Mr. and Mrs. Ron Reid of La
Grande were week-end guests of
his mother, Mrs. Ruth Reid, and
enjoyed a belated Thanksgiving
dinner together. The Reids now
operate Cherry's Flower Shop in
La drande, and had a grand

ing recent redecorating and ren

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.
