Hardee’s victims identified
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Two
men who chased customers and
employees out of a fast-food
restaurant at gunpoint, then either
committed suicide or killed each
other while police circled the
building were mental patients,
authorities say.
The two men whose bodies were
found Wednesday night inside a
Hardee’s restaurant on Interstate
240 have been identified as Henry
Jeffries and David Price, said police
spokesman Capt M T. Berry.
Price, 23, was on a pass from the
Central Oklahoma Community
Health Center at Norman, about 20
miles south of Oklahoma City, while
Jeffries, 20, was absent without
leave from the center, Berry said.
State mental health officials,
citing confidentiality laws, declined
to discuss the two men whose bodies
were found by police storming the
restaurant after a three-hour stan-
doff
Berry said neither man was hit by
police bullets. He said police only
fired a couple of shots to break out a
window and toss in a concusion
grenade.
Asked whether it was a case of
murder-suicide or double-suicide,
Berry said that both men had been
shot in the head and “Price also had
a small-caliber gunshot wound to the
trunk of the body.”
Berry said investigators still were
trying to figure out what happened
He said that neither man had any
connection with the Hardee's
restaurant chain
Witnesses said two men bran-
dishing pistols entered the
restaurant and chased out the
employees and customers. Officers
who rushed the building found the
men, each shot in the head, and
Price had a wound to the body
Investigators still are trying to
determine why the men rushed into
the restaurant, he said While rob-
bery had not been totally ruled out, it
seemed doubtful since the cash
register receipts appeared untouch-
ed, he said.
Weapons were found by their
sides. Berry said

Income gap widens be tween rural and city
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A
new report by the Federal Reserve
Bank of Kansas City says the income
gap between rural and urban
residents is increasing for the first
time in two decades
Income per person averaged
almost $14,000 for residents of urban
counties in 1984, the report said
Average income per person in rural
counties was about $10,000 — 35 per-
cent less than city workers
The study also said agriculture
was not the only industry affected by
a depressed rural economy Bank
ing, manufacturing, mining and
other industries important to rural
communities also are in trouble, the
study said
‘Pioneers ’
say they
are young
SKIATOOK, Okla (AP) — When
the float carrying this year’s
Skiatook Pioneer Day Man and
Woman travels down Main Street on
Saturday, aboard will be two people
who say they believe they are too
young for the honor
Ruby Worley, who is 75, said the ti-
tle of Pioneer Day Man and Woman
"usually goes to someone who really
was a pioneer — someone in their
90s "
But friends at the Skiatook Senior
Citizens Center voted last month for
Mrs Worley and her husband,
Lawrence, 79, to ride the float during
the Pioneer Day Parade The float
will depict an old-time country store
and will carry other honorees in ad
dition to the couple
The parade is part of a three-day
celebration, which includes a rodeo,
a fiddling contest, turtle races, arm
wrestling, music and arts and crafts
shows
Mike Hulsey. Chamber of Com-
merce president, said the celebra-
tion. first called Spavinaw Days,
began in the mid-1930s when
Skiatook and Tulsa officials made an
agreement for Skiatook to receive
Spavinaw Lake water
‘‘It's evolved over the years to
Pioneer Days, and it gives a flavor
of our heritage,” he said, adding
that the Pioneer Man and Woman
are chosen for their contribution to
the community
The Worleys have lived in
Skiatook for about 30 years. They
said they met as teen-agers 60 years
ago in Sperry and were married in
1929 by a justice of the peace
‘‘Our families both were farmers,
and he just kept finding his way over
to our farm,” Mrs Worley said
Both said Oklahoma is a much dif-
ferent place than when they met in
the 1920s.
Mrs Worley said she remembers
the slow-paced lifestyles, dirt roads,
and how it felt to ride in a horse
drawn wagon
The report was written by Mark
Drabenstott and Lynn Gibson of the
Kansas City Fed and Mark Henry, a
professor of agricultural economics
at Clemson University who is a
visiting scholar at the bank The
study, based on data collected by the
federal agriculture, commerce and
labor departments, found that:
•Manufacturing, not agriculture,
is the greatest mainstay of rural
counties, accounting for 36 percent
of non-metropolitan income.
•Farming, retirement and govern-
ment each account for about 12 per-
cent of non-metropolitan income
However, farm-related incomes are
of greater importance in the
Midwest
•Traditional mainstays of the
rural economy, such as farming,
lumber, mining, energy and
manufacturing, remain depressed
because of foreign competition, the
strong dollar and weak world
markets
The economic downturn of the ear-
ly 1980s caused high interest rates
and a sluggish demand for farm and
manufactured products in rural
areas, the study said Eventually,
many manufacturing jobs were lost
to cheaper work forces overseas,
particularly in textiles and other
rural labor-intensive industries.
Severe problems in energy in-
dustries also added to the woes of
rural areas, where many jobs in
those industries are situated
As a result, the gap between the in-
comes of city dwellers and rural
workers began to widen, the study
said During the past 20 years, the
gap had been narrowing.
The report indicated the urban-
rural income gap was not likely to
change and noted the nation's shift
to a service-based economy has
primarily helped urban workers.
Clouds, fog and intermitten rain
dominated the local weather scene
this morning in Sapulpa.
Around Oklahoma, a flash flood
watch has been continued for por-
tions of south central and southeast
Oklahoma today. The watch area
was generally along and south of a
line from Waurika to Ardmore to
Atoka to Smithville.
Radar indicated an area of heavy
showers and thunderstorms exten-
ding east northeastward across ex-
treme south central and southeast
Oklahoma. Heavy rainfall over this
area during the past two days has
caused ground saturation with many
rivers and streams near or at
bankfull stages.
Additional heavy rainfall will pro-
duce rapid runoff and possible flash
Tooding.
An upper level system moving
slowly southeastward across the
state is helping to trigger the
precipitation with additional rainfall
amounts of l to 2 inches passible
over the watch area today
As the upper system continues
southeastward, clearing skies will
spread over the northwest half of the..
state this afternoon with rain ending
in the southeast early tonight.
A cold front moving
southeastward into northwest
Oklahoma Saturday may trigger
new round of thunderstorms along
and ahead of the front Saturday"
afternoon.
It will be partly cloudy with widely
scattered afternoon thunderstorms
Saturday, warming in the east and
turning cooler in the northwest.
Across the nation, rain dotted
broad sections of the nation today as
more thunderstorms rumbled into
West Texas, where floodwaters are
blamed for two deaths. I
Flash flood watches were posted
from southern Oklahoma across nor- .
them and western Texas.
Showers and thunderstorms were
scattered across the Northeast, -
Southeast, Florida and the lower ’
Mississippi Valley into Oklahoma
and Texas as well as southern South
Dakota and northern Wyoming.
A high pressure across the West
provided fair weather from the
Pacific Northwest into California.

OKC sues state tax commission
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -
The state has earned almost $5
million in the last five years on in-
terest on sales tax money receiv-
ed from Oklahoma City, and city
officials want the money back
In a lawsuit filed recently in
Oklahoma County District Court,
the city seeks to recover the $4 96
million in interest the state has
earned by collecting city sales
taxes, then holding the money for
more than a month before turn-
ing it over to the city.
The lawsuit names the state of
Oklahoma, Oklahoma Tax Com-
mission chairman Cindy Rambo
and state Treasurer Leo Winters
as defendants
‘‘We say the money that was
earned on city sales taxes
belongs to the city,” said
municipal counselor Robert
Allen. “We’d like them to return
it," he said
In addition to keeping the in-
terest earned on municipal taxes,
the Tax Commission also charges
cities a collection fee
Cities have complained before
about the money the state makes
off municipal sales taxes, but the
Oklahoma City lawsuit is believ-
ed to be the first legal action to
retrieve those funds

STILLWATER (AP) - The
general contractor on the $20 million
project at the Noble Center at
Oklahoma State University hopes
work can resume by Monday after
construction workers left their jobs
when a subcontractor filed for
reorganization in federal bankrupt-
cy court.
H.R Hannaford, vice president
for the general contractor, Roy J.
Hannaford Co Inc., and other of-
ficials met Thursday to discuss a
course of action, following the
walkout
"We haven't decided what action
to take,” Hannaford said He said
the company has until Monday to
take action under its contract with
MBA Commercial Construction.
A deputy clerk of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Denver said
MBA Commercial Construction filed
Wednesday for Chapter 11
reorganization A Chapter 11 peti-
tion provides the company protec-
tion from its creditors while
undergoing reorgaruzation.
MBA president Harry Adams said
company on-site management met
with MBA employees and stopped
work Wednesday on the Noble
Center. He said the project is the on-
ly one on which MBA is currently
engaged.
Adams said his company ‘‘is
ready and willing to resume work"
as soon as Hannaford will sit down
and work out disputed contractual
obligations with MBA officials. He
said bankruptcy court proceedings
would not affect the company's work
schedule.
The decision to file for reorganisa-
tion was made quickly, Adams said,
after MBA could get “no assurance
from Hannaford that we would get
more money for two more months. ”
The bankruptcy action “just pro-
tects our assets while we continue to
operate," Adams said.
STILLWATER (AP) — A judge
has agreed to speed up the jury
selection for the first-degree murder
trial of Kirk Warren McBrain after
only 18 jurors have been qualified to
hear the case after three days
McBrain, 24, is charged with the
death of Rosalie Adams. 15, of Ponca
City Her body was recovered from
the Chikaskia River of Braman in
Kay County.
With the questioning of prospec-
tive jurors entering its fourth day to-
day, only 18 people had been
qualified to hear the case against
McBrain
District Judge Lowell Doggett,
who is holding the trial in Payne
County District Court in Stillwater,
said prosecution and defense at-
torneys will pick a panel of 50 jurors
they feel are qualified to hear the
case From that 50, a jury of 12 plus
three alternates will be seated
Doggett has said he hopes to com-
plete jury selection next week
irsaS
m Oriw-lN Thutn 's—
The jurors picked for the panel of
50 are not being sequestered, but the
trial jury will be. Doggett said
Doggett agreed Thursday with a
motion by Brian Hermanson, the
court-appointed defense attorney for
McBrain, to speed up the court’s
questioning of jurors.
Prosecutors allege that McBrain
offered Miss 'Adams money to
change her story and exonerate him
of rape charges They allege that
when the girl refused, she was killed
and her body dumped into the river
A Noble County jury in Perry con-
victed McBrain in February of four
felony counts relating to the March
1984 abduction and rape of Miss
Adams He was sentenced to 28
years in prison.

request

many as 150, he said.
The layoffs are due in part to the
Oklahoma City plant's failure to be
chosen for the GM-10 project, the
automaker’s midsized car line of the '
future, also known as the W-car.
About 100 skilled workers who
were on hand to prepare the plant
for W-car production were displaced
in July when the factory was not
selected for the project. Those
workers were transferred to the
assembly line, which created a glut,
of workers there
