‘BUCK' TAUNTS GOUNTYGOUNCIL Questionnaire Gives Sheriff Golden Opportunity. Sheriff Charles “Buck” Sumner loves county councils. He went out of his way today to toss an alley bouquet at the Marion county council and all councils in general in a letter to the Rev. C. L. , Hughbanks. Acton, Ind. The pastor had written the su- ' blime sheriff for answers to a questionnaire telling of the duties of his office and the needs for handling . it in the best manner. Now “Buck,” early in his sheriff's regime, ran into a “bucking” council that refused to appropriate money for his road patrol, thereby abolishing it and leaving the county wide open for wiener roasts and other nocturnal activities of the John Dillingers and others of the bandit ilk. So when the Buck came to the pastor’s question as to “What is the greatest need of the sheriff’s office?” he replied in four little words, “A sensible county council.”

Witnesses Fail to Name Alleged Counterfeiter

Is It Tony Micheli or Isn’t It? Ask Government Agents. The confusing identity of Tony Micheli, alleged counterfeit ring leader, became a bewildering comedy of errors in federal court yesterday as two witnesses for the state failed to recognize the man on trial before Judge Robert Baltzell. A man claiming to be Tony Micheli gave himself up voluntarily April 1, asserting that his racket was bootlegging and not “phoney monel.” The witnesses, Mrs. Lena Farber and George Matthews, brought here from federal prisons to identify their accomplice, stared blankly at the man on trial. The Tony Micheli wanted here operated a case on Maryland street, and the man on trial admitted having served in the same occupation. Secret service agents, who thought they had a tight case, were per-

plexed. Val Nolan, district attorney, looked amused. Judge Baltzell ha sordered a more thorough investigation into the case and is holding the prisoner over untill the November term of court. Government agents suspect that the real Micheli has played a clever ruse.
