The Paris News, Thursday, August 8, 1991- State State representative found dead AUSTIN -Travis County officials planned to conduct an autopsy today on the body of state Rep. Larry Quincy Evans, a Houston Democrat found dead in his South Austin TEXAS apartment. Evans was pronounced dead shortly after 3 p.m.

However, homicide investigators ordered an autopsy to determine the cause of death," Reed said. House Speaker Gib Lewis announced Evans' death shortly after 5 p.m.

Researcher says drownings unreported COLLEGE STATION A Texas researcher says lawmakers have overlooked potentially dangerous situations in Texas coastal areas because drowning records were grossly underreported for eight years. Kenneth Saunders said Wednesday that records from Galveston and Nueces counties show there were 102 drownings between 1980 and 1988 that were not included in the Texas Department of Health's 405 recreation-related drownings reported during that time.

"Due to a variation in the way drownings are recorded statewide and from county to county, state officials are not receiving a realistic picture of the dangers posed by Texas' coastal waters," said Saunders, an graduate student working for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Procter Gamble closing Dallas plant DALLAS A 70-year-old Procter Gamble plant in south Dallas will begin phasing out its production to close by mid-1992. The closing of the -making plant will be a harsh blow to an area that's already struggling to hold onto jobs. "A corporation that's operated so long in a historically deprived area, deprived because of bank red-lining or a lack of economic initiatives by the city, is a tremendous loss," said Jim Washington, owner of The Weekly, a community newspaper. "That plant is as significant to south Dallas as American Airlines is to the (Dallas-Fort Worth) Metroplex." Dallas agrees to pay attorneys $1.4 million DALLAS City Council members agreed Wednesday to pay $1.4 million to attorneys for plaintiffs in a successful redistricting lawsuit.

The agreement reversed Monday's rejection of the fee payment and set the stage for a Nov. 5 election approved by the U.S. Justice Department. Fourteen Dallas council members will be elected from singlemember districts and the mayor will be chosen in citywide balloting.

Large groups of killer bees discovered COLLEGE STATION Africanized honey bees have been found in surprisingly large numbers in northern Mexico, indicating that south Texas may be due for heavy swarming, a researcher tracking the bees says. A research project trapped more than 120. swarms in the Mexican state of Nuevo I Leon last month, 60 of them within a 2 squaremile area, said Orley R. Taylor. "The number of swarms moving through there is just enormous," Taylor said Wednesday.

"We stopped counting at 120 swarms." -NationalHostage's sister confident of release CADIZ, Ky.
