The InternationalPRESIDIO, Oct. 1, 1998 - A Presidio resident has been named by Mexican State Judicial Police as the person responsible for the stabbing death of a young Ojinaga man this weekend.

Mexican police identified the alleged suspect as Angel Gallegos Sigala of Presidio and previously of Ojinaga, where he has a long list of delinquent activity. The victim was identified as Enrique Zeus Dominguez. The McCamey NewsMcCAMEY, Oct. 1, 1998 - You could tell things weren't going right from the beginning.

The class 3-A Kermit Yellow Jackets blew out the McCamey Badgers 47-6 to spoil McCamey's homecoming. Although the Badgers played well defensively, big plays by the Jackets ran up the score and the Badgers never really got untracked on offense.

The four counties are Terrell, Val Verde, Kinney, and Edwards. The drug task force will be solely for the purpose of drug interdiction within the four-county area. It will be financed by grants already approved and the promised funding of another grant from an organization in El Paso - High Intensity Drug Interdiction Area (HIDIA).
