(5 10,11,17, MONTANA RURAL WATER SYSTEMS, INC. ONE-DAY WORKSHOP FOR: Managers, Operators, Mayors, Council men and Anyone Interested In Water Supply in South Central Montana WHAT: Workshop on Training and Technical Problems Regarding "The Safe Drinking Water Act" and Your Water Supply WHEN: Friday May la, AM Registration Holiday Inn West, Big Horn Room. BilHrai. Montana ments were supported. It said James testified that the beating incident came about "purely as a result of a dispute between inmates in the penitentiary." James said the conflict arose while inmates were "engaged in a subcultural power struggle," according to Hoke.

According to Hoke, James said Connors had a substantial amount of cash, and had been able to arrange "contracts" on other prisoners, and this was what prompted the confrontation in Connor's cell. Connor was beaten about the head with a pipe in the incident, and died later the same day in a Casper hospital. Assistant Carbon County Attorney Kurt Kelly said James also would testify in still-scheduled trials in the case as a part of the plea-bargain, and said James' chances of parole were very slim. But he did say it was very likely that James would be transferred from the Wyoming facility. Shillinger was unavailable for comment RAWLINS, Wyo.

(AP) A 30-year-old Wyoming Penitentiary inmate has pleaded guilty in a plea bargain to charges stemming from the death last month of a reputed prison "con boss," authorities say. And a public defender for John James, 30, said James, in testimony accompanying the pleas, had exonerated prison Warden Duane Shillinger of allegations that he reneged on a deal with the inmate who died. Carbon County Attorney Craig Williams said James pleaded guilty Friday to first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and being a habitual criminal. Williams said the plea-bargain came as a result of conferences with Public Defender John Hoke, a Rawlins attorney representing James. Carbon County District Judge Robert Hill accepted the guilty pleas and sentenced James to serve two life sentences and an 8-10-year term consecutively as soon as his current term at the prison is over.

It was just announced Thursday that James, Robert Tindoll and Steven Comstock had been bound over for trial in connection with the April 11 death of Ray Connor, 54, of Snyder, Okla. The complaint alleged James beat Connor while Tin-doll stood guard. Tindoll and Comstock still face trial in connection with the incident. But Hoke said James had exonerated Shillinger of charges Connor made in an affidavit released after his death. In the affidavit, released after Connor's death by attorney Ralph Boynton, Connor said he feared for his life because he had helped Shillinger recover a gun that had been smuggled into the prison and allegedly was going to be used in an escape attempt.

Connor said Shillinger had promised to fight "hand-and fist" to get his sentence commuted, but then had failed to live up to his promises. Connor was serving a term as a habitual criminal. Shillinger has denied the allegations from the start, and in Hoke's press release Friday, his state Stream flow below normal in the north mal precipitation for the first time since October although totals for the year are still 125 to 250 percent of normal. High temperatures and early snowmelt are swelling many of the state's smaller streams to early peak flows. The North Platte and Laramie Rivers lead the state in promising excellent summer flows at 26 and 24 percent above normal respectively.

The lowest flow volumes are expected in the Big Horn and Black Hills drainages. Water storage in Wyoming's 13 largest reservoirs is nine percent above normal May 1 volume. The reservoirs are now storing 65 percent of their capacity. CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) Summer stream flows are expected to be "good to excellent" in southern Wyoming drainages, according to a re- "port issued by the National Weather Service and the Soil Conservation Service.

Unfortunately, the report says below normal runoff is expected elsewhere in the state and the driest areas will be in the northwest and northeast parts of Wyoming. Unseasonably high temperatures in April and the, lack of snow caused low and middle elevation snowpack levels to drop rapidly last month. The report says statewide snowpack levels have decreased 24 percent. Snowpack in the Laramie River Basin i novo 19 percent above normal and the North Platte Basin is still six percent above normal. Across the rest of the state, snowpacks range from 18 percent above normal on the Blacks Fork in the southwest to only eight percent of normal in the Black Hills.

April was dry enough to lower 1980 precipitation totals in northern Wyoming to 60 to 80 percent of normal. Most stations in the southwest quarter of the state reported little precipitation but are still slightly above normal for the year. Lower elevation precipitation for the month was well below normal over the state as a whole. Most stations received 25 to 50 percent of normal precipitation while about a dozen stations reported less than 25 percent of normal amounts. In April, southeast Wyoming fell below nor Park studies closing Potholes area to snowmobile users WYOMING TODAY most popular snowmobiling areas in the park.

The preference was being publicized now, the Puik. Service said, so that people would be aware of the agency's position when they comment on the situation at the hearings. Ralph McMulIen, executive director of the Jackson Chamber of Commerce, said he was informed of the preference by top Park Service officials last week. "The proposal is not ironclad, however, and they said we would have a good chance of keeping the Potholes open if we have a good argument for doing so," he said. 1 The Park Service banned snowmobiles in the area last winter because of new guidelines restricting them to unplowed roads in national parks, but the ban was lifted temporarily after protests by Wyoming's congressional delegation and Jackson area snowmobile enthusiasts.

MOOSE, Wyo. (AP) Unless convincing arguments are presented to National Park Service officials at two May hearings on a snowmobiling policy for Grand Teton National Park, the Potholes Area will be closed next winter, officials say. The Park Service has set public hearings in Golden, May 29 and in Jackson May 30 on an envirnmental impact report that suggests four alternatives for a snowmobiling policy. Alternative which would limit snowmobiles to 72.8 miles of unplowed roads and 26,700 acres of frozen waterways, is preferred by the NPS, according to an agency news release, because it most closely resembles national policy. Other alternatives range from a total ban to inclusion of the Potholes Area, a area of hills and depressions caused by melting chunks of glaciers.

A California court gave her custody of Jessica and did not give Peters visitation rights. Mrs. Peters said Peters took the child on Feb. 21 in California, and headed for Mexico. He was caught by border officials and Jessica was returned to her mother.

Peters took the child again on March 7, Mrs. Peters said, and took her to Pennsylvania. Authorities in Riverside, Calif, said Peters was charged in connection with the March 7 incident and released on $500 bond. This time Peters may have again taken the child to Pennsylvania, Mrs. Peters said, or to Canada.

She said he has relatives in Lansdale, Pa. Jessica is described as about 30 inches tall with blue eyes and blond, shoulder-length hair. She was last seen wearing a green MILLS, Wyo. (AP) The mother of a two-year-old girl, abducted by her father Wednesday in Mills, says the father has threatened before to kill her and the child. Linda Peters, the mother of Jessica Peters, said the child is scared to death of her father, Thomas A.

Peters, 35. He allegedly took the girl from her grandmother, Rema Lamb, at Mrs. Lamb's house in Mills Wednesday morning. A warrant has been issued for Peters' arrest and he has been the subject of a nationwide search. Mills police said he had not been found by Friday morning.

Mrs. Peters said this is the third time Peters has abducted the child, who will be two years old Saturday, and she fears for her daughter's life. Police reports say Peters beat and tied up Mrs. Lamb before taking the woman's car and the girl. Mrs.

Lamb said she broke her bonds and called police. She was treated for UW dean of education gives resignation LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) Laurence A. Walker, the dean of the University of Wyoming's College of Education, has announced his resignation from that post effective at the end of 1980, the college said Friday. Walker became acting dean of the college when Dr.

Ivan B. Willey resigned in 1970, and has been at the helm of the institution since then. Walker asked to be relieved of his administrative post in order to return to teaching and research, UW said. Lab evacuated after chemical spill CASPER, Wyo. (AP) A core-testing laboratory in Casper was evacuated Thursday when 25 gallons of the flammable, toxic chemical toluene sprayed out of a storage tank.

No injuries and no damages were reported in the accident. Company officials say the lab was back in operation about four hours later. 1- Core Laboratories, Inc. spokesman, E.J. Carr, said a technician apparently released the top of a pressurized container of toluene at about 10:15 a.m.

Leaking vapor triggered exhaust fans and an alarm, he said, and workers evacuated the building. Toluene is a clear, volatile liquid used to extract oil from soil samples. -r Core Laboratories officials apparently didn't ask for help from Casper emergency services until an hour after the chemical spilled. Then they requested an "explosion-proof fan" to disperse fumes in the lab, but a dispatcher apparently thought they said "explosion-proof van." The bomb squad, an ambulance, city and county fire trucks and a number of police and sheriff's officers were then dispatched to the scene. Gillette woman sues disco after a fall GILLETTE, Wyo.

(AP). A Gillette woman who says she literally tripped the light fantastic in a Gillette disco this winter has filed a lawsuit against the club owner. Jackie Jo Rogers, 24, said in a lawsuit filed in Campbell County District Court she was dancing at the Gay 90s Disco when she tripped over a raised section of floor panel covering lights. The suit, filed against disco owner Northern Development Inc. of Gillette, says Ms.

Rogers sustained "severe physical and mental injuries" in the fall. She is seeking unspecified damages and has asked a jury trial. According to her lawsuit, the dance floor consists of translucent panels beneath which are colored lights that can be dimmed and brightened in rapid sequence. The floor is bordered by mirrors at an angle to provide dancers with a view of the floor and their legs. Ms.

Rogers alleges she fell March 29 when she tripped over two panels which formed a small ledge. Dry weather lets farmers in fields' CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) April showers may have Jtept many Wyoming farmers from getting into their fields as quickly as they wanted, but a federal agency says farmers had a good week last week. The Wyoming Crop and Livestock reporting Service said farmers were able to get into the fields six days last week, and spring planting progressed rapidly. By the end of last week, farmers had planted 68 percent of the spring wheat crop, 61 percent of the oats and 74 percent of the barley crop, the agency said.

Topsoil moisture is adequate over 61 percent of the state and subsoil mosture is adequate over 73 percent of the state, jmproving prospects for spring and early summer grazing, the agency said. Wallop notes MX missile system change CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) Wyoming Sen. Malcolm Wallop says there may be more changes in the controversial "MX missile system before the system is built. Wallop said Thursday he thinks the Defense Department "may adopt an even cheaper version of the system, called a multiple aiming" system.

The Defense Department announced Wednesday it had -abandoned its "racetrack" plan of moving the missiles in a loop on, a rail system and instead will stretch them out along aline. But whatever system is built, Wallop said he foresees ''absolutely no chance" it will be built in Wyoming, because it requires large areas of flat ground. High court backs Thermop TV owners and a year passed without approval, so the Ernsts canceled the contract and announced plans to sell the station to another buyer. Strang sued, claiming there was an informal agreement that the deadline would be extended, and it had spent considerable amounts of money continuing its pursuit of the license transfer approval. Hot Springs County District Judge Paul Liamos Jr.

dismissed the case, ruling that the contract specified the right to cancel, and no written extension of the deadline had been incorporated. The high court agreed. Justice Robert Rose, who wrote the njajority opinion, said, "We are also of the opinion that the contract may be reasonably interpreted to justify But the opinion criticized the contract as being ambiguous. "The contract is un-grammatical and difficult to interpret," Rose wrote. He said, even so, an examination of the pertinent facts revealed no basic material factual dispute upon which a reversal of the summary judgment could be based.

"Having examined the record in great detail," Rose wrote, "we are unable to find any evidence whatsoever that (Strang) intended an interpretation different than that found by the district court. We will affirm the district court because we conclude that there is no material dispute." cal contamination of the town water supply.

(AP) The state Supreme Court Friday upheld the summary judgment of a lawsuit by a corporation wanting to buy a Thermopolis television station against the station's owners, who exercised an op-lion in the purchase contract to cancel the sale.

In a 5-0 decision, the justices affirmed the dismissal of the suit by Strang Telecasting, against Joseph Ernst and Mildred Ernst and Chief Washakie TV, operating as KWRB-TV. The Ernsts had agreed to sell the station to Strang on the condition that the Federal Communications Com-' mission approved transferring the license within one year of when the application was filed.
