A runaway locomotive survived a perilous ride through Wauwatosa and Milwaukee, dodging crossings and bridges before stopping on a trestle over the Kinnikinnick River. Crewman Jordan recalled praying to clear obstacles as sparks flew from the wreckage and the engine stayed upright. In Denver, CW Crown Prince, a junior Hereford bull calf from Texas, won its class at the National Western Stock Show, owned by T-Bone Ranches of Wichita Falls and Antonito.

Amarillo plans quartet of high schools to ease travel
Zoning proposals in Amarillo push for four new high schools in northeast, northwest, southwest and southeast sections. A junior high would sit south of Twenty fourth Avenue between Bonham and Milam, with completion aimed for fall 1951. Proponents argue long commutes with central high school strain resources, while enrollment forecasts show only small increases until after 1955. A revised bond plan suggests 6 930 000 dollars for 1956, including two new junior highs and the four high schools.

Thornton murder linked to California suspects in 1949 case
Oakland police pursue leads in the Thornton homicide, an unsolved 1949 crime. Thornton was found beaten and strangled at a local motor court after a June 22 event. He had picked up a man and woman hitchhikers near San Jon New Mexico and was seen with them in Amarillo. Stolen car traced from Amarillo to El Reno Oklahoma, then Kansas, ending abandoned in Dodge City. Witnesses described the couple registering under fake names in a motel, with a porter noting the man and woman's presence and actions surrounding the car. The investigation ties the pair to California, keeping officers alert.
