EDINBURG, Texas (AP)
— A former foreman of a
large Hidalgo County ranch
has filed $9 million lawsuit
against seven witnesses who
testified against him in a cat-
tle theft trial last year.
Pete Stout, once foreman of
the Monte Christo Ranch,
was indicted in 1979 in the
alleged illegal sale of 167
ranch cattle.
Stout testified at the trial
that he owned the cattle along
with an El Paso cattle dealer,
J. T. Marchant.
State District Judge Joe
Cisneros stopped the trial and
ordered a verdict of innocent.
He said the prosecution lack-
ed enough evidence.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas
(AP) — A federal jury has
awarded *30,000 in damages
to the parents of a youth who
claimed he was slugged by a
McAllen policeman in 1976.
Jurors decided Wednesday
that former policeman B. T.
Wilson used excessive force
in arresting Eddie Longoria,
15, and unjustly struck him
later at the McAllen police
station.
The teenager died in a car
accident in 1978, but his
father continued the civil
suit. The case is one of
several police brutality ac-
tions filed against the depart-
ment in the last two years.

MISSION, Texas (AP) -
Mission school officials say
they will cooperate fully with
an FBI investigation into the
district's lunch program.
FBI Agent Howard McCook
said the probe involves possi-
ble violations of federal laws
governing the $1 million year-
ly operation.
School Superintendent Ken-
neth White said his office has
looked into allegations of
wrongdoing in the program
for several months and an in-
ternal investigation cleared
the program.
A former supervisor at the
time of the allegations is no
longer employed by the
district, he said.
McCook said he did not
know who had requested the
FBI investigation.

NOW THAT’S REAL RELIGION!
Anyone who says he is a Christian but doesn’t control his
sharp tongue is just fooling himself, and his religion isn’t
worth much.
The Christian who is pure and without fault, from God
the Father’s point of view, is the one who takes care of or-
phans and widows, and whose soul remains true to the
Lord - not soiled and dirtied by its contacts with the world.
Dear brothers, how can you claim that you belong to the
Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, if you show
favoritism to rich people and look down on poor people?
If a man comes into your church dressed in expensive
clothes and with valuable gold rings on his fingers, and at
the same moment another man comes in who is poor and
dressed in threadbare clothes,
And you make a lot of fuss over the rich man and give
him the best seat in the house and say to the poor man,
“You can stand over there if you like, or else sit on the
floor” - well.
This kind of action casts a question mark across your
faith - are you really a Christian at all? - and shows that
you are guided by wrong motives.
