Officer Flees as 200-Pound Monkey Jocko Loops Nearby
In Edmondson's yard a rhesus monkey named Jocko again tangled with Pa trolman H. Edmondson who weighs near 200 pounds. The officer fled when the ape leashed by a rope, then climbed a five-foot fence and escaped across a field. Jocko's owner Hobbs claims the monkey weighs 34 pounds and often stands on his head. A later line notes the monkey's escape and the officer's retreat using a patrol car prior to the chase. In Dallas a doctor’s death is ruled suicide by a justice of the peace after police found a bottle of sedative near S Rosa Frank.”

Farmers Bolster Fire Fighters in East Texas Dust Fire Crisis
COLLEGE STATION Oct 28 UP Farmers were used Tuesday to supplement 180 Texas Forest Service employees as drought dried grasses and timberlands in East Texas into tinder for the slightest flame. Forest Service director A D Folgester said last week averaged 30 to 70 fires daily, with higher numbers possible if weather does not improve. He fears many fires were set by hunters, but hunting cannot be banned without legislative action. Workers are concentrated in 26 East Texas counties where piney woods and swamp areas face greatest danger.
