Republican Terry Reynard of rural Muncie recorded a campaign income of $3,250.

Sen. William McCarty, D-Ander-son, was the leading money-maker among Senate candidates in four East Central Indiana districts.

"If you want to rescind the agreement, do it," Razor said. "Let's do it now." Dunnuck advised the council not to withdraw from the interlocal agreement. He said the agreement was part of a federal court order and that the court could shut down the Delaware County Jail immediately if the agreement was voided. Dunnuck said he had been told by city officials that Muncie would sue Delaware County for money the city had invested in the project if the county pulled out. The attorney said the construction company and other interested parties might also have grounds for a lawsuit.

He said the council should let the courts decide the issue. "You mean city taxpayers are going to be suing county taxpayers?" Parsons asked. Amburn questioned Dunnuck's advice. "After all, he is making $75 in court to represent them against the taxpayers," Amburn said. After the meeting, Stanley said she would no longer try to get with the city council to discuss the agreement.

The status of the agreement was called into question after city officials began searching for a new home for city hall. The bond issue to finance the complex includes $1 million to buy the Indiana Michigan Electric Co. building along Walnut Street between Wysor and Gilbert streets as the site of the new city hall. But has not agreed to sell, and the city is looking elsewhere. Shroyer has said the fact that the city is looking for other places for a city hall does not mean the city wants out of the interlocal agreement.

Amburn has sued to stop the building of the proposed $21-million complex because of the cost to property taxpayers. Amburn said the next step for him was to win his case in court. "We got them by the tail as far as that's concerned," he said. Bomb Squad Blows Up Box of Kittens RAMONA, Calif. (AP) Someone left four kittens inside a sealed box outside a bank, and a sheriff's department bomb squad fearing foul play exploded it, killing three of the animals.

"It was just a horrible thing to see," said Sgt. Conrad Grayson of the sheriff's arson bomb squad after authorities discoverd their mistake Monday. The lone survivor showed no signs of injury Tuesday, a veterinarian said. Authorities first suspected that a bomb might be inside the tightly wrapped box left outside the Home Savings of America office Monday morning in the northen San Diego County city, Grayson said.

When the convoy reached the Memorial-Madison intersection, the police officer there was startled when it did not turn west to follow the designated route. Instead, it went north on Madison. More trouble followed. Somewhere between the MadisonMemorial intersection and White River, the ambulance struck something, and a rear tire began to go flat. Fadely said Tuesday he thought the ambulance was being escorted by a police car but was not sure for what distance.

He said he thought something was struck first by the car and then by the ambulance on Madison Street between Memorial and the Conrail underpass. At the underpass, he said in the statement given the coroner, the ambulance hit a "bump," causing the patient monitor to go "straight line," or showing the patient in cardiac arrest. Police, meanwhile, set up their roadblocked route again along Madison and Wysor streets and Wheeling and University avenues. But the Med-Tec ambulance instead turned west on Main Street and went through the downmtown district "all the way to the river and Jackson Street," Stonebraker said. Fadely said he radioed the hospital on the IHERN frequency to report on the patient and, when he realized the tire was going flat, asked that a Delaware County ambulance assist him and his crew.

He said he asked for a rendezvous at Jackson Street and McKinley Avenue. A county ambulance was dispatched from Ball Hospital, EMS records show, but to McKinley and University. The call was canceled seconds later when the Med-Tec crew decided it could make it to the hospital. It arrived with Weaver at 1.25 a.m., 4 minutes after the EMS ambulance arrived with Wedmore. Weaver was pronounced dead at 2:07 a.m.

Scroggins said Tuesday afternoon that he lacked confidence in Med-Tec "to handle this kind of case." "Granted that with her injuries, she would not have survived," he said, "we need to make sure that every case is handled the best way possible." mrJ id ill l.Rocrr BARTLES J.

"I thought also it was SOP standard operating procedure for the county to respond even when we did," Fadely added. The Med-Tec ambulance and crew of three arrived at the accident scene about 6 miles from Med-Tec headquarters at 12:51 a.m.

City, state and county police were already there. The paramedic and one technician found Weaver pinned under the motorcycle at the edge of the road, severely injured but breathing and with a discernible pulse. The other EMT attended to Wedmore, less seriously injured and lying on the highway a few feet away. A city police officer who asked his dispatcher to "send the paramedics" was told that a paramedic was en route with Med-Tec. The dispatcher did not know that the Med-Tec paramedic had no ALS equipment.

Fadely said Tuesday that he was certain his crew also had asked that paramedics be sent, the request going from the Med-Tec dispatcher to the EMS regular telephone number. The EMS dispatcher on duty said no request for paramedics was received. Thus the Delaware County paramedic unit, completing another assignment but still at the hospital, was not sent, and the EMS dispatcher was instead instructed to send another ambulance. A Daleville ambulance, standing by at EMS headquarters in Muncie after completing another assignment, was dispatched at 12:51 a.m. and arrived at 1:01 a.m.

Med-Tec personnel and police at the scene told Stonebraker that the motorcycle was removed from Weaver soon after the first ambulance crew got there. "She had a badly injured leg and actually, the weight of the 'cycle was acting as a tourniquet," Stonebraker said. When the motorcycle was removed a process that witnesses said took several people and involved cutting some of Weaver's clothing to free her bleeding began. The ambulance crew placed inflatable pants on Weaver's legs, put a collar on her neck to prevent further injury there, rolled her onto a backboard and placed her in the ambulance. The Med-Tec ambulance left the accident scene with its paramedic and a driver aboard, leaving the other EMT with Wedmore.

Sheriff's officers say a request was made to set up an emergency route to the hospital with police blocking intersections. The route to be followed to the hospital was Madison Street to Memorial Drive, west to Martin Luther King Boulevard to Tillotson Avenue, north on Tillotson to University Avenue and east to the hospital. City, county and campus police were in place at major intersections when the ambulance left the accident scene. Three minutes later, the ambulance stopped at Madison and 29th streets "to stabilize the patient," Fadely said. Fadely arrived there about the same time and, transferring the ALS equipment to the ambulance from his vehicle, assisted the paramedic.

An oxygen bottle had to be changed, Fadely said, and there was a problem with power on the heart monitor. Two city policemen arrived to assist but had to leave a couple of minutes later to attend to a report of a man with a gun in a nearby convenience store. In the ambulance, an unsuccessful attempt was being made to place intravenous tubes in the patient, a routine practice. Meanwhile, police blocking intersections en route to the hospital were wondering what had become of the ambulance. Med-Tec ambulances have their own radio frequency for voice transmissions, plus the Indiana Hospital Emergency Radio Network frequency to enable personnel to talk with hospital emergency room personnel.

They do not have access to frequencies used by the county EMS or any law enforcement agency. There is no record of when the Med-Tec ambulance set out again, but when it did leave 29th and Madison streets, it was followed by a city police car plus the Med-Tec vehicle that Fadely had brought, Council- KESSLER WHISKEY 948 1.75 LITER SEAGRAM'S GIN MTiWAUKEEfiUiL i ll regular or light I lJ 1.75 LITER 998 i i Hfc' SCHRANCK'S 9 fX (Continued From Page 1) Jones refashioned the 1987 budget to show the savings and returned the excess to the county last year. Commissioners wanted to use part of this year's excess for the construction. Councilmen Ray Parsons, Mary K. Stanley, Robert Donati and Brad Razor turned down the request during the first vote.

"I think the council made a big mistake," Council President Jack Peckinpaugh told his peers. Bell said the county would spend a lot of money trying to bring the older building up to state requirements. Councilman Ruth Dorer asked what would happen to the 20 residents of the brick wing if nothing were done. She received no response. Parsons said he thought the county might be able to complete construction at a lower cost if commissioners sought new bids from contractors.

"It's a problem, not only for the county commissioners," Bell told the council with emotion in his voice. "It's a problem for you, and I hope you can face it." During the discussion, Amburn spoke with a representative of Attlin and then told councilmen they should reconsider their vote. "I can honestly say I've never seen anybody build a building for such a low profit margin," said Amburn. The council then took another vote, and Parsons and Stanley supported the transfer. After the council meeting, commissioners met and awarded the contract to the low bidder, Attlin Construction Inc.

of Muncie. Attlin submitted a low bid of $477,890 to build the 24-bed, one-story facility, designed to replace a three-story aging brick building at the center. Commissioners set the ground-breaking ceremony for 10 a.m. Friday at the center.
