Fortv-two ewes were killed outright and 12 more have died after a loaded log truck plowed through a band of 900, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wright, on highway 207 about four miles south of Ruggs last Wed nesday morning. The ewes were to be ready to lamb early in January, and the damage also includes loss of the lambs. More of the sheep have broken legs and other in juries, Mrs. Wright said. The sheen were being driven to the Wright place to be ready for lambing and shearing and were followed by a herd of cat tle being driven about four miles behind. Kenneth Wright, son of the owners, was on a horse trail ing the band, and his wife, Judy, was following in a pick up truck that she was driving, Ken heard the truck coming down the hill from Hardman and by the sound, feared that he would not be able to stop Mrs. Harold Wright said. Ken told his wife to drive the pick up to the shoulder. When the truck came into view about two-tenths of a mile away, it was more apparent that the dri vere would not be able to stop Driven by Rodney Britt of Spray and owned by LeRoy Britt, the truck plunged into tha band, killing 42 outright. Thirty were mangled under tne truck Passersby and neighbors came to aid in clearing the highway and stopping traffic. The cattle herd was put to pasture, and the Wrights suffered more loss when two cows died, apparent ly from drinking salty water in a trough where they were pas tured. The sheep band, with some crippled, later continued on the drive to the Wright place. Many ot the animals were badly mangled and apparently none of the wool was salvage able. A woman who had driven hroush the herd, headed south, saw the truck corning down the hill and said that she blinked her lights in an attempt to warn him of the herd ahead, but tho driver said later that he did not notice the signal. Apparently the trailing cattle had not yet come on to the high way farther south when the truck came through to give him any prior warning. Wright declined to give an es timate on the monetary loss.
