' The sheriff's office reported Wednesday that last Saturday night Don R. Harris and Leslie B. Hatch were in the mood for food. Rut thev didn't have any so it was suggested Harris go down to ihe Salvation Army and see about getting free grub. Harris told his friend he would need identification to do this and he dian t nave any. So Hatch loaned him his wallet. It contained a driver's license. So cial Security card. Air horce ais rhnrpi and other papers. But instead ot going 10 me aai- vation Army, Harris wound up at South Sixth Street food store. Here, he allegedly cashed a $42 check which he had drawn pay ahle to Hatch and signed with the name of a well known Tulelake rancher. Harris reportedly in dorsed the check with Hatch's name before cashing it in the store. But the store manager, who hap pened to scrutinize the check sec onds after it was cashed, knew the Tulelake man personally and knew Harris wasn't that man. So he grabbed Harris and held him until authorities arrived. After Harris was in custody, Hatch was arrested next on grounds of his name being on the check. But it was later determined that the only part played by Hatch was the loaning of his wallet. He was released. Harris appeared in district court, waived a preliminary hear ing and was bound over to the grand jury. His bail was set at $2,500, which he couldn t post, so he is now in the county jail. The grand jury will investigate the case and either indict or not indict Harris on forgery charges. Studies Law; Wins Release LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (AP- Because Karl A.

Cool Air In Northeast By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Cool and dry Canadian air spread info the northeastern sec tion of the country today, bringing relief from the warm, humid weather of the last several days. The sticky weather, however, clung to areas from the southern plains eastward through the Southeastern part of the country. The center of the cool air mass was over the Great Lakes region and temperatures dropped as low as 38 degrees at Grand Marais, in Upper Michigan. Readings in the 50s extended southward into northern parts of Illinois and Indiana. Thunderstorms erupted yester day near the southern boundary of the cooler air in southern Mis souri and westward into Kansas and extreme northern Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle. Tornadic winds lashed the area northwest of Amarillo, Tex., and funnel clouds were reported in southwestern Missouri about 20 miles from Springfield.

' Two Television Western Stars In Studio Dispute By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (API There are two ways to combat a studi the Clint Walker way and the James Garner way. Both have a mad on at their employer, Warner Brothers. Both are TV-spawned stars. Walker found fame as Cheyenne. Garner Maverick. They are hefty. handsome bruisers who feel they are overworked and underpaid. Walker climaxed his dislavor with the studio by walking out of the Cheyenne series. He an nounced he was going to sit out the contract and went gold pros pecting in Northern California. The studio put a new boy, Ty Hardin, into the starring role in the series Garner is equally sore at his contract. A columnist reported that Jim was earning $1,500 week and commented that it was peanuts- for a TV star of his stature. "If he knew what I was really earning," Garner corrected, "he'd think it was the peanut shell." He wouldn t disclose what the smount was. But he claimed he has earned as much In other lines of work. Y'et Garner isn't duplicating the Walker walkout. Far from it. He is .well into the new season's product on Maverick. And he's now performing in a feature film "Up Periscope." (But not before he staged a minor sitdown strike to get a script rewrite.) I don t have script approval in my contract, he said, but I managed to get my point across. The script is far better than the one I was first offered. "As for other contract matters. I intend to live up to what I signed. I don't intend to tell Clint how to run his business. But as for myself, I signed the contract It wasn't a good one, but I signed it. If necessary, I will serve out the full five years. LONG WALK WASHINGTON, Pa.
