A 30 to 40 foot high tension line was grounded by a two and a half foot snake, cutting power to Hudson, Parkersburg, Cedar Falls and nearby areas for a period. Linemen found the burnt reptile four miles north of Cedar Falls, likely dropped by a hawk. Electric crews restored service from another plant while repairs were made. The report appears in the St. Louis Republic. Local items note a W C T U meeting, student outings near Ames, and interest in Beane antiques and fossils.
