Rufe Jordan, sheriff of the Texas Panhandle county since 1951, was dealt a stunning defeat in last week’s election. Jordan, 75, was such a fixture in Gray County that no one had run against him since 1968. Again this year, his was the only name on the ballot. But Jimmy Free, one of two write- in candidates, ran on the issue of drug problems in Gray County and emerged with a 673-vote victory that surprised county residents as much as it did Free. “My chances were about 99-to-l against me when we started this race out,” the 43-year-old Free said Mon day. County Judge Carl Kennedy said that after almost four decades, a change in leadership of the county’s law enforcement will mark a major transition. “We (members of county govern ment) thought Sheriff Jordan did an outstandingjob,” Kennedy said. “Sheriff Jordan was a stabling fac tor in our county government,” he said. “We’ll miss him. But since the voters have decided on a change, we’ll do our best to help Mr. Free be the best sheriff he can be.” Kennedy said he remembers when a write-in candidate in the dis trict attorney’s race won about 40 years ago, but he didn’t expect Free’s write-in candidacy to succeed. Neither did Jordan, whose cam paign consisted almost entirely of letters sent to county voters a few days before the election. “I didn’t think they could win on a write-in ticket,” he said to the Am arillo Globe-News. “I don’t know just exactly what happened.” About 26,000 people reside in Gray County; 10,169 votes were cast in the presidential race, while 9,139 people voted in the sheriff s race. Free, who also finished ahead of another write-in candidate, Dan Taylor, launched his campaign dur ing the summer after Gray County, at Jordan’s direction, became the only Panhandle county not to partic ipate in a regional narcotics traffick ing effort. Twenty-five other counties are a part of the Panhandle Regional Nar cotics Trafficking Task Force, which began operating early this year using more than $12 million in state and federal funds. Jordan said he worried about the expense and about a lack of safe guards in the program, which uses undercover officers to try to stem drug sales. Pampa, the Gray County seat, joined the task force on its own in August. In his battle against Jordan, Free went door-to-door to ask for support and bought newspaper ads. Two killed, two survive Ft. Worth fire FORT WORTH (AP) — A fire at an eastside home claimed the life of a mother and her 5-year-old son, but her husband escaped carrying the couple’s younger boy, fire officials said Monday. Virginia Balk, 32, and Michael Balk, 5, died after the fire late Sun day destroyed the $45,000 wood- frame house. The woman was dead at the scene, and the boy was dead on arrival after being transported by helicopter to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas. Tim Balk picked up the couple’s 3-year-old son, Mark, and escaped from the house, officials said. The two were treated for smoke inhala tion and released from John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth. Fire department spokesman Butch Hall said investigators believe the fire started near a kerosene heater in the living room.
