A 21 -Year-Old Bet for $1000
Portland, Nov. 8 (VPiWhere Is Paul BarlowT And does ha
still plan to fulfill that pact he signed 21 years ago In
Hominy, Okli.T
That's what Hugh Porter Miller, a 40-year-old steel worker,
would like to know right now. A thousand dollars depends on
It.
It seems that Miller and Barlow, as youths, signed a for
mal agreement promising to meet on the steps on the White
Bouse ln Washington on Jan. 1, 1950.
"If either of us sre absent from the said place at said
appointed time," the agreement declared, "the absentee will
present as a gift to the other party the sum of one thousand
(1000) dollars."
Miller, who's been carrying the paper around In his wallet
for the 21 years, said he was beginning to worry about It
"Chances are Paul has forgotten all about it then again he
might not," he complained.
"It was drawn op in the city clerk's office at Hominy
maybe It's recorded and legal," he said. "And I haven't heard
from Paul but once in 21 years. I don't have any Idea where
he Is."
It would be kind of expensive. Miller added, for him to
trek off to Washington Just for that.
But, on the other hand, "suppose he's counting oa hooking
mt for the thousand bucks?"
