More inmates sent to hospital
with symptoms of infection
HOUSTON (AP) — Eleven Harris County Jail in
mates remained hospitalized Monday with symptoms
similar to a bacterial infection that killed two inmates
last week, a hospital spokesman said.
Two inmates were admitted Monday morning, while
the others were hospitalized over the weekend, Nora
Shire, spokesman for Ben Taub Hospital, said. One
prisoner remains in critical condition, she said.
The others are in fair condition and are suffering
flu-like symptoms, Shire said.
None of the inmates hospitalized at Ben Taub was
identified.
Preliminary autopsy results indicate that inmates
Ricky LaBreck, 30, and Rene Puentes, 21, had con
tracted pneumococcus or pneumococcal sepsis, a bacte
rial infection that affects the lungs.
Lanny Chopin, jail medical administrator,
county authorities have not uncovered a con®
source of the infection.
LaBreck and Fuentes were housed in separatece!f|
locks on the ninth floor, officials said. HP-
“To my knowledge, they (the ill prisoners) caljM j
from different areas of the jail,” Shire said.
Meanwhile, jail inmates say they have been
panic since the outbreak began last week, as guards!
portedly shun those with runny noses and otnenyn gio
toms of the pneumococcus bacteria infection,
“This thing is either going to kill us, or we’re^
kill each other,” inmate Mike Reese said of the inn®
f rustration. Reese was a cellmate of LaBreck, wl
from the illness Thursday.
Gulf States Utilities says increase is
AUSTIN (AP) — Gulf States Uti
lities Co. president Linn Draper told
the Public Utility Commission Mon
day that his company is trying to be
fair to ratepayers and shareholders
in its proposed $67.5 million electric
rate increase.
“I believe that if this proposition is
accepted, it will . . . balance the inter
ests of the shareholders of the com
pany and the ratepayers who live in
an area that’s been economically
troubled for some time,” said
Draper, who is also chief executive
officer and chairman of the Beau
mont-based utility.
The proposal includes an $88 mil
lion rate increase. That increase
however would be reduced by a fuel
refund to $67.5 million. Under the
proposal, residential customers’
rates would rise from $79.67 to
$85.50 for 1,000 kilowatt-hours.
But 14 cities participating in the
PUC hearing nave passed ordi
nances to cut GSU’s rates 3.5 per
cent, a $14.4 million reduction if a
plied systemwide.
The cities are Conroe, Cut and
Shoot, Cleveland, Somerville, Port
Neches, Groves, Nederland, West
Orange, Orange, Vidor, China,
Bevil Oaks, Bridge City and Colmes-
neil. GSU has filed a lawsuit to keep
rates at the current level pending a
commission ruling in the rate case.
Grace Casstevens, attorney for the
cities, said during a break in the
hearing that financial forecasts show
the company’s condition “is great,
especially after 1992.”
“They’ve now got cash coming out
of their ears,” Casstevens said. One
forecast shows that with no rate in
crease, the company will have $1.4
billion in cash on hand in the late
1990s, she said.
Draper acknowledged after com
pleting his testimony that GSU’s fi
nancial picture has improved, but he
said that trying to make it look rosy
is “sort of putting rouge on the
corpse.”
“Certainly it’s in their interest to
make us look as good as they can,”
he said. “That’s a tough job . . . We
haven’t paid dividends in three
years.”
Draper said he would not predict
when the company might be able to
resume paying dividends, but
Casstevens said, “The financial fore
casts show that with no rate incre*
at all, they can make up all theirf
ferred dividends and start pa)t
common dividends after 1992.'
A key part of GSU’s so-calledS
gional Recovery Plan, which
eludes the proposed rate increase
for the commission to re-exa®
$1.4 billion in River Bend nucif
power plant construction costs
pending in a previous rate case.
In that previous case, the PUC
lowed the company to pass anotfc
$1.6 billion in costs to customers.

HOUSTON (AP) — Two missing
teen-agers were found shot to death
near Conroe in what investigators
believe mav have been a murder-sui
cide but relatives say is foul play.
Montgomery County Sheriffs De
partment spokesman Bob Morrison
said bodies matching the descrip
tions of Angela Renee Guenther, 15,
of Shenandoah and Johnnie Wei-
singer, 17, of Houston, were found
in a 1979 blue Chevrolet Camaro
near a creek south of Conroe Sun
day. Each had been shot once in the
head.
Morrison said a small-caliber
handgun in the car is believed to be
Weisinger’s. Authorities are investi
gating the possibility that the couple
was shot in a murder-suicide.
Relatives believed the couple met
with foul play.
“He never gave his parents
problems,” Weisinger’s gra
mother, Marie Weisinger, said,
