saw vehicle lights in the pasture early Saturday
morning. The man drove into the pasture to in-
vestigate the lights, and found a man in a Chevrolet
pick-up in the pasture and several small grass fires
burning, the report said
When the owner of the pasture arrived, the man in
the pick-up fled in his vehicle, the report said, and
when the pick-up stalled, the man ran away on foot.
An investigation of the pick-up by a sheriff's office
deputy revealed the vehicle had apparently “been
rigged to start fires," according to the report. The
deputy found two batteries under the hood, con-
nected to wires running under the vehicle. The
wires, the report said, were connected to an antenna
at the back of the vehicle which dragged the ground
and “heated by the batteries set the grass on fire."
Lester Horstmarin, district mahager for Lone
Star in Denton, was not available for comment this
morning. However, at the time he requested the
rate increase, he said the company had incurred a
loss of 9 15 percent rate of return on ita fair value
rate base in 1977.--.----------—---——

Sheriff awaits
‘sting’ results
Capt. Dwight Crawford of the sheriff’s office is
awaiting word from the Dallas and Fort Worth
police departments on whether any property
recovered in recent “sting" operations conducted
by those agencies may have been taken in Denton
County thefts.
Crawford said this morning that 80 percent of the
recovered property has been identified, but another
20 percent remains to be traced. Lists of the
unidentified property will be circulated to'all law
enforcement agencies in the early part of
December, Crawford said, for possible identifi-
cation.
At this point, Crawford said, none of the serial
■ numbered items reported stolen in Denton County
have been found among the recovered property.

the Civil Defense room at City Hall, a proposed bond
of $330,000. —
City Attorney Paul Isham said the Public Utility
Regulatory Act allows a utility, 90 days after a
requested increase, to post bond and to raise its
rates until the governing body sets new rates.
“The council delayed consideration of the rate in-
crease for 120 days when it first looked at the
request on Aug. 17," he said.
Isham felt the council would go along with the
proposed bond.
“The requested rate increase would generate
about an additional $1 million in revenue for a year
The bond would cover three or four months then and
give the council time to make a decision on the rate
increase," he said.
The bond will guarantee a refund on any over-
charges, if, when the council sets the now gas rate.
It is less than the rate increase requested by Lone
Star.
Isham also said the council will considering a pro-
vision in setting the bond to allow for the bond to be
