The Texas death toll for the July
Fourth holiday weekend, though
smaller than expected, included an
unusually high number of pedes
trian fatalities, the state Department
of Public Safety said Monday.
The final count showed 11 pedes
trian deaths among the 37 that oc
curred from the time the death tally
began at 6 p.m. Thursday, DPS
spokesman David Wells said.
“The volume of traffic was high,”
Wells said Monday. “But coming in
under our estimate makes us feel
good. We did not reach the pre
dicted 40 deaths.”

this year. More people could die in
coming weeks as a result of injuries
sustained over the holiday.
“Several persons received ex
tremely critical injuries,” Wells said.
“However, the fact that generally
statewide, since the year began, we
have seen a slight decline in traffic
fatalities, that may be a trend that we
saw continue through the holiday
period.”

Two pedestrians were killed Sun

HOUSTON (AP) — A man ar
rested by Houston police may have
some insight into the weekend
shooting death of a Sugarland police
officer, officials said Monday.
Houston homicide detectives,
called in to assist Sugarland police,
arrested a 46-year-old Houston man
Sunday for questioning in the Satur
day slaying of Sgt. Ronald D. Slock-
ett. He has not been charged in the
case, police spokesman Sgt. J.C. Mo-
sier said.
Police said the arrested man han
dled the lease arrangement with two
men who were last seen driving a
light-colored, two-door 1987
Toyota. Slockett was shot at least five
times after stopping the car for a tra
ffic violation, Sugarland Assistant
Police Chief Ernest Taylor said.
“We’re looking for that vehicle
and the occupants of that vehicle for
investigation of capital murder,”
Taylor said. Their search continued
Monday.
The man arrested is being held on
charges of felony theft of service in
connection with the unrelated theft
of another automobile from a rental

Xavier Ball, 24, of Dallas was
killed when his car veered into a
light pole, spun and hit a traffic sig

One of the pedestrian deaths was
a woman who was struck by a DPS
patrol car.
Wells said Carolyn M. Gooch, 31,
of Odessa had been warned by other
state troopers to stay off the road
shortly before the 1:56 a.m. Satur

Slockett, 31, an eight-year depart
ment veteran, was snot four or five
times in the chest area about 3:38
a.m. on Alternate Highway 90. He is
the first officer within the depart
ment killed in the line of duty.
“Sgt. Slockett checked what we
would normally consider a routine
traffic stop,” Taylor said. “Just a few
minutes later, a citizen stopped an
other officer and said we had an of
ficer down and told him where.
“When the second officer arrived,
he found Sgt. Slockett lying in front
of his car,” Taylor said, adding that a
large-caliber weapon had been used.
There were no witnesses to the
shooting, Taylor said, but witnesses
saw Slockett pull the car over and
provided Sugarland police with
leads.

The MSC Dinner Theater
opens its summer season
Wednesday night with Sam Bo-
brick’s “Wally’s Cafe,” a comedy
about 40 years in the life of a Las
Vegas restaurant. The play runs

In Act III, it’s 1981 and a nek

cally inaccessible to potential cus’

lose their cafe when Janet, a
young friend of Wally and
Louise, comes to the rescue.
The MSC Dinner Theater's
production of “Wally’s Cafe" is

Border Patrol agents arrest hundreds
of illegal aliens on holiday weekend
EL PASO (AP) — Border Patrol
agents arrested interior-bound ille
gal aliens by the hundreds in El Paso
train yards over the weekend, while
the families of 18 Mexican men who
died in a boxcar trying to reach Dal
las waited Monday to claim their
dead.
known as the Grasshopper, or “el
Chapulin,” locked the doors.
Authorities believe the Grasshop
per is a Mexican national who oper
ated out of Mexico, possibly in the
border city of Ciudad Juarez, and
that he has fled into his country.
“The families are very anxious to
receive the bodies in their respective
little towns in Mexico, to pay their
last respects and have their Catholic
rituals,” said Heriberto Spindola, an
official of the Mexican consulate in
El Paso.
William Harrington, assistant
chief of the El Paso sector of the
Border Patrol, said, “After his name
showed up in the paper, he might be
in South America.”
As the Border Patrol continued its

posed bodies had been embalmed by

Spindola said 17 of the 18 men
who suffocated in an airtight boxcar
last week had been identified by
midday Monday.
El Paso Mortuary owner Jim
Weatherly said the county medical
examiner has completed legal identi
fications of the 18 bodies through
dental studies, fingerprints, tattoos
and scars.
“This is the land of plenty for anyone who has lived in
Mexico all his life and we’ll always have people coining
across to score a good job. ”

Of the 19 men aboard the ill-1

“Mostly they were good-looki^

Robert Chavez, who is affili

said “These people were tryin

But those deaths have failed to
curb the traffic of illegal aliens in El

and another 100 more were arrested
