NEWS IN BRIEF
Matthew Shepard
death remembered
LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) —
Five years ago Tuesday, a
gay college freshman
named Matthew Shepard
was tied to a fence and
beaten into a coma.
His death five days later
left Peter Moran shaken
about the community of
27,000 where he grew up.
Today, Laramie seems to
be more tolerant and under
standing of gays. There are
seminars on homosexual
issues, diversity workshops
and an annual walk to raise
money for AIDS/HIV organi
zations.
Gay Awareness Week has
turned into Gay Awareness
Month, and the university is
supporting the Rainbow
Resource Center, where
gay students can hang out.
Shepard was attacked by
two men he met in a bar.
They talked him into their
pickup truck and drove him
to a sheep ranch, where
they tied him with clothes
line to a log fence. Using
their fists and the butt of a
pistol, the assailants struck
Shepard at least 18 times,
then robbed him of $20 and
his shoes, so he couldn’t
walk back to town.
The attackers were
caught, convicted and sen
tenced to life in prison.
Legislature would have to vote
to delay the primary, or change
the filing deadlines.
“(Craddick is) pretty happy
with what he’s got right now,"
said Craddick spokesman Bob
Richter. “He acknowledges that
there’s two counties that are still
a problem. One is Eastland, one
is Deaf Smith. But they feel like
they are real close.”
Before leaving the Capitol on
Tuesday for an East Texas
speaking engagement, Dewhursi
also said negotiators were wiite
one to two counties away font
an agreement.
“We’re so close, we-reaJly
ought to get a deal some time
today, this evening, early tomor
row morning,” Dewhurst said.
The Legislature is scheduled
to meet Wednesday. Richter said
Craddick hoped to have a plan
by Tuesday night and have the
House formally vote on it
Thursday. Richter said there is
concern that some legislators
might not show up Friday
because of the weekend football
game in Dallas between Texas
and Oklahoma.
