Death Of Rights Bill Charged To Senator
Eureka, Calif. (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." He said he heard
another shot a few second later
and saw Bell stagger and fall in
the moonlight a bullet in his
stomach.
Deputies were continuing
their investigation of the shooting.

New Comet Seen
Scientist Claims
Pasadena, Calif. (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.
