D (U.R) A jet plane crashed and burned about 11:30 Saturday morning on a farm six miles southwest of here. The . pilot parachuted to safety. Witnesses said the plane burst into flames and exploded. It bur ied itself about 10 feet in the ground. The crash occurred on the Norm Knutson farm which is operated by Mrs. Twila Larson. into the Sanford Richardson farm last Friday, accompanied by Rex, the elk hound pup, the kind of dog Don says they use in Denmark to stalk an animal which in this country is called a moose. To one not well versed on dogs, Rex's ears and curled up tail might be mistaken for a pedigreed berkshire pig. Al though from prize stock, the pup does not as yet have a per fect rating, as the tail carried hoop style on the back is a little off center which may cause a pulling to the right when track ing moose.
