Hopi Indian Him
Catchem Road
Runner on Foot

Monday Mike Daniels and his Hopi
Indian friend in from the reservation
gave several Holbrooh people a little
surprise when both spied chaparral
bird, or road-runner, which is claimed
to be species of the peacock. Both
Indians took after the bird after
sighting ii, and captured it after a
lively race across the field east of
town. The bird, of course, can fly,
but has SO much faith in its fleet
footedness that unless it is near brush
or trees, it will not fly when pursued.
Cowmen and Indians claim the road
runner is a foe of the rattlesnake, CEN
tipedes and tarantulas, and is legally
protected by law, but they also claim
the bird will destroy the eggs of wild
game and other birds. Holbrook
