The Texas Attorney General’s
Office filed suit in Brazoria County
demanding that Iso-Tex reduce its
inventory of low-level nuclear waste
from 5,000 to 3,000 barrels, the max
imum level permitted the firm by
the Texas Department of Health.

DALLAS — Just as in the days of
the Old West, horse owners around
Dallas are arming themselves to pro
tect their animals from horse
thieves.
Nine horses have been stolen in
the past two weeks at one Garland
stable, causing owners to become
very emotional, said Bill Taylor of
Lazy J stables.
Four horses valued at $18,000
were stolen Monday from another
Garland Stable, the Diamond Eight,
said Garland police.
And at Circle L in Garland, a mare
and a Shetland pony were stolen two
weeks ago.
“There’s no way to put a monetary
value on a Shetland pony that be
longs to a 5-year-old,’’ said Circle L
owner Lemuel Langley. “Stealing a
horse is not like kidnapping a person,
but it’s the next thing to it. The kid
said he wished ‘Apple, that was the
Shetland’s name, had been ugly so
nobody would have taken fihjr H e
and Apple were inseparable.
Both Taylor and Langley fear
horse owners may shoot each other
in their attempts to protect their
horses.
“We liked to have two women shot
out here,” Langley said. One was in
the pasture about 12:30 a.m. check
ing her horses and another up at the
bam and they mistook each other for
thieves. Each one had a gun. It
scared me to death.’
He said a Mesquite stable owner is
trying to organize patrols.
“It’s getting to the point we’ve got
to get calm, cool and collected and
let the police do their job,” Taylor
said.

AUSTIN — Any further delays
could cause the collapse of a $7 mil
lion deal for the purchase of almost
6,000 acres in Grimes County for a
new prison site, an assistant attorney
general told the 3rd Court of Civil
Appeals Wednesday.
Assistant Attorney General Jerry
Cain contended the state should be
allowed to proceed with the purch
ase of the land near Navasota, and a
suit by Grimes County residents to
block the prison construction could
be settled later.
The Grimes County residents are
asking the appeals court to enjoin the
state from purchasing the prison site.
Karl Hoppess, the attorney repre
senting the residents opposing the
prison, told the court the state has no
contract to buy the land, but his com
ment was angrily disputed after the
hearing ended by one of the land
owners.
“I signed an agreement with
them,” Robert A. Harris, owner of
420 of the acres the state has negoti
ated to buy, told Hoppess in the hall
outside the courtroom. “I’ve got a
contract. If this thing doesn’t go
through, you all are going to have a
case on you.”
Harris conceded that the Depart
ment of Corrections had not signed a
contract to buy the land.
“(We) are not going to back out,”
he said. “My word is my bond.
‘Ten people who just moved to
