S. Saunders old. Explosion Averted The truck in which Mitchell met his accident is the gasoline truck, hauling gasoline to the T, E. Connolly Construction Company, contractors at the Moon Lake reservoir. At the time of the accident it was loaded with 800 gallons of gasoline, whiehif it had ignited from the motor would have been a sure end to the drivers life, as well as many others at the camp. The regular driver of the truck was attempting to drive it up the steep road leading out of camp, and the motor evidently not working properly, he called for Mitchell's assistance to help him get up the grade. Mitchell then started driving the truck, it was reported, while the regular driver blocked it from the rear to pevent its backing down the grade. The blocking failed and the truck got out of control and plunged over the side of the embankment into the bottoms, where the camp is located. Truck Demolished Howard, who was conscious following the accident but suffering from extreme head pains said he jumped from the cab as It left the road, but he was carried to the bottom of the grade with it. Though a great deal of the gasoline with which the truck was loaded spilled out, fortunately for Mitchell and the entire camp it did not ignite. Some of the gasoline and the tank were salvaged, but the truck is reported too badly demolished to be worth salvaging. Constant drainage of blood and spinal fluid from Mitchells left ear were given as responsible for his chances for recovery. Because of this constant release of pressure no serious concussion resulted, and if it 13 possible to prevent infection which might lead to it is probable that meningitis, time and expert care will entirely mend the Injury, with no serious ill effects. Mitchells father, his brother, Truman, also employed at the project and his foster mother accompanied him to Salt Lake City to be with him through the hours of uncertainty. Sheriff Mitchell returned to Duchesne Thursday to attend to Important matters in connection with his office here. JUST TO REMIND YOU Club, Wednesday, Wednesday June 23 with Mis. George Kohl.
