HOUSTON (AP) — A man who
once owned the lion that attacked an
8-year-old girl at a flea market said
he reluctantly gave the beast away
after it injured his twin sons last
year.
William B. “Bryan” Fuller, 38,
also said the lion should not have
been on a long leash in a crowded
flea market where the girl was at
tacked over the weekend.
“If I had been there, the girl
never would have been hurt and
Caesar (the lion) would never had
been in the mall,” Fuller said.
The lion, part of an exotic animal
show, mauled Roxanne Hernandez
Saturday. The attack occurred when
the new owner was unable to re
strain the lion after it apparently be
came excited after knocking over an
ornament.
Spokesman Beth Sartori said Her
nandez underwent surgery Saturday
and Monday and remained in se
rious but stable condition Tuesday at
Hermann Hospital. No more sur
gery has been scheduled, but doctors
say she will face further operations.
The lion was put to sleep after be
ing taken from the flea market. Ful
ler said he recognized his former pet
on a television broadcast Saturday
night.
“I cried and I cried when I heard
about it,” Fuller told the Houston
Chronicle Monday. “It hurts me be
cause of the little girl’s condition and
what happened to Caesar.”
Fuller, a 38-year-old disabled la
borer, said he gave the lion to Gary
Durkovitz last Christmas, several
months after it injured his 3-year-
old sons, Lonnie and Christopher
Allen.
Durkovitz renamed the lion
Sampson and had promised to pay
him for the animal but never did,
Fuller said.

AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas Rail
road Commission has given up try
ing to decide which of its three mem
bers should be chairman, a post that
is largely symbolic.
Instead of choosing a permanent
chairman, the panel voted 3-0 Mon
day to rotate the post on a monthly
basis throughout next year.
The decision broke a tradition of
choosing the next commissioner to
face re-election as chairman for two
years. The inability to select a chair
man was due, in part, to dis
agreements between Commissioners
Jim Nugent and John Sharp over
commission policies.
Nugent and Sharp are Democrats.
That left the deciding vote to new
Commissioner Kent Hance, a Re
publican, who made the motion for a
rotating chairmanship.
“It certainly does not bruise any
one’s feelings, and it gives us time to
concentrate on the problems facing
the energy industry in Texas,”
Hance said.
Nugent will continue as chairman
through October. Sharp will take
over in November. Hance will be
chairman in December.
AUSTIN (AP) — A proposed
$80.6 million agreement to upgrade
state mental retardation services is
costly but fair, state budget overseers
said Tuesday.
The settlement of a 13-year-old
class-action lawsuit against the state
over the care of the mentally re
tarded in state schools has been
agreed to by attorneys on both sides
and is expected to be signed in Dal
las federal court Thursday.
“I think the attorney general did a
good job" in settlement negotiations,
Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby, chairman of the
Legislative Budget Board, said. “I
think it’s probably the best result
that could have been achieved.”
House Speaker Gib Lewis, board
vice chairman, said the settlement is
“as fair as you’re going to get,” but
he expressed concern about the cost
to the state.
The court-ordered shifting of the
mentally retarded from state to com
munity facilities when possible leaves
state schools “with less population
but still with the same amount of
overhead, and it’s putting a very
heavy financial burden on the state
at a time that we don’t have the
money to spare for those extras,” Le
wis said.
The Department of Mental
Health and Mental Retardation esti
mates that it would cost an extra
$17.7 million in Fiscal year 1989,
$31.7 million in fiscal year 1990 and
$31.2 million in fiscal 1991 to com
ply with the settlement agreement,
Tom Suehs, deputy commissioner
for management and support, said.
The agreement ultimately will in
crease the staff-to-client ratio by 15
percent over the next three years in
state schools, including doctra
nurses and physical therapists, if
partment officials said.
The negotiated agreement of tk
Lelsz vs. Kavanagh lawsuit is thtw
ond accord in less than two mock

Board Chairman Roger Batta
said. An agreement was sientd

“If pari-mutuel betting doesn’t
pass in Texas this year, I’m going to
sell everything I’ve got,” Richard
1 Fox said from his training and
breeding business near Albany,
about 30 miles northeast of Abilene.
“You can’t make any money in it.”
Fox, who has about 90 horses, said
he and another horse owner pay
about $30,000 to out-of-state train
ers to manage their animals and take
them to meets.
AUSTIN (AP) — An Alabama
lawyer said Tuesday that — based on
his observation of the new horse
race track in Birmingham — pari
mutuel betting is not all it has been
cracked up to be.
Dale Wallace, whose trip to Austin
was paid for by the anti-betting orga
nization Texans Who Care, referred
to the Birmingham Turf Club as a
“major debacle.”
Wallace appeared at a news con
ference with Sue Cox, campaign
manager of Texans Who Care, and
Gary McNeil of the Texas Baptist
Christian Life Commission.
Cox said, “The horse racing in
dustry has a long history of over
promising revenues, attendance and
jobs.”
Wallace, who unsuccessfully chal
lenged the Alabama pari-mutuel
betting law in court, said the Bir
mingham track was projected to cost
$56 million but actually cost $84 mil
lion, with an additional $12 million
in public iunds going foi*
roads.
He said there are $42
outstanding loans, and
racing day range from
$50,000.
Projected profits for the
ing season, which started in 1 '
were $5.7 million, Wallacesil
the track will actually lose i
$ 10 million,” he added.
Finances are “almostatth
the racing commission doeif :
have sufficient funds to opere
he said.
Larry Eliason, executive.^
of the Alabama racingcoit^
was not immediately avail) 9
comment.
McNeil, who spoke forlltf 1
tian Life Commission, tlf*
promoters of pari-mutuel f
as a “no-shame gang."
“They have no shame
comes to raiding the
to prop up their dyinj
dustries,” he said.
Churches and ministers have
raised cash for Texans Who Care,
the opposing group, and are leading
the charge against pari-mutuel bet
ting.
Fox and other supporters say
pari-mutuel betting on horse and
dog racing could pump $2 billion
into the state’s shaken economy.
Ricky Knox, executive director of
the Texas Horse Racing Association
said,“The people of Texas want jobs.
They know the economy needs to di
versify away from oil and gas.”
Opponents, however, think a
“yes” vote will lead to widespread
problems, including organized
crime and animal abuse.
Knox suspects that the Texas
Horse Racing Association has done
little publicity work in Atj
cause of the town’s religio^l
tion, which makes it a tr" r ®'
sell legalized gambling.
