Trucks Burn;
4 Cattle Dead
An accident 29 miles southeast
of Abilene on State Highway 36
Tuesday night wrecked and par-
tially burned a Foremost Dairies
tractor - trailer when it hit four
head of cattle which had been set
loose from a burning trailer.
Driver of the Foremost truck
was Travis Reynolds of Abilene.
He escaped injury.
Thirty - nine head of cattle were
turned loose from the buring trail-
er after the driver, Bruce Abbott,
1810 South Third St., had gone to
Baird to get a trailer to haul the
cattle after two tires had blown
out on the right rear dual wheel
of the trailer truck. The trailer
apparently caught fire from the
heat of the blown-out tires, high-
way patrolmen said.
Patrolmen were of the opinion
that a passerby had sighted the
burning trailer loaded with cattle,
unbooked the tractor, putting the
trailer down on ita dollies, and
used the tractor to Jerk the side-
boards off the truck to let the
cattle escape possible burning.
After the cattle were turned
loose, the milk truck came along
skidded S2 yards before plowing
into the cattle, killing four, high-
way patrolmen reported.
In trying to avoid hitting the
cattle Reynolds skidded the truck,
jack-knifing the trailer, and over-
turning it and also overturning the
truck, which caught fire.
The fire in the milk truck was
extinguished before it ignited the
gas tank, highway patrolmen said.”
The blue in the cattle trailer
was put out after it had burned
the two right rear tires and the
flooring in the back part of the
trailer.
Reynolds was en route to Abi-
lene from Brownwood and Cole-
men when the accident occurred.
The Monarch homes will cost
$7,000 each and will be in the 300
and 400 blocks of Burger St. (near
the new high school). The homes
will be frame and masonry one-
family dwellings.
The Lawler firm, which is a
partnership of Gerald Lawler and
his brother, Norman S. Lawler,
Brady auto dealer, plans to build
two and three bedroom homes,
costing $9,500 to $13,500 and built
to specificstions for FHA snd GI
financing.
Gerald Lawler said the homes
will be in what is to be known as
Section 4 of Southwest Park Addi-
tion in the southwest part of the
city.
