West Point Workers Suffocated from Manure Gas
WEST POINT (AP) - Cuming County authorities are awaiting laboratory test results to see what type of gas suffocated two workers at a pig manure pump house near West Point. County Attorney Tom Donner said Wednesday that the deaths of Alan Borhar, 63, of Elkhorn and Robert Holiday, 36, of Tekamah were accidental. The bodies of both men were discovered Friday night in the pump house on their workplace, the Maple Creek Pig Co., south of West Point along U.S. Highway 275. Donner says he's awaiting laboratory tests to determine which gas emanating from the manure killed the men.
