Sniper fire hits truck
Mineral royalty
funds to county
Towns in Crook County have
received checks for governmental
mineral royalty funds. State
Treasurer Shirley Wittier said
more than $37 million was dis-
tributed.
Sundance received $22,751.86;
Moorcroft, $20,703.47; and
Hulett, $13,856.42.
Mrs. Wittier said allocation of
these funds is on the basis of a
formula established by the Wyo-
ming legislature with 7.5 percent
going to incorporated cities and
towns. The remaining goes to the
Public School Foundation pro-
gram, the University of Wyo-
ming, to a school district capital
construction account, to the Farm
Loan Board capital construction
account, and to highways.

A truck making a run between
Rapid City and Sundance Friday
night was apparently the victim of
sniper fire.
The damage was discovered
when the driver pulled the rig into
the pert of entry at Sundance at
8:15 p.m. He told officers he had
realized he was losing water from
the radiator about 20 miles out of
town. He said he had been
stopped in Montana earlier in
the week and warned to stop
driving by other independent
truckers. The driver said he
thought the truck could have gone
about 100 miles before all the
water leaked out of the radiator.
A Sundance police officer said
that a hole in the lower part of the
truck radiator was angled from
above, "like from an overpass."
The officer said the owner of
the truck, Bob Iron, Sheridan,
was contacted Saturday and said
the truck could be repaired. He
said a new radiator would cost
about $1,500.
Class reunion
giving consideration to the adop-
tion of a zoning plan or to an
alternative called development
permit system.
Residents will have an oppor-
tunity to express their choice by
responding to a survey which will
be Sent out from the city with the
June water bills.
As explained by a spokesman
for the council, zoning is simply
dividing a town into districts
where uses are specified or pro-
hibited. The development permit
system is a more flexible ap-
proach for a changing commun-
ity, such as Stmdance, where
there are no uses-by-right, but
each proposal is individually con-
sidered on the basis of set
policies.
By responding to the survey
direction will be given the Sun-
dance Planning Commission and
the council in their efforts to
guide development and protect
property values.
