Blaze destroys
trailer, kills nine
women, children
SILVERTON (AP) — Two
women and six children died early
Tuesday when a faulty propane
heater ignited a fire that engulfed
their mobile home and trapped
them inside, officials said.
The women’s husbands escaped
and were able to pull a boy and a girl
to safety by breaking out a window,
James R. Edwards, chief of the Bris
coe County Volunteer Fire Depart
ment, said. The four were hospital
ized in stable condition.
Edwards said firefighters found
the trailer in flames when they ar
rived shortly after midnight at the
remote wheat and cattle ranch about
60 miles southeast of Amarillo in the
Texas Panhandle.
“By the time we arrived, there was
nothing we could do but extinguish
the fire and recover the bodies,” Ed
wards said.
Edwards said the two men, who
are brothers-in-law, do not speak
English and did not have a tele
phone in the trailer. He said they
broke into another trailer to call
someone who then contacted fire
fighters.
“They indicated the thing just
blew and that was it,” Briscoe
County Sheriff Dick Roehr said.
“They didn’t know what was going
on. It just happened and it was all in
flames before they realized what was
going on.”
Roehr said, “We’re convinced it
was purely an accident. I suppose
we’ll make more inquiries to be abso
lutely certain.”
The victims included a 25-year-
old mother and her five children,
her sister-in-law, also 25, and her
daughter. The children ranged in
age from 5 months to 7 years, and
Roehr said some of the bodies were
burned beyond recognition.
He said the women and children
never had a chance to escape.
Edwards said firefighters thought
all of the victims’ bodies had been re
moved by 2 a.m., when seven were
recovered. But after speaking with
the survivors, they realized the 5-
month-old baby’s body was still iti-
side the charred trailer, and re
moved it at 5:40 a.m.
Roehr said Francisco Palacio, 28,
and Samuel Davila, 28, escaped with
two of Davila’s children.
Palacio is a hired hand who lives at
the farm, owned by Teddy Dale
Hancock, Edwards said. Davila and
his family had been visiting Palacio
for the past two weeks while Davila
looked for a job.
The four adults were legal aliens
from Mexico and the children had
all been born in the United States,
Edwards said.
Hancock’s daughter, Rhonda
Hancock, described the Palacio fam
ily as people who were “just trying to
make it in Texas” and said they were
close-knit and religious, driving a
100-mile roundtrip to attend church
in Fairview almost every Sunday.
Palacio had worked for Hancock
for eight years and had lived on the
3,000-acre ranch since December
1986.
“He had access to everything 1
had,” Hancock said. “When I wasn’t
home, he could use my home, pick
ups and farm equipment. He hadn’t
worked for me for eight years for
nothing.”
The two men and the rescued
children, Samuel Davila Jr., 6, and
Edna Davila, 4, were hospitalized for
smoke inhalation at Swisher Memo
rial Hospital in Tulia. They were
scheduled to be released Wednes
day, Edith Gillham, a hospital nurse,
said.

Black leaders try
to take down flag
from Capitol dome
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) —
Law officers arrested Alabama
NAACP President Thomas Reed
and 10 other black leaders on Tues
day when they tried to climb a fence
around the Capitol to take down the
Confederate battle flag flying over
the dome.
Reed, a state representative from
Tuskegee, led a group of several
dozen blacks to a driveway gate
where Reed talked to state troopers
for almost 20 minutes before at
tempting to climb the 8-foot high
fence.
“I consider myself not violating
the law of this state,” Reed said.
After officers grabbed Reed by
the collar and pulled him down from
the fence, other members of his
group, among them National
NAACP board member Emmett
Burns, attempted to climb over but
also were restrained.
“We are under arrest,” state Rep.
John Rogers of Birmingham said as
he entered the bus. The charges
were not immediately known.
Earlier, as crowds had gathered
for the march sponsored by the
NAACP, local and state law enforce
ment officers set up barricades and
confiscated an ax handle.
Reed contends the flag represents
racism and oppression and said that
if it was not taken down voluntarily
he planned to “enter the Capitol
grounds and climb to the top of the
state Capitol dome and remove the
Confederate battle Hag,”
He said the banner is resented by
blacks and “better-thinking white
people.”
The NAACP also is campaigning
to bring down Confederate battle
(lags at statehouses in Alabama and
South Carolina, as well as remove
Confederate flags from the designs
of the Georgia and Mississippi state
flags.
State officers said they confiscated
an ax handle from three youths in a
pickup truck during a search, but
made no arrests.
Capitol security police were under
orders from Cov. Guy Hunt not to
allow anyone to reach the Capitol,
which is undergoing renovation and
is surrounded by a locked, chain-link
fence.

Police patrol pairs may become permanent
1 in j ;
a 2-year
gr;
fraught
site.
DALLAS (AP) — Dallas police will patrol in
pairs for at least three more weeks and the ar
rangement may be made permanent for many
officers if the response time stays low, officials
said.
Police Chief Billy Prince ordered police to pair
up a week ago after the shooting of of ficer John
Chase, who was alone on patrol Jan. 23 when a
homeless man wrestled his service revolver away
and shot him in the face three times.
Statistics indicate the average response time to
emergency and high-priority calls for assistance
was just less than 11 minutes during the first two
weeks of January, before Prince ordered the two-
officer squads.
Under the experimental program, the re
sponse average was exceeded only on Saturday,
when it took patrol officers an average of 1 3 min
utes to answer to high-priority calls, such as open
buildings, suspicious persons and burglar alarms.
Assistant Chief John Driscoll said response
times have not increased significantly under the
experimental program because, in the past, two
officers were sent to most serious calls.
“If the figures stay like this, then the review
will be favorable,” Driscoll said. “But it’s too early
to get a decent reading on response times.”
Driscoll, head of the Patrol Division, said the
department eventually may assign 80 percent of
its patrol officers to two-person squads, a move
that would cut by 20 percent the number of cars
