South Texans
want ‘death trap’
road widened
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas
(AP) — Law enforcers call the
strip of highway a death trap.
Thousands of South Texans want
it changed.
Shocked by the death last
month of a popular Pettus High
School athlete, the community of
Pettus is joining an effort to widen
a treacherous portion of U.S. 181,
about eight miles north of nearby
Beeville.
The stretch — a shoulderless,
two-lane road that runs under an
abandoned railroad overpass —
leaves little room for passing vehi
cles to err.
About 4,000 South Texans
have signed a petition urging
county and state officials and area
congressmen to widen the stretch.

FORT WORTH (AP) —
Struggling with a leaky pipe in
her bedroom and a sink that
backs up in the kitchen, renter
Donita Banks has another
problem.
She hadn’t read the fine
print in her lease.
Ms. Banks, frustrated by her
landlord’s apparent inaction,
found the answer when she
went to the Texas Tenants
Union in Dallas. It asked to see
her lease.
The document required that
repairs be requested in writing.
“If your lease requires you to
give written notice, then you
need to have given it in writing
before he is obligated to fix,”
said Sandy Rollins, the tenants
union’s executive director.
It’s just one example,
lawyers say, of a big problem
in mediating landlord-tenant
disputes. Renters often don’t
read their leases — and don’t
know their rights.
In Ms. Banks’ case, Ms.
Rollins advised her to mail a
certified letter requesting the
specific repairs, followed by a
letter seven days later if the
landlord had failed to respond
to the first request within a rea
sonable time.
Precinct No. 3 Judge Sandy
Prindle of Fort Worth said that
aside from maintenance and re
pairs, nearly all other landlord-
tenant cases involve rent, evic
tions or security deposits.
“An eviction case in Texas is
the fastest legal proceeding in
the state,” said Prindle, who is
also legislative chairman for
the Justices of the Peace and
Constables Association of
Texas.
“It is designed that way be
cause the rental clock is run

Bees swarm San Anton
Alamo City resident stung more than lOOtil
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — An el
derly man was stung hundreds
of times by a violent swarm of
bees, becoming the latest victim
in a string of attacks in South
Texas.
Clarence Collins, 71, was
taken Thursday night to Wil-
ford Hall Medical Center for
treatment. He had been re
leased by Friday morning, hos
pital officials said.
Collins’ wife Ethel, a neighbor
and a San Antonio firefighter
also were stung when they came
to his aid, witnesses said.
Michael Blount, 36, was sit
ting in front of his house and
saw the bees attack as Collins
mowed his lawn at about 6:30
p.m. Thursday.
“He made a pass around the
tree and, ‘Wham!’ They hit him
all at once,” Blount said. “My
mother was standing out there
and she told me to run and help
him. He was trying to spray
them off with a garden hose.”
Blount, who was stung once,
told the San Antonio Express-
News the swarm was so violent
he could not get close to Collins.
“I had to pull my shirt off;
they were in my shirt,” he said.
“They swarmed across the street
and back. My neighbor had them
in her hair.”
Blount said the single sting he
received “felt like a lit cigarette,”
adding: “I don’t want'*
about what it would fetll
be stung a hundred tims’
