He was typed and cross matched for the administration of whole blood.

"Plasma was also started intravenously. "Removal of his clothing, which was blood soaked, revealed a deep lacerated wound extending from the right mid-thigh to the middle of the right leg. This was so deep that the bones of the leg were exposed. The wound contained clotted blood and foreign material but was not actively bleeding at the time." Multiple Inlurlts The doctor continued that Cooper was in no condition to survive major surgery and that he died of multiple injuries and primary shock.

Price Is $75 a Thousand A local builder, who has several hundred homes under construction, was offered 500 bundles of rock lath at a price of $75 per thousand square feet. "As desperately as I need the material," he said, "I couldn't afford to pay these black market prices.

Where did this outfit get it from? Your guess is as good as mine." This reporter was given the name of the company. A call there brought this response: "We don't have any rock lath at the moment, but expect a shipment in on Tuesday. I can let you have a couple of hundred bund les at $75 a thousand." The unfortunate aspect of this situation, a well-known builder said, is that the consumer gets hurt. The family waiting for its new home will be delayed another couple of months. And, should the builder buy black market rock lath, the upgrading in price must, of necessity, be passed on to the consumer.

A distance west of here Alcon Owens, 72-year old plantation env ploye, said he was in his home when he "saw a bad cloud in the northwest," and felt the wind "shake the house."
