and asked the man the amount it called
for. He replied: ''They said it was for
ST. 800 I brought in a big lot of cattle
and hogs" The cashier handed back
the check, requesting him to get an
other, which he Immediately did, but

three years ago. He stated that he
came from beyond w Whitewater J9liOY
