DEAD RATHER
NEARLY BITES
YOUTH IN AUTO

OATMAN, Ariz., Oct. II. lU.P)-
A dead rattlesnake nearly bit Bro
dy Campbell of Phoenix today.
Still White-faced and shaking,
the young man recounted that,
while driving here with his father,
Republican gubernatorial nominee
Tom Campbell, their automobile
ran over the snake. He felt some
thing fall into his lap, he said,
and automatically reached down
to throw it from the open car
window.
His father tugged at his sleeve.
He glanced down, and, to his
horror, found the severed head of
the snake its jaws still working by
reflex action dangling an inch
from his bare wrist.
Campbell stopped the car and
his son gingerly detached the
deadly head. They turned and
drove back a quarter mile where
they said they found the body of
the snake, bearing nine rattleS and
a button on it's tail.
How the severed head was toss
ed into the car, neither young
Campbell nor his father could say.

One dead dog in a state OF odor-
GUS decay caused a deluge of phone
calls at El Centro police Sunday
from angry residents who demand
ed that something be done by the
city before their olfactory nerves
were ruined forever.
The calls buzzed in from Holt
and He'll addresses in the 700 block
and police officers contacted vari-
Gus branches of the city govern
ment with appeals to get rid OF
the corpse. The dog continued to
smell UP the neighborhood and the
telephone messages from men, Wo-
men and children continued to pour
into police headquarters.
Peace and sweet atmospheric
conditions were restored as soon as
Wallace Hanna of the city engin-
eering department reported the re-
moval and ultimate cremation Of
the dog. Hanna pointed out, how
ever, that such dainty tasks were
not expected of him and he was
only pinch hitting for whoever was
supposed to do it. r,.#

Interesting to observers was the
fact that the new tabulation re-
veals a ratio o. Republican votes
almost exactly the same as that
in the county's official registration
figures. This was taken as an
indication that voters will adhere
to party lines more strictly than
was expected when they go to the
polls Nov. 3.
The straw ballot is conducted in
an impartial manner likely to re-
veal a true picture of the current
political trend here. Names are
chosen from official precinct reg
lister books by the simple exped-
lent of taking every fourth name,
regardless of party affiliation, and
straw ballot cards are mailed to
the persons indicated. The system
has peen shown to give an aver
age similar to party registration.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July %.
ON.S0 .-Slowly gathering inten-
sity as it approaches the South
eastern coast of Florida, tropical
disturbance is expected to strike
the coaStline late this afternoon.
At $50 a. M, the weather bu-
reau placed the storm at about
10 miles eaSt-southeaSt of Miami.
At that hour it was moving north
northwest at a rate of about 10
miles an hour.
Although the storm has not
reached hurricane force, and is
not expected to do so before strik-
ing the coastline, weather bureau
officials here were uncertain as
to it's future intensity.
Should the storm strike the
Southern tip of Florida, South of
Miami, it probably will pass on
into the Gulf of Mexico and con-
tinue to increase in intensity, be-
coming of hurricane force, accord
ing to G. E. Gordon, acting fore
caster.
In such a case, the storms
future course would be uncertain
after crossing the tip of Florida,
he said.
Should the storm strike north of
Miami, it probably would be di-
minished in intensity as it passes
across the State, he predicted,
