Photographs released by the geological survey show grasshoppers of extinct species embedded in a glacier in Yellowstone. The images suggest millions of insects flying over mountains before being caught in snowstorms and frozen in the ice. Motorists visit the glaciers in large numbers this summer as curiosity grows.
A burglar case features a lawyer arguing the culprit’s arm rather than the man. The judge agrees, sentencing the arm to 12 months. The burglar exits with his wooden limb, leaving the man unpunished while the arm bears the sentence. Also noted is a frail joke about a birth town.
A dialogue fragment shows a conversing aviator and a question about descent. He replies that he tries to come down feet first, contrasting with how he goes up. The exchange implies practical caution in flying or parachuting.

Also noted are a safety pin finding, a potato of local fairs, prison escape recapture, a July to August medical conference, deaths from cancer, tomato counts, a Salina church dedication, robberies, pig farming, and various agricultural updates from across the state.
