Peek was on hand August 17, Phyllis Dog, sheep owners plan suits p PARK CITY The raging round First its war spawned of lawsuits last week, stemming from a dog shooting incident in Park Meadows. Park Meadows resident Robert Pinder met with an attorney Monday to begin proceedings against shcepowner Ed Gilmor, whose son. Ed Gilmor, Jr., shot two of Pinder's dogs at dawn near their home. One dog was killed and the other wounded. Gilmor, meanwhile, is planning a countersuit, claiming that the two dogs have killed or maimed an estimated 50 sheep grazing nearby in the last three weeks. Roth are seeking damages. Another dog was reported shot and killed by a different sheep-ownlast Tuesday. This makes five dogs that have been reported shot and 13 that have been poisoned in the last month. Its a bad situation," said shcepowner Gilmor. I've been grazing sheep here for 40 years and never seen anything that comes close to this." Another local sheepowner, Clift Jordan of Jordanelle, claims to have lost an estimated 300 head dog-shee- er , ' of sheep, valued at nearly $20,000. Gilmor said one of his hearders ' and his son had seen the Pinder . dogs attacking his sheep on five occasions prior to Fridays incid-- t ent and had fired shots and missed the dogs. The men were doctoring the ' sheep Friday morning, he said, when they saw the dogs running through the herd again. They could see them plain as day, said Gilmor. When his son chased after the ; dogs, in his pick-u- p truck, they took off through a narrow pass leading to the Park Meadows area from the grazing land west of ' U.S. highway 40. The younger Gilmor drove to highway 248, went around the ridge and into Park Meadows, where he allegedly saw the dogs again across the street from the Finder house. Robert Pinder, meanwhile, had gotten up to go to work and was in the shower when he heard shots. He said he saw no signs before or . after the shooting that they had; been in Gilmor's sheep. There was no blood on the dogs or wool in their mouth, he said. They're not killers. Pinder, who owns a sheep ranch himself, said the dogs had been raised to herd sheep and ' would never attack a herd. As a shccpherdcr, Im veiy he said. but if sympathetic, they were that kind of dog they would kill my own sheep. Ironically, Pinder said he had planned to take the dogs to his sheep ranch five days before because to protect them from the current dog-shcc- p problems in Park City. Pinter admitted that the dogs had been out all Thursday night and said the family had searched for them until 2 a.m. He said the dogs were normally kept with 4-- H their mother in the basement of Pinder home and had never stayed out all night before. Its not possible that our dogs are the ones who have attacked the sheeps, he said. They were kept under lock and key. Gilmor is equally certain that the Pinder dogs were responsible for the attacks on his sheep. Theres no mistake whether it was these dogs, he said. They were seen by my boy and the sheepherder several times. They identified them three or four times. After shooting the dogs, young Ed Gilmor contacted Animal Hansen. Control Officer Trisha When they returned at approximately 8 a.m. to investigate and make arrangements for the dead dog, they were told to stay off the Pinder property. Pinder claims that Trisha Hansen has been trying to arrange for the murder of their dogs and said he suspects Gilmor and the dogcatcher were working together. He said a member of the Park City police force told him that Trisha Hansen had asked that the dogs be killed. Thats totally untrue, Park City Police Chief Garth Wilkinson said. She has tried to get the dogs several times, but impounded would never try to see them shot. Gilmor said he had never seen Ms. Hansen prior to Friday's incident. Hansen had cited the Pinders in May after the mother of the was defending her puppies.

Such regulations would increase highway safety, maintain trucking company flexibility in their road fleets, and would insure maximum efficiency in distribution of goods by motor carrier. Such legislation has long been favored by the Teamsters Union which has noted that trailer sizes have been getting bigger at the expense of tractor size, with the net result of a reduction in safe handling. Proper handling suffers when the tractor dimension is sacrificed increase cargo capability. to The committee has recommended that the Department of Transportation devise the regulations in a way that would not provide an economic incentive to increase cargo space at the expense of tractor length." Also, it was urged that state authorities establish regulations limiting me icngtli of trailers, that is. the cargocarrying section of the truck rig.

Lovell, Jr. Proper inflation will benefit the car owner by saving both gasoline and tires. Properly inflated tires can add five percent to gasoline mileage, or an extra mile per gallon, because they roll easier, according to industry experts. The correct air pressure also extends tread wear, which in turn saves oil because many components of tires come from crude oil, Lovell pointed out.
