Just About AmftUuuf By Bob Crompton Garth Reynolds, alias Richard Winslow, the pent captured by Police Chief Harry Smith and Highway Trooper T, Wayne Woodland in Brigham City last Thursday turned out to be more trouble than he was worth. He should have stayed in Idaho. Warren Somewhere between Sheriff Hydes office where we picked up the facts on the case and this typewriter, credit for the capture was misplaced. W'e were embarrassed, the police chief was embarrassed and I suppose the sheriff was embarrassed. To put the record straight, the final capture was made by Police Chief Harry Smith and Trooper T.Wayne Woodland During at least part of the Box Elder high school, Logan basketball fray last Friday the shortest man on the Grizzly squad was taller than the tallest man on the Bee crew, says our sports writer David Holland. Bpt what the smaller Bees lacked in height they made up for in fight and hustle and that finally paid off with a victory. Winning is a habit, so lets hope the Bees just fell into the rut of winning. Sheriff Warren Hyde has only praise for Weber County Sheriff Mac Wade, who staged a mountain lion hunt in the mountains above Brigham City for him last week. Story behind the hunt was that Robert Richards, about 13 years old, was milking and feeding the family herd on the extreme east edge of the city on January 7. It as after dark and while Robert was working he saw the Cougar staring him in the ejres. Robert left the country. Deputy Orlin Allen said that Richards eyes were as big as a pair of saucers when talking to the youngster about an hour later. Hence the hunt. Mac Wade, an old Cougar hunter, along with Gordon Pace, Woods Cross and LaVere Kidman, Salt Lake City, answered Sheriff Hydes call to come up and hunt the cat out. With a group of dogs, especially trained for Cougar hunting, they spent a day in the hills, but never, did pick up a trail. Sheriff Hyde reports that there isnt, to his knowledge, a case on record in which a cougar has attacked a human being. Theyre twice aa scared of humans as humans are of them. When young Richards left the country the other night, the mountain lion was probably travelling just as fast in the other direction. The National Safety Councils annual of unusual accidents has some corkers this year. For example : Julius Monroe was awakened from his sleep in Baltimore, Md., by a sharp pain in his right hand. He looked over to a chair, and there was his pet rabbit moodily staring down the sights of a .22 calibre rifle. Monroe charitably figures the rabbit hit the trigger accidentally. But a pig in Ludenberg, Germany, had a clear motive of self defense for shooting a butcher who was trying to kill it. As the butcher knelt beside the pig to finish loading his gun the pig sprang up and struck the trigger with a hind leg. The butcher was round-u- p shot through the knee. You can imagine the surprise of Mr. and Mrs. Milo R. Ewing of Denver when a 1300 pound cow landed kerplunk on the roof of their car as they drove along. The bovine bombshell had escaped from the stockyards, and fleeing from two cowboys, leaped off an overpass onto the Ewing car. Casualties: one dead cow, two frightened and banged-u- p people, and a badly battered car. -- Each year a bumblebee cracks up an auto not driving it, but by buzzing into the City Budget Shows Profits In Electric Department In 1953 Brigham City will net the tidy sum of $144,400 from operation of the municipal electric light department, nearly three times as much as the citys citizens will pay in city property taxes ($53,000). That figure is deduced by subtracting the estimated expenditures of the department, $193,000 from the estimated revenue, $337,-50- 0. Our power house at the mouth of Box Elder canyon is as good as block of stock in the old Comstock Lode or a half dozen city owned oil wells. Purchased about 50 years ago for a few thousands by some of our forefathers with foresight, the power plant has probably contributed more to the improvement of Brigham City streets, sidewalks, parks, police protection and all kinds of improvements than any other single source of revenue. And it will become even better in the future. Last year a new pipeline was installed from the dam to the power plant, substantially increasing power output. Balance on c the pipe line, $17,000, will be paid this year, accordingly to the recently published budget. Other Budget Items The budget shows other interesting comparisons on the income from and expenditures by various departments. For instance, an estimated $18,000 will be taken in by the city court while it is expected to spend only $8,200, leaving a profit just under $10,000. This is an increase of almost double over 1952, when the income was expected to be $9,000, perhaps indicating a cracking down policy on traffic violators in the ensiling months. Another major income is the water department. Though the receipts ($60,000) will be greater than the operating cost ($44,250), more money will be spent on the department than received. This is expected because of the contemplated expenditure of $65,000 on a new storage reservoir and $30,000 on new pipelines to increase Brigham Citys supply of culinary water. During the past summers there have been occasions when the water supply was low. The new construction will remedy this situation. The budget lists an expected revenue of $9,800 for liquor control, but does not propose any expenditures under that heading. Enforcement of liquor laws is handled by city and county law officers. Making another nice profit, only $150 will be spent on the maintenance of Brigham Citys parking meters while they will bring in an estimated $5,700 in rental fees. However it requires a full" time police officer to patrol the meters and service them. The budget shows that the golf course, municipally operated, is almost pushing into the back. Expenditures will be about $9,175 and revenue will be about $7,500, a deficit of only $1,675. t should be noted also that $120,000 to be spent on this year's budget is cash surplus on hand, left over from previous years. Theres no doubt about it, this year Brigham City citizens are getting a real bargain for their money. driver. This year it happened in Elko, Nevada, and the victims were Rudolph Kosic, his wife and his mother. Kosic did what came naturally when the bee flew in. He swung at the intruder, forgot to steer, and the car turned over three times. ieI k Ms' S ?
