Reward Offered for John Norris Arrest by Sheriff Faith
Sheriff Hugh G Faith offers a fifty dollar reward to any civilian in the county who provides information leading to the arrest of John Norris of Washington. Norris is wanted for the alleged shooting of Miss Alda Harris at the Shaffer home in Ogdon about two weeks ago Saturday night. Norris was reportedly still in Washington, and the sheriff hopes the reward will speed tips from witnesses. The offer excludes police officers from eligibility.

Flock 1 hens with common males averaged 89 eggs per hen, flock 2 with common sires 88, and flock 3 with a purebred rooster 1386 eggs per hen the next year, a 54 percent rise, partly due to May and June production when prices were favorable.
