Or to be shot by a moody dog? Would you care to smoke a firecracker instead of a cigarette? Those and many other dizzy do ings were turned up by the coun- -- cil. To wit : ' The gopher that kept pestering farmer Paul Thomas of Las Vegas, Nevada, was no fool. When Thomas shoved a lighted concussion bomb down the gopher hole, the gopher shoved it right back. Thomas frantically hurled the bomb away. It landed near his bam, exploded and burned up 12 tons of hay. The gopher loved every minute of it. ' You can hardly blame the dog John Beyreis in Pawnee gat shot Nebraska. After all, Beyreis, the city dog catcher, was taking the pooch to the pound to shoot him.

Mrs. Loretta Lewis of Charlotte, North Carolina, considered herself lucky to be alive and conscious when her car landed at the bottom embankment alongof a side a railroad track after plunging off the highway.

Neither can you be too harsh on the deer that shot Ed Stanley of Weed Heights, Nevada, for hunter Stanley had drawn the first blood by shooting the deer. As Stanly bent over his prey, the deer gave a lusty kick, hit the rifle and bang. Down went Stanley with a bullet in his knee. Patroman Fred Golden of Tallahassee, Florida, is glad his pants arent as good a shot as a dog or a deer. He was holding the trousers with one hand and brushing them off with the other when a loose pistol bullet went off in one of the pockets. It missed him. And in Knoxville, Tennessee, hit a cal.
