THE LATEST NEWS FROM CENTRAL:
BUDDY CAME HOME YESTERDAY (TUESDAY PM) AND FOUND HIS SAFE OPEN AND HIS COIN AND RINGS ETC. GONE. HE IMMEDIATELY SUSPECTED SAN'S SON OF BREAKING IN AND GETTING THE STUFF. HE RAN DOWN TO SAN'S AND ACCUSED EITHER SAN OR HIS SON OF THE CRIME.

SAN ACTED HURT AND DENIED HIS PARTICIPATION AND SAID HE WOULD TALK TO HIS SON.
BUDDY TOLD HIM, "I KNOW ONE OF YOU DID IT, YOUR'E THE ONLY THIEVES AROUND HERE.

ANYWAY HE WENT BACK HOME AND CALLED THE SHERIFF"S DEPT. AND THEY CAME DOWN. JUST AS THE ARRIVED, SAN AND HIS SON DROVE UP, GOT OUT AND HANDED BUDDY A BAG WITH MOST OF HIS STUFF IN IT. HE THINKS THEY WILL JAIL THE SON AS HE HAS BEEN PERIPHERALLY INVOLVED IN OTHER SUCH CASES. HE ALWAYS CLAIMS (AS IN THIS CASE) THAT HE DIDN'T DO IT BUT KNOWS WHO DID.

BUDDY HAD BETTER BE ALERT. SAN COULD BE DANGEROUS. HE TOLD ME ONE TIME ABOUT TALKING TO SOMEONE AND TELLING THEM "I COULD KILL YOU AND GET AWAY WITH IT, BECAUSE I'VE BEEN DECLARED CRAZY." I DISCOUNTED THIS, AS I KNEW WHAT A BLOW-HARD HE IS.

WHEN I PUT THE FIRST SIGN UP DECLARING "HUMPHREYS LANE" FOR THE ROAD THERE, IT SOON DISAPPEARED. I RAISED CAIN AND LATER SAN TOLD ME THAT HIS SON SAW THE SIGN AT HIS FRIEND'S HOUSE AND STOLE IT AND BROUGHT IT HOME. I THINK HE WANTED THE ROAD NAMED FOR HIM.
THIS OCCURRED AFTER I HAD REPLACED THE SIGN AND HAPPENED TO SEE THE OLD SIGN LAYING IN HIS YARD.

Well it sounds like he needs to tell that to someone who can ask him who it was that did it then and hold him in contempt if he doesn't tell.
Then check with whomever he names as see who's story is the most believable.

I don't think Buddy needs to worry and he's about always alert.
People talk.

THE LAW ARRESTED WESLEY STEWART MONDAY. TWO CHARGES ABOUT TWO JUVENILES AND ONE RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT. HE IS OUT ON BOND ; HIS HEARING IS LATER THIS MONTH.
CENTRAL HAS BEEN CLOSED FOR A FEW DAYS.

I JUST HEARD FROM FRANKIE LAST NIGHT THAT HER GRANDSON, WHO LIVES IN KINGSPORT HAD FALLEN FOR THE NIGERIAN SCAM. HE NOT ONLY SENT MONEY, HE DEPOSITED THE CHECK AND SPENT THE MONEY BEFORE HE WAS NOTIFIED BY THE BANK THAT THE CHECK WAS NO GOOD. HE IS IN BAD FINANCIAL SHAPE.

OH YEAH, WESLEY BROUGHT BUDDY THE REST OF HIS STUFF BACK AFTER BUDDY THREATENED HIM SOME MORE.
HOPE HE HAS LEARNED HIS LESSON.
