)bsla<*le Course**
For Dojj Racing
TRUCKEE, Calif. (A*)—At times
looking more like an obstacle
course runner than a dog sled
racer, Lewis Price of West Yel
lowstone, Mont., beat the field
again Sunday in the Sierra dog
derby.
Price and his Siberian Huskies
covered an 11-mile course along
U. S. High 40 in one hour, 19 min
utes, 15 seconds. That is 50 min
utes longer than it took him to
win an 11-mile race Saturday
around a snowy track.
The difference resulted from
the many ditches, patches of dry
pavement, jutting rocks and tan
gled brush that slowed the sled
and exhausted the dogs along the
Sunday course.
Lloyd van Sickle of Truckee,
who placed second in Saturday’s
race, duplicated his feat Sunday
in one hour, 1 minutes, 30 seconds.
Larry Fields of Ashton, Idaho,
came in third in one hour, 29
minutes. A1 Halton of Anchorage,
Alaska, and Harm- .Tohanson of
Tahoe City, Calif., were foudth
and fifth.
The town and surrounding area
were packed by spectators for the
second revival of the derby since
1931.

hi re Destroys
Munz Hangar
| At City Airport
—
Fire destroyed the big Munz
Airways hangar at the City Air
1 port Tuesday morning about eight
o’clock and two planes which
were in the hangar at the time as
well as a tractor and other equip
ment.
Bill Munz, owner, who was in
the hangar alone at the time, is
reported to have been changing
a battery on one of the planes
when a spark ignited gas from a
heating pot which is used to warm
up planes in cold weather.
Flames completely enveloped
the building so fast and caused so
much pressure that he was un
able to open the door of the han
gar to escape and had to break a
window to save himself. The pres
sure on the big doors of the han
gar was so great that they could
not be opened either and are
twisted and bulged.
The planes in the hanger were
a Stinson and a 2-motored Cess
na. and the loss is partially cov
ered by insurance.
The Munz Airways still have
two planes with which to operate,
although it is rumored that a sale
which was pending at the time
of the fire may still be made.
