One Jailed, One
Free; Or One
Free, One Jailed
A case" of mistaken identity 'on
purpose) has resulted in freedom
from custody for one man but in
carceration for another on charges
of forgery. '
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.

Wins Release
LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (AP-
Because Karl A. Wagner studied
law in the Kansas Penitentiary
library, he is free today from a
life sentence as a habitual criminal.
Wagner won his motion for a
writ of habeas corpus on the
ground that he was not represent
ed by an attorney at his sentenc
ing on . the habitual criminal
charge in 1951. Previously, Wag
ner had been convicted of assault,
jail break and petit larceny.
"Mr. Wagner, there is no use
of wasting any time," Dist. Judge
Joseph J. Dawes told the 30-year-
old convict yesterday. "This will
be like Christmas morning for
you. The court hereby grants your
liberty.
"You have a chance to make
something of your life and I hope
you will take the opportunity to
do it."
"Yes sir. I will," replied Wag
ner, twisting his hands nervously.

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. Thunder
showers drenched southwestern
Missouri and parts of Kansas. Be
tween 50 and 100 families were
evacuated from their homes by
floodwaters at Fort Scott, Kan.
The police chief at Sharon. Pa..
declared a state of emergency as
floodwaters of the Shenango River
swirled into the downtown and
residential North Flats area.
Damage in the northwestern
Pennsylvania city of 30,000 was
unofficially estimated from' two to
three million dollars. '
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.
