Toots From The
Round House
By Charles Erickson

Inc HOpl 1nQ1dn SNAKE CIdn
dances at Polacca and Mishongniva
were sure a "snaky' success, and
from the faded compilations Of
some of the feminine folks present
and the muddy condition of the
roads encountered on the return
trip home goes to prove Ito the
Hopi Indians at least) that the
great ceremonial prayers for rain
were not in vain. This world-re-
noWned Indian dance is indeed a
weird, mysterious and very won
derful affair.

Wednesday the locomotive and
car inspectors, while at their work
on train No. 8 were greatly shocked

about the cars of a mangled body.
Now we learn that a 67-year-old
man, Peter Harbrecht, attempted to
kill his wife, via the hammer route,
then apparently tried to jump
a ride on No. and flee from his
crime. However, the attempt failed
and the great iron horse dealt the
punishment the crime merited, thus
saving the county the expense OF
a trial by Judge and jury.
