By CASSIE MACDUFF Sun Political Editor Beginning Tuesday, it may cost more to use pay telephones in California, said Assemblyman Brett Granlund, R-Yucaipa. Federal deregulation is the reason.

How much more will it cost? "We don't know yet, because pay phone providers want to keep competitors guessing about their prices," Granlund said. "However, we do know the price may vary depending upon the pay phone provider and location of the pay phone." Directory assistance calls, previously free, will now be charged, but 911 emergency calls still will be free, he said. Granlund Leonard ment agencies.

Desert man held as assault suspect VICTORVILLE A 25-year-old man faces up to a year in jail for allegedly engaging in sexual intercourse with a horse. Brian Courtier of Victorville has pleaded innocent to a misdemeanor charge of sexually assaulting horses at the Mojave Narrows Regional Park, said Sheriff Sgt Barbara Ferguson.

He was in custody Friday in the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga, with bail set at $7,500. A park caretaker noticed that horses had been taken from a corral, moved around and left in nearby swamplands, Ferguson said. Deputies staked out the corrals on Wednesday night and saw Courtier taking a horse from a pen and leading it toward the swampland. Officers followed Courtier and arrested him after he allegedly sexually assaulted the horse.
