About 90 percent of Danforth’s 400 students came to school Monday after an alleged bomb-attack plot was revealed over the weekend, Wimber- ley School District Superintendent David Simmons said. He said attendance is usually about 95 percent. “Some [parents] are concerned to the point that they did not feel safe in bringing their children back today, but 90 percent did,” he said. No security officers were on cam pus Monday, though some law offi cers were on patrol nearby if needed, Simmons said. On Friday, police arrested five eighth-grade boys from the school on juvenile charges of conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to com mit arson and conspiracy to manu facture explosives. The fifth boy was later released. The four 14-year-old boys in cus tody appeared before County Court at Law Judge Howard Warner, who ordered them to remain in juvenile custody until another detention hear ing. That has not been scheduled but is expected within 10 days. The boys wore orange jail jump suits and handcuffs as they were es corted to court by law officers. Warn er banned reporters from the proceeding, which was attended by the four boys’ parents, and issued a gag order on participants. Assistant District Attorney Patrick Keaveny would say only that, “The judge has detained them.” Hays County Sheriff Don Mon tague told a crowd of concerned par ents Sunday he is convinced the four youths were the only ones involved Silver Dollars For Those First Salutes!!
