich.
HAIL AND WELL MET .......
It's a long story. 5 '
Koklck was being a good fellow in the
soft drink parlors at 2304 Third street
Monday morning, setting up the crowd
to drinks and all that
A dark young man, who had been
: standing on the corner, sidled up with
' a pleasant smile.
"My meat is in town," he said in
English, playfully tapping Kokich' on
the shoulder. In Slavonian, he said r
"Mike, you're a, man after my own
heart, and a Joy to your countrymen."
: Kokich liked that, he wanted to be
a good fellow. The young stranger and
he became good friends right off. Be
fore the day was done, the stranger
whispered that he wanted to let his
new friend' in on a "good thing." " It
was a. way for counterfeiting paper
money.
PUTTI5G IT OTEB '
They went to the stranger's room In
a hotel, and Kokich was shown , the
. magic little box. The stranger put a
bill between two pieces of paper, cut
, the size of the bill, and placed these
between two plates on top of the little
wooden box. The room was darkened,
a colored liquid applied to the plates,
then the stranger put his hand in the
box. clicked something and there was
a 'glow i of red light. Tie stranger
pulled the papers from between ,- the
plates and. strange to relate, there were
three $5 bills instead of one.
Kokich was bewildered and satisfied.
This was too good to be true. The
stranger said he needed a safe place
to work, so they went to Kokich's home
at 110 East Twenty-first street north..
Then the stranger said he had 80,000
pounds of special paper for making the
bills, but it was In Mexico and he had
to go after it. .He said be would need
$1500 to make the trip. . Both men
wondered how the money could be
raised. The stranger, as though struck
by a sudden thought, suggested that
Kockich borrow it from his friends.
Kokich hadn't thought of that. WelU
he should do something the sranger
was doing so much for him. So Kokich
got f 1500 from two ot his friends.
The stranger said he would make a
couple more $500 bills to help out on
the trip, now that he had a model.- It
would take longer, however, to make so
much money, he said. He put the bill
between the two pieces of paper. Just
as before, while Kokich watched with
wondering: eyes. ; Then they went down
to the soft drink parlor, where they
had met, to wait for the bills to be
ready.
- The stranger stepped into the store
next door, "Just for a moment," and
hasn't -got back since.
Kokich's friends, when he went to
them in despair after waiting for hours,
told him that he probably , had been
bunkoed.' c , ' -' - ' -.-'
' When he went to the police at last the
police thought probably he had been''
bunkoed also. . ; ? . "
The stranger got to Kokich's home be
fore Kokich, so the S500 was gone as
well as the $1000.
"Now, why in the world didn't he
have that bird make enough $5 bills to
go to Mexico with 7" said the desk ser
geant at police headquarters Thursday
night. He looked at the "magic box,'
which contained two dry batteries and
a telegraph key, , ,
