Wilder, the operator of the rig, was killed instantly when his body was crushed by the overturned trailer loaded with logs. There were no witnesses to the Round Lake Road accident. State police believe that the brakes went but on the equipment and that Wilder was crushed by the trailer after jumping from the truck. Another speculation is .that Wilder was adjusting the chains on the log load, that the truck began rolling, and that the logs came loose and crushed him.

Well, he has one on his hands- written in the huge vote rolled up by his Democratic opponent. Rep Clair Engle of Red Bluff, and the entire Democratic ticket. Knight defeated Mavor George Christopher of San Francisco for the Republican nomination by 356,000. Engle outpolled Knight in the popular vote by 525,000. Each ran on both tickets, permitted un der California's cross-filing system. Knight showed anything but dis may when he returned to his statehouse office from a month long campaign. He greeted his staff with the little tap dance that nas Become the mark of his usual high spirits. I feel fine, he told a reporter later. "I feel very optimistic.

Knight breezy, talkative and amiable said when he first took office he'd have a good time be ing governor. 'You don't have to go around with grim pomposity." he once re marked. He tells lots of jokes and once expertedly traded witticisms with Jack Benny on the latter s television program. It's this informal approach, plus continuance of most of Earl War ren's election-tested policies, that gave "Goodie" Knight his election appeal among Democrats, who1 outnumber Republicans by close to a million. Knight has received active cam paigning help from his attractive, 40-year-old second wife, who writes poetry on the side.
