Sailor ‘Confused’;
Legacy Doesn’t Exist
The story about the navy
laddie who was said to be in
line for a 100-thousand-dollar
inheritance from a deceased
Miami, Fla., hotel man has
fizzled out.
In Los Angeles, Calif., Sailor
Bill Cabeca said he was con
fused about the legacy that
didn’t exist.
William V. Cabeca, jr., 26, a
boatswain’s mate in the navy,
told reporters earlier he’d re
ceived a letter that his great
uncle died and left him an
eighth interest in an 800
thousand-dollar Miami hotel.
The sailor said the news of
the legacy was in a letter from
a brother in Nebraska. Then
he remembered he’d thrown
the letter away.
Bill said he telephoned the
brother later and was told
such a letter hadn’t been sent.
“All I know is that I’m real
confused,” the sailor added. “I
feel pretty low. If this was
some kind of a gag, it’s a dirty
trick.” ^
Original wire service dis
patches said Sailor Cabeca s
father, William Cabeca, lived
near O’Neill on a ranch. The
Frontier was asked to check
on the senior Mr. Cabeca’s
identity, but could determine
no such person ever having
lived in this vicinity.

Hopeful Seal Campaign Will Succeed

Several thousand crippled children in Nebraska, represented bv 1

that Nebraskans will contribute generously in the 1954 Easter
seal campaign now in progress. With 320,000 Easter seal letters
already in the mail, crippled children in every section of the
state hope that $125,000 will be raised to continue the work of
the Nebraska Society for Crippled Children in helping handicap
ed children recover from their infirmities.
