WITH HIS SOCKS ON

II now develops that Harold Van
Buren. Devil Van Buren," or million
Dollar Kid" was a bad check artist
and left several Tonopahans holding
the sack. The Tonopah Van Buren, is
the same one who accepted employ
ment on a ranch here and then served
notice he was worth eighteen million
dollars and was here to purchase a
million-dollar ranch, intending to buy
mn the extensive ranch and cattle in
terests of one prominent Winnemuc-
can and taking a ranch and cattle
owner here in as his partner.
Van Buren, displayed numerous
check books of Eastern banks while
here and was halfway taken seri-
ously. But one of his apparently in
tended victims explains that when L
saw him sleeping with his socks on
knew he wasn't used to silk pajamas
and gold spoons" So he was told
fatty Lndt ne WAS the Duhh, ohu
he left for parts unknown. He next
made triumphal entry into Tonopah.
