when the man threatened to hit him with a toy rack, said Jackson Police Detective David Fondren. Two men came into the store about 12:30 p.m. and attempted to shoplift some beer, police said. The clerk told the men to return the beer. They did and left the store.

When the men returned a few minutes later, one pulled a .25 automatic handgun on the clerk. "Somehow in the heat of the battle, the clerk got possession of the gun," Fondren said. The clerk started firing when he was threatened with the toy rack. The men left running. Later, James Bryant, 23, of 3844 Azalea Drive, went to UMC for treatment of a gunshot wound to the lower back.

"He has been charged with attempted armed robbery," Fondren said. Bryant is being held in the City Jail. liamson said. "After the airplane goes down, they'll take it out of the plane. The plane will float for a little while," he said.

"This will keep them safe until a helicopter comes to pick them up." Being prepared is one of the Guard's priorities, evidenced by the mobile hospital and operating room on display at GuardFest '90. The hospital ward, which contained about 15 cots, consists of a single tent that usually takes a cou-' pie of hours to set up, said 1st Sgt. Stephen Bell of Hattiesburg. "We use 18 people for training purposes to set it up. You can do it with less," he said.

The tent on display at Shelby was similar to ones transported to St. Croix in the Virgin Islands last September when Hurricane Hugo raked across the Carribean on its way to the east coast. More than 50,000 people were left homeless and at least 25 people died in the Carribean. Military plangs ferried radios, drinking water, generators, chainsaws and other equipment to stricken areas where people pleaded for help. "We transported medical tents like this one," said Sgt.

Ronald Jay of Newton. "It took us three days to send them from the Guard base at Jackson, Hattiesburg Municipal Airport and Keesler Air Force Base." Travel on state aircraft This is the flight log for the state-owned aircraft for July 3-11: July 3 Chief State Pilot Richard Kaldon flew to Winston City, to visit a factory that manufactures mobile homes. Miles: 360. Cost: $402. July 3 The state plane traveled to Tupelo to pick up House Speaker Tim Ford in his hometown in Lee County and fly him to work at the Capitol in Jackson.

Miles: 270. Cost: $450. July 4 Ford returned to Tupelo and the plane flew back to Jackson. Miles: 270. Cost: $280.

The cost difference was due to using different aircraft for the two flights. July 5 Attorney General Mike Moore, staffers Bill East and Trey Bobinger, and state Bureau of Narcotics officials Jerry Detman and John Kitchens flew to Pasca-goula to meet with law enforcement officials about illegal drugs on the Gulf Coast. Miles: 280. Cost: $355. July 9 Mississippi Depart Manhunt From IB 845-7508.

After 5 p.m., the phone calls to that number are automatically switched to the Rankin County Sheriffs Department, he said. The investigation is being conducted by both departments. Delta Express officials, who are reportedly putting up the reward, refused comment late Saturday. Details on the shooting in Yazoo City were sketchy late Saturday. Yazoo Police Detective Mike Wallace identified the wounded man as Ronnie Parker, 20, of Yazoo City.

Parker was in critical condition at the University Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the abdomen late Saturday. "I don't have all the information I need. I have witnesses I need to talk to," Wallace said. He would not release any more information. In Jackson, a clerk at the Circle convenience store at 4888 Waltkins Drive, disarmed a man pointing a gun at him and began shooting Guard From IB "All are privately owned and donated to the museum." Eppling and the others who work in their spare time at a special shop located at Camp Shelby find spare parts from civilian auto parts stores or scavenge them from other old military vehicles, he said.

It's not hard to find old military vehicles. Most of them have been purchased at military equipment auctions by construction companies, Eppling said. "They usually leave them rusting in the woods when they are finished with them," he said. Ricky Richards, 2, of Wiggins discovered he liked the 22-man survival raft on display by the 172nd Air National Guard Unit from Jackson better than the old vehicles or newer tanks and helicopters on display near the demonstration field. "How do you get in?" he asked Sgt.

Kirby Williamson of Jackson. "We don't want to get in it right now," Williamson told him. Richards hiked his right leg up toward the top of the raft that reached to his chest. He pulled on a strap. After a couple of tries he went around to the other side of the raft and attempted the same manuever.

"Does it have water?" Richards asked an older boy as he stood on tiptoe looking over the edge. The rafts are stored on airplanes in case the pilot has trouble over water and has to ditch the plane, Wil TRIVIA ANSWERS Mrs. Louise Cranberry homemaker TERRY Mrs. Louise Gran-berry, 85, of Route 3, a homemaker, died of respiratory failure July 13 at Hinds General Hospital.
