Gently, Joseph Basker called on the
News and stated his position in the re-
cent episode in which he figured at
Schafer some time ago. which was pub
lished in the Schafer Record and copied
by the News and by the Press. Joe

paid cash for it and that there was a
dispute with the lumber man while he
was loading up. He says that he was
confined in jail four days and that
when he was released his: money was re-
turned and he drove home without n
