Two happenings in this city yesterday
were out of the ordinary. One was an APP
peal to the police for protection against a
Growing rooster and the other was the hiv

most frequented corners in the city. These

suppose that Indianapolis is just changing
from farm to village, but it is not. A
Texas steer sometimes creates a panic in
the streets of New York, and it has not
been long since tiger leaped through a
