One young colt was not marked. It apparently was born after December,” said Gilbert. “We’ll continue the process tomorrow.” Gilbert said three special law enforcement agents from the BLM who have been handling the investigation since the horses were found on rancher Joe Corbett’s east Texas proper ty met Thursday with the U.S. attorney in Tyler to discuss pos sible federal charges. He said he did not anticipate any federal charges being filed soon. Corbett was charged Monday with one count of cruelty to animals, but authorities said multiple state charges would be filed before his scheduled arraignment Dec. 10. Last week, a deer hunter found the carcasses of two horses in Corbett’s pasture. Dur ing the next few days, 38 dead horses and another 149 horses near death were found on the 380-acre pasture, which was de scribed as a “mud patch.” The survivors were taken to the Fund for Animals’ Black Beauty Ranch near Tyler, where they were being cared for by Jer ry Owens, the organization’s ex ecutive vice president, and his family. “They are doing better,” Owens said Wednesday, “but they are all in very poor health. We lost one more yesterday and I’d say we have about five that are marginal, that could go either way. “They have been eating con tinuously. We have coastal ber muda grass hay and they just stand there and eat it. We also have mineral blocks and protein blocks laid out and they are lick ing them. “Oh, it’s nic? to see. Now they throw their ears back a little and once in a while one of them will take a kick. Their stomachs are filling out a bit.” Owens said the Fund for Animals has received “one tele phone call after another” from people who want to adopt a horse. He said east Texans also had been generous about donat ing hay. Gilbert said the BLM would allow adoption of the horses af ter they are fully recovered. “The Tyler horses can be adopted as soon as the horses are in shape and the legal en tanglements are solved,” he said. “We’re not going to improve or change our technique (of adop tion) just because of this one in cident.” UNIVERSITY LUTHERAN CHAPEL 315 N.

Security benefits deposited in Zeller’s account following the accident. Zeller decided to confront So cial Security bureaucrats face- to-face in their Houston office. “I asked the woman at the So cial Security office in Houston if I looked dead,” she said. “That lady was pretty surprised by my question, but according to the Social Security office I had died in July.” Zeller is afraid the mixup may cost her the $440.10 check for December. The check is due Friday. “If the check doesn’t come, it is going to be rough. Some bills won’t be paid and others will have to wait. Something like this happened once before, and I borrowed money and had to pay interest on it. This time I’m not doing it that way. If I have to wait, then they have to wait, too,” she said. “I’m leaving it up to God.
