Veronica Shavers, 26, died at 8 a.m. in the surgical intensive-care unit, a UMC spokesman said.

Two Sacramento men were arrested later Tuesday and charged with murder, police said. The men, Kenneth Wayne Moses, 22, and Orland Hobart Brown, 24, were booked into Sacramento County Jail. Giveaway Continued from page B1 The biggest rush at Cal Expo came when the grandstand doors opened at 9 a.m. "They were lined up waiting to get in at 9," said Norman Maulsby, a lieutenant with the sheriff's reserves. "We had about 20 officers to help people carry the trees and help load them.

We gave away about 100 trees real quick." By noon, many of the prime trees had been carried off, but there were still a few gems to be found on the ice-cold cement floor. Ladelma Coleman and Mackie Ray of Sacramento struggled to get two large trees tied down in the trunk of a small car, but they said "we only have a short way to go" and the trees were worth the effort. "I'm going to take this tree home, decorate it and just sit and watch it until New Year's Day," said Ray. "These trees are really beautiful. You don't see these big, bushy trees at the other places right now," said Coleman.

Nearby, a small boy wearing a green and red scarf and a Santa hat beamed and laboriously dragged a 6-foot tree behind him. The boy's father followed close behind and noted, "He said he wanted one as big as I am. I think he got carried away." Some of those carrying trees said they were transporting them to less fortunate friends and relatives. "I've had my tree up for two weeks," said Gary Taylor of Sacramento. "This one is going to my aunt.

This is really a nice deal for someone like She's too weak to get out and she can't afford to pay $30 or $40 for a tree. So we'll take it over tonight and the kids and I will decorate it for her. "We'll make a party out of it, and it will make her Christmas." Sheriff's Department volunteers at the giveaway repeatedly referred to the event as most pleasant duties of the year. "It's real nice for everybody. People are pretty happy at this time and it's a good thing to be involved with," said Averitt.

Lions Continued from page B1 meeting, Meyer said the state department will ask the commission to retain existing regulations governing the killing of lions that are causing damage to livestock. The regulations will be interim measures, she said, needed because a statewide legislative moratorium on killing mountain lions expires Jan. 1. Beyond that date, the department will control the lion's population under regulations that still are being drafted. Under present rules, killing lions may be done only by permit and only if they are damaging livestock.

There were 128 confirmed incidents of livestock damage by lions through November of this year, compared with 92 in all of 1984. Fifty-two lions were killed by permit this year through November, compared with 36 in 1984. In addition, through November of this year, 12 mountain lions were killed on California highways, equal to last year's toll. Obituaries Mildred T. Boothby A Mass of Christian Burial for Mildred: T.

to the street below, Bomber Continued from page B1 deafened Hauser and permanently damaged his hearing. He looked down to see his mangled hand and forearm. An Air Force Academy ring was blown off his finger. "The ring hit a wall so hard that you could see the ensignia and read the lettering from the ring, imprinted right there on the wall." Still, Hauser said there was a certain element of luck in his favor. "I was standing at the table and there was a chair between me and the bomb.

I think that caught a lot of the blast. It could easily have killed me, given the force of the explosion," he said. Hauser was rushed to a hospital, where he spent three weeks recuperating. He said FBI agents interviewed him, and he heard from them about a similiar incident at Cory Hall in 1982. that wounded a professor.

"The thing that disturbs me is why more hadn't been done about warning people at Berkeley after the previous bombing," he said. "I had never even heard about it. I had always thought that stuff like that was limited to the other side of campus, where they had protests. Our side was quiet and conservative." But political protest does not appear to be a motive, authorities say. They speculate that the bomber could be a fired academician or someone who lost a job to computerization.

For more than six years, postal inspectors and the FBI attempted to trace the bomber without alerting him that they were on his trail. In various attempts to identify the bomber, authorities have hypnotized postal employees to develop a composite drawing of potential suspects; interviewed an author whose book was used to conceal one bomb; and examined Mormon Church archives for potential clues, based on a name in a letter sent to one victim. But after a secretary at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor was badly wounded by a mail bomb Nov. 12, and Scrutton was killed less than a month later, investigators were forced to go public with the case.

Wife held in slaying A 35-year-old Rancho Cordova woman has been charged with murder in the shooting death Monday night of her husband, the sheriff's office reported.

Jack Robert Bosley, 38, died from a single shot from a pistol in his Oxwood Drive home. After the shooting, Cynthia Bosley, who is six months pregnant, complained of pain and was admitted to Kaiser Hospital, where she remained overnight, sheriff's officials said. She was arrested and placed in Sacramento County Jail Tuesday morning after her release from the hospital, detectives said. Yule tree ablaze Judith Smith of San Miguel Way has doubts she'll every buy another Christmas tree. Her tree caught fire Monday from either a candle or a spark from the fireplace, and only the action of a neighbor saved her home from going up in flames, she told Sacramento fire Michael Southard heard Smith's screams for help about 7:30 p.m.

He ran into her home, grabbed the dren's Hospital in St. Louis, Mo. He established a pediatrics practice in San Francisco that he operated for 32 years. He was a former chief of pediatrics at Shriners and Franklin Hospital in San Francisco and was a clinical professor of pediatrics at UCSF. He also was a former president of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Board of Pediatrics, and was a 1970 recipient of the Jacobi award presented by the American Medical Association for distinguished service toward the advancement of pediatrics.

He also served on the California Child Health Board. Following his retirement in 1970, he returned to the Bost family ranch near Nevada City and became involved with Nevada County's well baby program. Survivers include a son, Nevada County Supervisor Crawford Bost of Nevada City; a daughter, Rita Merriam of Hawaii; five grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife, Gwen, and and a twin brother, Dr. Frederic Bost.

"It went up within seconds. With all the carpeting, furniture and shutters on the windows, I have no doubt the whole house would have caught fire." The living room sustained heavy smoke damage and the carpeting was burned, Smith said, but the house itself was undamaged. Smith said she has sent Southard a bouquet of flowers for his heroic deed. $23,000 snatched A 64-year-old man was robbed of $23,000 outside the Town and Country Branch of Bank of America, 2731 Marconi Sacramento sheriff's deputies said. Clance L.

Carlton was preparing to deposit the cash at 2:15 p.m. Monday when two men approached him in the bank's parking lot and snatched the money from him, reports said. Other details were not available. Drug suspects held A Sacramento couple described as being a major drug supplier to Mendocino County have been arrested by state narcotics agents. Surrendering Monday at the state Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement office were Hal Avery Bradley, 31, and his wife, Rebecca Lynn Bradley, 24.

Each has been charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana for sale. They are being held in the Sacramento County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail each. The two had been sought since Dec. 17, when agents raided their home on Riverwind Way and seized about a pound of marijuana and about 6 ounces of cocaine, officials said. The Bradleys were not home at the time, officials said.

Oregon man killed in north state crash Bee Correspondent SUSANVILLE A Klamath Falls, man was killed in a one-car accident Christmas Eve on Highway 139, about 7 miles north of Susanville. Oscar Keller, 74, was dead at the scene, the California Highway Patrol said. The mishap occurred about 1:20 p.m. as Keller and his wife, Helen, 72, were traveling southbound. Officers said Keller's vehicle went out of control for an unknown reason, crossed to the left side of the roadway and went over a 50-foot embankment.

Helen Keller was taken to Lassen Community Hospital with a head laceration. Cycle Continued from page B1 was abandoned How could he have known there was someone in the bushes who needed his help?" Officially, the cause of Stakes' death is listed as unknown in Yolo County coroner's reports. Skates' badly decomposed body was discovered by his brother-in-law on Aug. 7, 1984, after one of the victim's co-workers informed the family that a motorcycle had been towed from Industrial Road three days earlier. A CHP report filed by Sanders said the motorcycle was a "visual hazard" that was towed Aug.

4. The badly damaged Honda 550 was reported to authorities by a passing motorist. The motorcycle appeared to have run off the road and then was abandoned and vandalized. It sustained major damage to its front end, its gas tank was missing and it was not drivable, Sanders said in his report. Attorney David J.

Judd, who filed the suit, claims the officer's order to tow the motorcycle is an exception to a state law providing immunity to public employees who exercise discretion. "The removal of the motorcycle effectively eliminated any obvious signs of distress and danger, thereby leaving Skates in increased peril and at a higher degree of risk," Judd said. "Had the motorcycle been left at the site of the accident, family members of Skates who were searching for him might have found him before his death and provided medical care," Judd added. The state Supreme Court affirmed this year in Jose Clemente vs. State of California that highway patrol officers may have a greater burden of responsibility when they undertake to assist a dependent person and their actions increase the risk of harm, Judd said.

Braverman counters that the Supreme Court's decision may not resolve the Skates case. The CHP officer had no contact with Skates during his investigation and did not know that anyone depended upon him for assistance. Therefore, the officer established no "special relationship" as defined by the Supreme Court, Braverman said..
