Blanchard’s father, Robert Blan

killed in 1981 when a car driven by a
drunken driver struck them while
they rode bicycles near their home,
officials said.
Blanchard, the divorced father of
a 2-year-old son, and a friend, Jim
Anderson, were riding on Blan
chard’s motorcycle early Monday
and had slowed down to pull off the
freeway when a shot was fired from
a van. police said.
Anderson, who noticed blood
coming from Blanchard’s helmet,
ran to a nearby restaurant to call for
help, police Capt. Bill Cummings
said.
“The motorcycle had slowed
down enough that he (Anderson)
could just step off,” Cummings,
commander of the department’s
criminal investigation division, said.
Hill told police he had been work
ing for his father’s company in (he
oil fields in Buffalo, about 150 miles
south of Dallas. He said he go) into a
fight with a co-worker, and his fa
ther ordered him to go home to Ok
lahoma.
‘‘He had left Buffalo, Tx., mad,”
Cummings said. “Supposedly he was
shooting his gun on the way up on
Interstate 45.
“He just said he’d been shooting.
He didn’t say if he had been shoot
ing at anybody. He says he doesn’t
even remember shooting inside the
city limits of Denton.”

Seventeen miners remained hos-
jlized Tuesday in Palau and
pa Rosita, Dr. Carlos Aguirre
jinazo, deputy director of the So-
ISecurity Hospital in Palau said.
Tetardo Acosta Garcia, an investi-
pr with the federal Public Min
istry, said 138 men were inside the
government-owned Sidermex Steel
Co. mine when an electric trans
former at one of the mine’s substa
tions short-circuited and caused the
explosion and fire. Most of the men
got out on their own after the blast.
Coal dust and accumulated gas
probably fueled the blaze.
“I just thank God I made it out,”
Ismael Soto said in an interview
from his hospital bed. Soto, who has
worked at the mine for eight years,
said he was on the mine’s ninth level
Monday when the explosion oc
curred on the 10th level, about 490
feet below the surface.
Friends and relatives of the bur
ied miners huddled around camp
fires overnight outside the mine’s
entrances, about 80 yards from the
mine shaft where workers brought
victims to the surface.
As bodies slowly were recovered
guards at the gates called for family
members to come inside and identify
them.
Jorge Antonio Bonita said he was
asked to identify a body believed to
be that of his brother.
“We couldn’t tell who it was,” Bo
nita said. “He didn’t have a crown
(on his tooth), so maybe it wasn’t
him.”
Felipe Perez Ortiz, the miner
heading the rescue team at the mine,
said, “We don’t believe there’s a pos
sibility that anyone remains alive.
