They said Kenneth Taylor, 56, left Yuba City after a lawsuit was filed against the business and moved to Carson City in September. Taylor was shot to death Saturday evening after he opened fire on of ficer Troy Callahan, who stopped him for allegedly stealing cigarettes. Callahan was shot in the chest, but has been moved from the intensive care unit at a Reno hospital to a private room. He is listed in satisfactory condition. An autopsy concluded that Taylor was hit by seven rounds fired from Callahan's gun.

A bystander, Vitunne Visuthicho, was wounded in the buttocks by a stray bullet. Deputy Chief Jim Weston said preliminary information developed by detectives indicated the gun used by Taylor was stolen. The gun, described as a cheap "Saturday Night Special," reportedly is registered to a person in Yuba City, Weston said. The investigation also turned up a Cadillac in the supermarket shopping center that was reported stolen from a Sacramento auto dealership in an armed holdup. have the same rules and reglations as the rest of those in gaming" Reid said.

"The purpose of the act was to make sure that Indians could do what non-Indians could regarding gaming, but no more. Lujan has given them more." Miller said he and Clinton have discussed at length the issue of a nuclear waste dump at Yucca Mountain, 100 miles northwest of Las Vegas. State officials are vigorously opposed to the project. Congress has designated Yucca Mountain the lone site to be studied for a repository that would hold 77,000 tons of radioactive waste from the nation's nuclear power plants for up to 10,000 years. The bill was crafted by Sen.

Bennett Johnston, La. "Both he (Clinton) and Sen. (Al) Gore have talked about alternative forms of energy, phasing out of nuclear power," Miller said. "Second, he has indicated that Nevada has been singled out, and that he will review the entire process and see that it is fair, and is based on science." Nevada officials have long claimed the state was the recipient of the nuclear dump project because of its lack of political clout. the governor told the Associated Press Tuesday.

"He listened intently, and said he would discuss it further. He said he was very concerned, and said he would listen and be responsive to those of us who have been his stronger supporters." Indian gaming and a nuclear waste dump top the list of concerns Nevada leaders would like a new administration to address. The Indian Gaming Act of 1988 allowed Indian tribes to set up gaming operations on tribal lands. Sen. Harry Reid, an author of the bill, said the law called for state control of such operations.

But Interior Secretary Manuel Lujan has said Indian gaming is not subject to state control. The federal mandate has led to the proliferation of Indian gaming nationwide and barred Nevada officials from controlling such operations in the state two issues of major concern to Nevada. "Secretary Lujan has not helped us, he has hurt us," Reid said been an obstacle to fairness." Asked if a Clinton administration could be more helpful on the issue, Reid responded: "We can't do any worse than Lujan. He was terrible.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, he said about 45 storms a season could be seeded. Now, it is down to one-third of that or less. "All the storms are generated in the Arctic and sweep down across the Pacific," he said. "In the last few years, they've been tracking down and going more to the north or sometimes to the south." Warburton agrees with other weather scientists that conditions this fall may be more favorable to pushing some storms through the Sierra and northern Nevada, although nobody is making any firm predictions.

RENO (AP) One of the pioneers in the developing science of cloud seeding is stepping down from his administrative chores at the Desert Research Institute to concentrate on research. Joseph Warburton, 69, has been with the institute north of Reno since 1965. For the past eight years, he has supervised the cloud seeding effort that has added billions of gallons of water to the Sierra watershed. Warburton has retired as executive director of the institute's Atmospheric Sciences center and is stepping down as director of the Western Regional Climate Center. The center, founded by Warburton in 1986, focuses on weather issues from the Rocky Mountains west.

Humorist Merrill Markoe predicts that during the next century sex and dating will be so dangerous (due to communicable diseases and personality disorders) that only the thrill-seekers will try it. "They'll be the same people today," she writes, "who do things like bungee jumping, sky surfing or eating at Denny's." That's depressing. So what's the answer?

It was sharing, forgiving, understanding and sacrificing. It was tolerance, patience and gentleness toward one another.

One of his innovations is intended to better measure the amount of snow that falls as a result of pumping silver iodide into storm clouds. It's estimated that seeding added about 13.7 billion gallons of water to the Tahoe area last year, but scientists aren't sure just how much moisture is squeezed out of storms by seeding. Warburton also led development at the institute of instruments to measure the amount of supercooled water in the clouds. Water that is below freezing converts more readily to snow.

LAS VEGAS (AP) Worrisome issues dogging Nevada such as Indian gaming and a controversial nuclear waste dump will get a new look under the administration of President-elect Bill Clinton, key Democrats believe. "Early on in the campaign we became involved and received assurances that he was very concerned about the West, and would value our input on issues that might be more regional," Gov. Bob Miller said Tuesday. Miller, a Democrat, was one of Clinton's early supporters.

He spent three days with him on a seven-city swing through the West last month, that ended with a visit by the candidate to Las Vegas. "I discussed Indian gaming with him on that last swing," Miller said. "That's one of the reasons I've been supporting him. We want somebody who listens to us, and he listens extremely well. "I wanted to inform him about our concerns about Indian gaming," Miller said.

"I told him that tribal nations should have the same rights as any other citizen," but should not have rights denied to others. "I pointed out that unlimited gaming throughout the country would not be in the best interests of anyone," At a time when women like me should have billfolds bulging with pictures of grandchildren, we're walking around with snapshots of our kids with their dogs and cats.

Defense lawyers Sharon Claassen and Mark Haines argued that the bathroom stalls weren't clearly visible to the public. Haines said the videotapes should have been suppressed because of the methods used by deputies in the case. Ms. Claasen added that the search methods were so intrusive that even children, who authorities wanted to protect, were videotaped using the toilets. A ruling on the appeals from Ronald J.

Pierson, Todd Ostler, Boyd Allen Camper and Donald E. Young will be issued at a later date.

FABFEL I 1 I 1 I CARSON CITY (AP) Claims of privacy rights by four men convicted of lewdness in a local park restroom were questioned today by a state Supreme Court justice during a high court review of their appeal.

Justice Tom Steffen said the Mills Park restroom was small and there were no doors on two stalls in which the men were videotaped engaging in lewd or homosexual activity. Nineteen other men also were taped by a hidden camera. "It's clear that these men could have been observed" by anyone walking into the bathroom, Steffen said, adding that the appellants couldn't assume the "reasonable ex pectation of privacy" guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Steffen added that many of the complaints that led to a sheriffs department investigation probably stemmed from innocent people walking into the public restroom that had become "a haven for criminal activity." District Attorney Noel Waters said any privacy rights were "marginal at best" given the behavior of the men, 4 ROCCUN ri I i Print answer here: Yesterday's Jumbles: Answer: ENVOY The only people who were safe when that man-eating tiger got loose WOMEN KIDS bw Miller's Original Murder hearing begins JL JLeels Down" Riding sneaker surpasses All Competition: CARSON CITY (AP) A Justice Court preliminary hearing started Monday for a San Diego, man accused of killing his mother, found shot to death in her car in a local casino parking lot nearly 10 years ago.

Timothy Michael McClure, 31, charged in the death of Terri McClure, was arrested in September following a probe into clues provided after the case was aired on the "Unsolved Mysteries" television show. Ironically, McClure had contacted the television show in the hope that by telling his story a viewer could back up his alibi, host Robert Stack I $16.00 ROOM RATE had said when the show was aired. Sheriff Paul McGrath said his office was told by the show producer that McClure wanted to do the show and investigators worked with the producer to get more information in what had become the oldest unsolved murder in recent Carson City history. McClure has claimed he was with his new wife at a Lake Tahoe casino during the period in which authorities believe the murder occurred. Detectives dispute McClure's alibi and say that he allegedly canceled his mother's credit cards two days after her death and before her body was discovered.
