Nazi Forecasts Death
For Race Violators'

BIELEFELD, Germany, Dec.
1.-The death. penalty for trace
violators" was foreshadowed by
Julius Streicher, noted Jew-bait-
er, in q public speech here.
Streicher complained that the
Nurnberg Laws (forbidding sex
relations between Jews and gen.
tiles) were lstin too often disre-
garded, and that courts merely
imposed prison sentences in such
cases.
81 can tell you today" Steicher
announced, athat new measures
are being drafted, and should
these prove Intellectual. then the
death penalty must be inflicted"

we go and have no cares. Up the Ban
mack trail and down to the town, the
raggedest lot that was ever seen and
the happiest. Friends on every side. Bob
Dempsey grabbed our horses and cared
for them Frank Ruff got us to his
cabin. Salt Lake eggs, ham, potatoes,
everything. Such support Too tired

And so, because the Crows turned a
prospecting party from its course ano
