Housewife
Strikes Out
Housebreaker
SEATTLE, UPi — A sizzling
strike with a steam iron won a
slender brunette housewife, who
once pitched for a softball team, a
one-hit decision from an armed
intruder.
The play-by-play on the action
comes from a police report:
A masked man carrying a pistol
entered the suburban home of
Mrs. M. H. McKenzie Jr., 27, late
i Tuesday night. Her husbarKd was
in the hospital and her four chil
dren were asleep in nearby rooms.
The housewife and intruder
stared at each other, speechless
for a minute or more. Then came
the opening delivery.
“I had my hot steam iron in
my hand. I threw it at him, under
hand, from abcut five feet away.
It hit him in the ribs and may
have burned him,” Mrs. McKen
zie said.
The startled gunman ran out the
kitchen door, tripping on a rug,
and fell down again outside.
When last seen, the victim of
the one-hitter was heading
through the outfield.
Words which spell another
word backwards: straw, warts;
diaper, repaid; stinker, reknits;
deliver, reviled; dessert, tressed.

struck not far away.

the familes of Ervin Morris Sr.,
about 48, and his son Ervin Jr.,
21, were at hom$ in the duplex
they shared. Ten perished almost
instantly, their bodies thrown
with explosive force upon a
wooded hillside. The remaining
