MUST HAVE HAD AN
 INFERIORITY COMPLEX

WRANGELL, Alaska, [P) Oscar hasheets, Indian, 5S years of age, recently walked into an electrical supply store here and boldly de- handed a check for S1OO from the lady in charge. The request was promptly granted and the lady im- mediately phoned the '. s. Mar shal's office.
 Kasheets acted so cueerly when arrested that the marshal filed a complaint charging insanity. At the trial Kasheets told the jury that he made the demand because he had received a wireless from Thomas A. Edison to call on her and get ,$10O.
 When asked why Edison was giving him the money he said that many people were taking much interest in him since President Coolidge and wife had adopted him as their son.
 The jury's verdict was insanity. In 1886 Kasheets was the first per- son in Wrangell under the Civil Law.
