Don MANU- Marue, the prison chap

Crystal takes the letter as joke
and thinks an attempt Is being made
to bunco him. He knows nothing
whatever of his ancestors further
than that his parents came to Oregon
from the eastern states, He does not
know of what nationality his ances-
tors were and If he is the possessor
of any relatives in Spain or any 9TH

fact. He Is therefore still holding
down his position in the local store,
though he has been kept busy all
day explaining his good fortune" to
scores Of interested friends.
