Manitou Visit Planned by Mildred McNulty
Miss Mildred McNulty began a Monday morning trip to Manitou Colorado for a summer visit with her brother George who works at the Manitou post office. George has a good position and many local friends are pleased he is well. A seed house incident involved Clifford Boyer finding a large bull snake in the office, which he and others subdued after reinforcements arrived. The puzzling question remains how the snake entered and how long it had been there.
