Doirymen File
New Suit
Twenty-seven Valley dairymen

that milk was co-mingled during
the stated period. The dairymen
ask interest on the amount due
and $3,000 in attorney’s fees.
Farmers involved in the suit
and the amounts they seek are
as follows:
Frank McAllister, $2,695.50;
Leonard and Owen Moffitt,
$1,118.89; John Cope, $1,941.24;
A. R. Moffitt, $1,154.11; Merle
Anderson, $2,487.10; Arvid
Johnson, $2,598.27; William
Lentz, $1,264.62; Ernest Har
rington, $868.65; A. A. Rempel,
$752.65;
William Ising, $2,420.59; C.

H. S. Bauer, $188.73; Frank
Linn, $1,788.16; Gust Scheibl,
$1,165.09; Walter Huntley,
S264.76.
The dairymen filed a similar
suit almost two years ago, and
last fall received a favorable de
cision. The MVFCA has filed an
appeal which has not yet been
heard. James Wilson, present
Co-op manager, said he consid
ered it unlikely that the appeal
would be calendared for several
months yet, and he estimated it
would be at least eight or nine
months before the present suit
can come to court.

Soldier Dies
In Truck Crash
Winter weather claimed the
first victim of the season last

was killed in an automobile ac

from the road and careened 400
yards down the mountainside,
throwing the men out of the
truck.
A CAA employe from nearby
Sheep Mountain summoned the
Army helicopter. Medical aid was
administered at the scene of the
accident and the men were then
flown to 183rd General Hospital
for further treatment. One man
died en route to the hospital.
The second injured man, who
is suffering from severe face
lacerations and shock, has been
flown Outside for further treat
ment.
