'Good-Hearted'
Westerner Held
On Check Charge
Appleton. Wis.. Julv 21 IP A
good-hearted westerner, accused
of writing $100,000 in bad checks
u play Santa Claus to his friends,
asked himself aloud again and
BRam today what could have happened.
Dapper Edward Gallion, 35, re
peatedly insisted that a $100,
000 legacy in his Eueene. Ore.,
bank account should have cov
ered the checks.
But police said the reason his
checks had bounced was that his
bank account there showed a bal
ance of only $1.50.
"I can't understand it," Gal
lion said as he sat on his jail cot.
"I don't know what could have
happened to it."
He pleaded guilty in municipal
court yesterday to passing a bo
gus check. It had been cashed at
the Farmers and Merchants bank
at Kauwauna, Wis., in 1946 and
the charge had been pending
since then.
Claims Inheritance
"I inherited $100,000 from Lee
Miller in Sacramento, Cal., and
all these checks should have been
paid," Gallion said. He didn't ex
plain who Miller was nor why he
left him the money.
He told police that If they did
n't want to take his word, they
should call his lawyer, Michael
Kenovas in 'Kansas City, Mo.
They did, and Kenovas said
Gallion had given away rubber
checks with considerable abandon
in Missouri. In fact, Kenovas said,
he was holding an uncashed one
for $50,000 himself.
Gallion admitted writing lots
of checks to help' his friends. He
gave a $2,000 check to a couple
here for a wedding present They
bought a car with it and had to
'return the auto when the check
bounced.
All "Bounce"
Two Antigo, Wis., men got bad
$10,000 gift checks. The Eugene,
Ore., bank said Gallion's biggest
one was an $84,000 gift to a sis
ter in Wisconsin.
' Like the others, it bounced. In
vestigators told the judge that
Gallion, himself, never benefited
from his operations. He gave all
the checks to his friends. .
.- "They did me a lot of favors,"
Gallion said. "I felt it was the
least I could do in return."
The Oregonian used to work
sentence on the bad check charge
was deferred pending results of
a pre-sentence investigation.
But authorities said they plan
to preXer additional vc h a r g e s
against him as fast as they can
tally up the complaints pouring
in against him.
DOG'S BONE UNUSUAL
Seattle, July 21 U Skipper
dragged home an old bone and
nearly gave his master, Glen
Granroth, heart failure.
The bone was a human skull.
. Sheriff's depufies today were
searching for clues to the iden
tity of the grissly find, which
they said was at least 35 years
old.
Granroth said his dog found
the "bone" in a vacant lot which
was being cleared by a bulldozer.
A camp stove also was unearthed
and what appeared to be the can
vas top of a horse-drawn buggy
or the top of an early model "T"
Ford also was found nearby.

JACK
in the
CORNER
It seems my little "gigs" are
being greatly resenteu oy cer
tain members of the City Com
mission. One of them stopped one of
our employees on the street
and in the presence of two
men from Portland said, "You
can tell Jack in the Corner
that someone will put him in
tne corner, and it will be me."
Again I say that If a person
can t accept criticism they
should not be in public office.
So now I am threatened
with dire reprisal in some un
disclosed manner for the mere
reporting ot facts according
to this man. That, my good
readeis, is democracy, Lend
City Commission styie. We
prooabiy should rename the
cily call it BendrosiiKie
and go totalitarian all the way. -In
that way any criticism on
reporting of facts would sub
ject me to liquidation. Oh well,
consider the source, but I can
ussiire you that in spite of any
"putting in the corner" 1 will
continue to say what I think
and to report facts if that is
treason tnen so be It, and I
will continue to do it as long
us I have the constitutional
right. And let nic repeat, that
I will praise as quickly and
loudly us 1 will rciwrt fuels.
All anyone has to do is do
something creditable.
By the way, don't forget lo
stop in to sec that lord In
dustrial Engine (hat I told you,
about. It will bnlh nleRse nml
nmaze you with Its complete
