(IP) Sher iffs deputies reported Saturday one young hunter was killed and another wounded in an il legal night time deer hunt near here. Richard Bell, 16, died before he could reach medical assist ance, and 23-year-old Robert G. Marmolejo, was hospitalized with a bullet in his hip, deputies said. Authorities said details of the double shooting were hazy al though it appeared the hunters both from Areata, Calif., were accidentally shot by their own guns while they attempted to kill a wounded deer 35 miles northeast of here two hours aft er nightfall. "The deer came toward me," Marmalejo said. "I was afraid I would hit Bell if I shot so I swung my rifle at the deer and it went off."

(IP) A California Institute of Technol ogy scientist announced Satur day sighting of what could prove to be a new comet. The scientist, Howard Gates, said the sighting was made dur ing a supernova search program at Mt. Palomar observatory. He said the object "definitely" was not the Russian satellite. Gates reported the comet showed up in films he was mak ing during search for superno vae, which are exploding stars, but said further research would be required to determine if the comet was "new" or one which had been discovered previously. He said the comet was about 5th magnitude and should be visible to the naked eye just be fore dawn or shortly after sun set near constellation Leo. Horse Cleared as Disease Transmitter Chicago W The American Veterinary Medical association says research has cleared the horse as a transmitter of sleep ing sickness to man. Infectious encephalitis in man was reported about 50 per cent more prevalent in 1956 than in 1955, the association said. But it said horses which have the disease carry the virus in such diluted amounts and for such short periods that it would be difficult to spread the disease from horse to horse or horse to man. The real source of infective quantities of the virus now ap pears to be wild birds, the asso ciation said. Although infected birds show no signs of the dis ease, the virus is present at very high concentrations in their blood. The association said research, indicates that insects carry the virus from bird to bird, frem bird to horse or from bird to man. The disease was confirmed in horses in 1955 in Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, Dela ware and Alabama, the associa tion said. But in the same states, it also was confirmed in wild pheasants. The association said the pres ence of horses in a community is less important in the spread of the disease than the presence of a susceptible bird population. 4fnl NEWS ROGUE RIVER 81st Birthday Observed Wounds Fatal To Man After Hunting Mishap Astoria (IP) Richard Graf ton, 23, Astoria, died at 12:40 p.m. Friday in an Astoria hospi tal of gunshot wounds suffered in a deer hunting accident earli er in the day.
