Show jjl Nephi, Juab County, Utah, Thursday, Nov. The Times, Vol.30, No. 45 Bomb Found SERVICES HELD IN In FORMER NEPHI MAN Several Theories Presented For Motive in Case Several theories were presented Wednesday afternoon and Thurs day concerning a possible motive for placement of a bomb in the power canal leading to the upper power plant of the Nephi municipal ' system. The bomb, with a fuse attached, was raked from the grating on the penstock leading from the canal to the plant, by J A. Kendall, plant superintendent as he cleaned out the weeds, leaves, and collection of litter which tends to slacken the flow of water. Mr. Kendall had cleaned the grating on November 11, and had not inspected the penstock between Saturday evening and the time he found the bomb Tuesday. The home-mad- e bomb, about 4 inches in height, and 2 inches in diameter, consisting of a covering of apparently heavy cardboard. wrapped tightly in numerous places with strong twine. The portions of it which were overlaping, were heavily waxed, suggesting the theory that someone had intended it for use In water. The fuse was made of a piece of heavy cotton twine surrounded by a layer of black powder, and the whole en closed in wrapping paper. Among the theories which were presented was the idea that it had been discarded in the canal further up the canyon, by someone who "wanted to get rid of it". The carefully placed wax blasted this theory. The theory that someone had placed the bomb at the! opening of the pipeline, expecting the blowing up of the plant was discounted only by one thing, I that the grating which catches Iweeds, etc., is visable, and remov- ble, and that had sabotage been motive, this grating surely would , have been removed. It was not definitelv determined "bother r not the fuse had been ghted prior to the disposition of I he bomb in the canal. A small ortion of the twine was lighted by IJeputy Sheriff R. E. Winn on Wed nesday, and the odor of burning owder was prevalent. In commenting on the discovery, eputy Winn stated that "I hope it loesn t mean what it seems to in- licate." No threats to blow up the plants lave ever been made, in the pin- in of the city and plant officials. 'o radical enemies of the city own- li plant are known. Deputy Sheriff Winn planned to ke the bomb to Salt Lake City the near future for the "opening Iremony" and for determining if by like incidents were on police Icords there. 22-in- ic EW BOOKS ADDED CITY LIBRARY he reading pubic of Nephi will delighted to know that new s of a very excellent type are At pres-th- e I added to the library. following are available: xteen volumes of Uncle Wigseries by Oanis.

DUNCAN now available indicates that the movement of cattle from the districts most affected started early in the season, and it seems probable that the movement to market may be accomplishe din an orderly fashion without seriously affecting values. , There continues to be a broad demand for stocker" and feeder cat-lt-e from the middle western corn belt. However, the wheat pastures in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas which ordinarily carry many thousands of cattle through the winter, have been hit by the drouth and can carry very few animals. There is a general belief that stocker and feeder cattle and calf prices have been dangerously high this season, but the demand from the Corn Belt appears to be broad enough to continue to absorb reOn the west placement cattle. coast, range cattlemen and feeders have been hesitant about taking on normal numbers of replacement stock at prevailing prices and it appears that the Pacific Coast will go into the winter with fewer cattle tan in recent years. However, there Is still time for the western rangemen and feeders to take on supplies, which might assume a broad scope if the market price works a little lower. On the Los Angeles Union Stock Yards, the steer market is In a strong position due to scarcity of fat steers In this area. Present are that the supply of fleshy steers out of feedlots in the Los Angeles area will be considerably lower than a year ago. A good many cows have been coming to the market and prices have worked somewhat lower last wpok, but desirable range cows are selling at $5.75 to $6.50 and choice young cows are quoted at $7 a cwt. There is a broad, demand for canners, cutters and bulls.. On the basis of available supplies of fat cattle In the Los Angeles trade territory. It would appear that the winter outlook Is for a firm and possibly stronger market. The increased supply of hogs and record numbers of turkeys may have a somewhat bearish influence on the price structure during the Thanksgiving holiday period, how- formation Is Theme of B. P. W.

Branches should be removed with a sharp saw or heavy nippers by cutting close to the limb or trunk of the tree. If a saw Is used, an undercut should be made first so that when the uppercut is made, the weight of the branch will not tear of disfigure the bark and damage the tree. Damage can also he avoided by cutting most of the branches off and then removing the stub. The final cut on the tree should be smooth and preferably oval shaped to allow a more natural flow of sap which will Induce rapid healing, the forester pointed out. Scars or wounds larger than two inches in diameter should be coated with some preservative material which will tend to retard decay or disease until the wounds can heal.
