Pulp Action from the Wild West through the Dirty 30s and More.
Saw anxious earth-being and intelligent brute wandering aimlessly about in deserted region ~~ On one occasion cloud of fowl rose from ground ~~ Earth-being looked at them through long metal stick which exploded, frightening several fowl to death ~~ Earth-being placed them in large pocket.
Mr. Skygack, July 11, 1910
Came upon very industrious earth-being, long after business hours ~~ Was mending heavy iron box ~~ Worked by light coming from tin can ~~ Performed task with considerable alacrity ~~ Made no noise.
Saw two earth-beings on platform, engaged in noise contest ~~ Male earth-being hugged and scraped oddly shaped screech-screech object, while female manipulated thump-thump contrivance ~~ Male was disguised with lion-brute’s mane ~~ Large crowd of dreamy-eyed earth-beings sat by in awe-struck attitudes.
Imperial Valley Press, El Centro, Calif. May 22, 1909
Looked through aperture in big wall ~~ Saw earth-being producing discordant sounds ~~ Made many quick, jerky motions ~~ Grew very hoarse ~~ Said “Hello, Central” eighteen times ~~ Yelled at inanimate object in right hand ~~ Seemed in pain.

Never tarried in community more thickly studded with idols ~~ Each thoroughfare lavishly supplied ~~ however, have not noted any earth-beings kneeling before said images, in devout attitudes.
Tacoma Times, Nov 27th, 1912
Came upon field-enclosure with earth-men acrobating ~~ Wore strange pad-armour and nose elastics ~~ Made foot-steps on each other’s face features in dispute over skin-spheroid ~~ Slaughter gave onlookers great rah-rah gladness.
Seattle Star, Oct. 18, 1907
Listened for some time to wonderful talking machine ~~ Throws of very disagreeable smell ~~ See no practical use for the contrivance ~~ Noticed one wheel was out of breath.
