When he removed the needle from its jug. lar vein, ne noticed that the blood was very slow to coagulate. But by Tuesday morning, the young buck was wild and lively and had knocked over test tubes and virtually wrecked the laboratory. The veterinarian is determined to follow through and find out just what the trouble has been. He asked local sportsmen to round up and bring him four more deer that appeared to be nearly dead. He will send samples of blood to Utah State Agricultural college for analysis. He suspects it's a diet deficiency, rather than the bott larvae, that is causing the death of so many deer. If we can find out what it is they need, special pellets can be mixed containing quantities of that vitamin, or whatever it is, and fed to the herds on the foothills, he believes. Dr. McNamara will report on his findings at a special emergency meeting at the Commercial clubrooms Friday evening at 8 oclock, which all Wildlife federation members and sportsmen are urged to attend. The deer arent saved, yet. But the sportsmen believe they are making progress on the problem. County D.U.P.

Brigham City firemen gained, then lost control of the treacherous gasoline fire, then watched the flames destroy the load of gasoline, the truck and the lower itself. The total loss and cost of the accident was estimated at from $30,000 to $40,000. The accident occurred on U. S. Highway 30 south, four miles northwest of Brigham City, about opposite the Brigham City airport, where the high tension line crosses the highway. The truck was westbound. A drift caused by the tower and its guard posts had narrowed the road opposite the tower, which was just at the side of the load. Another large transport truck was approaching, and as the oil transport driver saw it he ap- semi-traile- ' , S TANGLE TRAFFIC At the point where the lank car crashed the power line tower and burned early Mon day, traffic was held up Tuesday from 10 o'clock in the morning until lsts afternoon by two tangled semi-trailtrucks, owned by the same freight . line.
