Longtime sheriff
fails to win election
against write-in
PAMPA (AP) — The man who
headed Gray County’s law enforce
ment for the past 38 years will turn
in his badge next month and attempt
to settle into what he termed an un
welcome retirement.
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.
