Jury fails to reach verdict in Kulp case and church snow slide fright

A snow slide on a Catholic church roof caused a panic among worshippers, but no serious injuries occurred. The article also notes the Muir Wescott wedding, ongoing revival services at the M E church, and community social events amid cold weather.
