Someone was soon located who was carrying snake shot in his pistol and the snake was killed. McLaughlin, who had already tied off his leg with a tourniquet, then walked about 50 meters to a nearby road where a jeep picked him up and took him to a field hospital. There he was given rattlesnake before being taken to a combat support hospital for overnight observation. McLaughlin said it felt like he was being punched when the snake bit him.

No License for Dogs Means Stiffer Fines SOUTH WEBER Dog owners in South Weber can expect stiffer fines for dog license violations this year after the Davis County animal control department made a request to the City Council to increase violation fines to bring them up to the same standards used by surrounding communities. The council passed a resolution to make a recommendation to the justice of the peace to set the fines at$15 for the first offense, $25 for second offense and $50 for the third. An additional $5 will be added for each violation on the citation. According to City Attorney' . r Rodney Page it is up to the judge to determine a fine for any violations. Hq can legally charge up to $299 for a serious offense. City ordinances state that all dogs owned by residents must be licensed; the dog license fee is $5 if neutered and $10 if not. After March 31, a penalty is added to the license fee for late registration. The Davis County animal control officers feel that the increase in fines will help people to realize that dogs running at large is a problem and keep them from doing so. It is especially directed at second and third time offenders. CHARGE IT ON YOUR BON OR AMERICAN EXPRESS ACCOUNT. LAYTON 546 2465,' LOGAN 753 6130 TO ORDER. CALL OGDEN 399-418A UNIT OF ALLIED STORES.
