Ever seen or heard of a
wingless chicken?
They’ve received national
acclaim but tomorrow. Fri-
day and Saturday, for the
fifst time in Coleman, a full
grown, alive wingless rooster
and wingless pullet will be on
display in this city, at Gram-
mcr’s Department store.
Developed by an ex-GI,
Peter If. Bauman, of Iowa,
after 12 years of research and
scientific breeding, they will
be brought here “Mitch”
Alice of Fort Worth and are
among the first ever shown
in the Southwest.
Like the white part of
chicken?
Well, this is happy news for
you, because you get more
white meat—more tender—
than the winged variety.
That’s because the new chick-
ens can’t fly around and be-
come muscle-hound.
But here’s a somber note!
If you plan to get out and
buy a pair, plan to peel off
a lot of green. Fine exhibi-
tion pairs sell for $500, and
breeding trios the same
price. And who could enjoy
eggs at $10 a piece?

Houston Boy Loses
In Russian Roulette
HOUSTON, Tex., Sept. 27.
(U.R)—Henry Alpha. 15-year-
old junior high school stu-
dent, denying emphatically
that he was peeping, played
a game of Russian roulette
yesterday to prove his cour-
age and lost.
The youth died a few min-
utes after he was rushed to
the Jefferson Davis Hospital.
The bullet from a nickle-plat-
ed revolver pjerced his brain.
The shooting occurred in the
Katy railroad yards.
Police said young Alpha
and five other school mates
were playing hookey from
school yesterday and were in
the railroad yards. One of
his companions, John Mass,
15, told police that Alpha had
the pistol and was spinning
the cylinder and then looking
into the barrel to see if the
cartridge came up before pul-
ling the trigger.
“We kidded him about
peeping,” Mass said, “and
told him he was looking first.
That’s not the way to play
Russian roulette. Then he
spun the cylinder, put the
gun to his hts&d without look-
ing and saidf
“ ’I don t cheat. And I
have got thA courage to do
it.’ Then he pulled the trig-
ger,” young Mass said. “He
fell to the ground and we all
ran. One of the other boys
threw the guri away*. We were
scared.”
Police said they didn’t
know where y'Oung Alpha got
the pistol. The gun was found
in a bunch of weeds nearby.
