Windy Sunday Causes Local Damage and Contingent Trials
Several telephone poles fell during Sunday's strong winds and repairs were completed by Monday noon to restore service. In Dalton an ongoing Sunday school contest trial was postponed to next Sunday with community jurors summoned and a four piece orchestra planned for services. Col Robert Oberfelder donated beet seed and land for a Boy Scout sugar beet project on Lodge Pole creek, drawing local attention. Windblown windmills and downed wires disrupted homes south of the boulevard, and a box car roof was blown off in North Platte. The annual school meeting set a $20,000 budget for next year and music instruction for fourth grade onward was approved for the coming school year.

A True Snake Story From Brutle Keith County
Last Friday evening Joe McCarty eleven years old son of Chester McCarty was driving the horses in from the pasture when they stopped and then moved in the opposite direction. He found a large rattlesnake measuring forty seven and one half inches long six inches in diameter with seven rattles.
