Show Quest by Youths Was Merely to Cover Theft FORT WORTH, TEXAS. Two 14-year-old youths stopped to call on George Ballingall. They wanted to settle an argument on the character of the building portrayed por-trayed on the new Jefferson nickel. Always ready to enrich the minds of young ones, Ballingall headed for his library and the encyclopedia. While the 14-year-olds waited, two older companions ransacked the cabinet shop at the rear of the home. The next day Ballingall noticed the theft of his tools a loss of $25. |
