Fudge

In the Middlebourne (W. Va.) jail, three prisoners stole the home-made fudge that Prisoner John Light's wife had brought him. It poisoned them.

Foul

In Pullman (Wash.) after J. L. Blalock had showed off before an auction crowd by stepping up to a bull and knocking him silly with a right to the jaw, police charged Blalock with wearing brass knuckles under his glove.

Scholar

In Great Meadow Prison, Comstock, N. Y., Earl Peacox, sentenced in 1928 to 20 years-to-life for the murder of his wife, passed his college entrance examinations, planned to enter the correspondence school of Columbia University.

Blind

In Indianapolis, trying to arrest three blind men, Rex Overman, Charles Bennett and Ray Johnson, who had gotten drunk in a hotel room with two women, police had their faces clawed, broke one blind man's head open.

Ride

In St. Paul, Donald Harding, 3, climbed into an empty trolley car, swung the air brake handle, careened downhill. George Jelinek, 17, jumped on the cow catcher, broke the front window and swung the brake handle back, just as the car jumped the tracks. Only casualty: Donald Harding's mother, who cut her arm trying to climb in a side window.

Cabots

In Middleboro (Mass.) a group of first-generation Italians outraged the socialite Yankees of the swank Cabot Club by organizing a club of their own called the John Cabot Club, named for 15th Century Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot), Italian navigator credited with the discovery of North America (1497).

Iconoclast

On Vancouver, Washington's Evergreen Kennel Club dog track, while the rest of the field of greyhounds as usual chased the mechanical rabbit vainly around the track. Mignonette, a novice bitch, tore off in the opposite direction and met the rabbit headon. Mignonette tore the fluff lure off the moving rack and the rest of the field pounced on it. The race was canceled.

Woman

In Chicago, Helen Fortney, 20, trim, muscular, 138-lb. girl from Lake Geneva, Wis., advertised for a job as bodyguard, claiming that she is a better pistol and rifle shot, wrestler and boxer than most men. She got several score offers of marriage, two for waitress jobs, two interviews with detective agencies and one offer of a bodyguard job which she called ''a little suspicious."
