THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LUFKIN — Federal and state
health officials on Wednesday
tested rodents for a mysterious
and deadly virus suspected in the
death of an East Texas woman.
A 58-year-old registered nurse
who died June 23 is a suspected
victim of hantivirus, which has
killed 11 people in the Four Cor
ners states of New Mexico, Ari
zona, Utah and Colorado.
John Bautch, district adminis
trator at the Angelina County and
Cities Health District, on
Wednesday said preliminary lab
results back up the suspicions.
"They found the presence of
(hantivirus) antibodies," Bautch
said. "In talking with TDH (Texas
Department of Health) yesterday,
they said it was highly suspected
that it was the virus."
Final tests, being conducted by
the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention in Atlanta, should
be completed in about two
weeks, officials said.
A rodent trapped at the
woman's home in Zavalla, about
22 miles southeast of Lufkin, was
also being tested for the virus. In
the Four Corners cases, the dis
ease was found to have been
spread by rodents.
Bautch said investigators from
the CDC and the state health de
partment were setting up shop in
Zavalla on Wednesday to trap ro
dents there. Samples will be ana
lyzed in Atlanta, officials said.
Vol.92 No. T
Deputies bust marijuana demonstration
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN MARCOS, Texas - A
four-week demonstration in front
of the Hays County jail to protest
marijuana laws and support a
hunger-striking inmate has been
broken up by sheriff's deputies.
The protesters — who promote
various uses for hemp, the plant
marijuana comes from — had
built a tent city on the lawn in
front of the jail.
They support inmate Zeal Ste-
fanoff, who has been serving time
since June 3 for marijuana posses
sion and ended a 34-day hunger
strike early Tuesday. Stefanoff
turned himself in to protest laws
banning hemp use.
One demonstrator, Brett Stahl
of San Marco, was charged Tues
day with criminal trespassing
when he refused to vacate the
grounds after a deputy's warning.
"The sheriff said I could stay
here as long as I was passive and
nonviolent," Stahl said before be
ing carried off to jail.
Sheriff's department officials
refused to comment on their rea
sons for forcing the protesters to
leave.
"We feel that any further com
ment just glorifies their cause,'
said Lt. Dennis Gutierrez.
Sheriff Paul Hastings said last
week he didn't mind the tent city
protest, as long as the demonstra
tors weren't rowdy or breaking
the law.
