A police dog sleeping at the watchmans side escaped at the same time. About the time I got out of the station, it really started burning, he said. Jones. He noted that extreme danger from additional explosions and a much wider fire could have resulted had the flames found their way to the four gas pumps in front of the station.

An inventory of damage to the tires, oil and other contents has not yet been made. of While the possibility arson was at first suspected, a preliminary investigation indicated this was not likely, Jones said.

Your Contract Canceled I have been in the throes of a verbal fight with a periodical bureau over a contract nfy husband signed amounting to almost $100 for publications which are not needed or wanted. Someone told me that some probing was going on by irate citizens in Utah about magazine complaints. Can yon get my name on their list? I think something should be done to help unsuspecting citizens who do not happen to be sharp enough to be protected from the lure of bargain sounding snipers. Please mail my complaint to whomever is looking for angry victims. Mr. and Mrs. D.S.O., Castle Dale. Your letter, tho not addressed to Do-I- t Man, found its way to us because that's our job. We could not locate any group that could be called irate citizens of Utah and involved in a probe against magazine people. We think what you heard was some static in Washington, D.C., that some senators and representatives were seeking to trigger such a win- I heard the first explosion in the back room of the office and to the left of the lubrication bay, Wardell said. I looked out the back window of the station wagon and saw flames. He jumped from the car, grabbed a fire extinguisher and headed for the source of the fire.
