After the accident, which happened about 2 p.m. yesterday, Blackburn walked several miles to the Boyle ranch to telephone for help. He and Gale were taken to Bonanza last night for treatment and the bodies of the two others were taken there this morning to await arrival of two ambulances which left Ogden early this morning. ...
