Horse Racing Return Sought in Texas Special Session
Rep J E Winfree of Houston says he will push a return of parimutuel betting at the Sept 27 special tax session to fund old age pensions. He proposes a five percent wager tax and a levy on marble boards to aid the blind, calling both painless taxes. The parimutuel law was repealed last June by a 94 13 House vote and 18 13 Senate vote.

Relic of Old Santa Fe Trail Found by J C Clark
A Harpers Ferry cap and pall rifle linked to the 1842 Santa Fe trail were found by J C Clark, formerly of Clayton, now Pleasant Valley, while scrap hunting. The relic lay in the Don Carlos Hills near Gladstone and Old Chico, about 60 miles from Clayton, 100 yards from a sheep camp and 400 yards from the old trail route. Clark sold the old relic to an Amarillo newspaperman. Snakes have no ears.
