59 miles southeast of Los Mochis. The
site is 730 miles from Mexico City.
Torrential rains over the last week
were blamed for the crash.
‘‘The cause was quite clear. The
heavy rains loosened the railbed and
the rails just gave way,” said Roberto
Martinez Maestre, a spokesman for the
state government based in Mexico
City.
But it was not immediately clear if
the bridge was swept away or
weakened by floods before the train

the train jumped the rails.
The search for bodies continued
into the night, with reacue workers
working knee-deep in mud and water
along the river saying they expected
the death toll to surpass 99.
Derailed passenger cars were
jumbled along the tracks like straws.
Helicopters landed rescue workers
nearby and casualties were taken out
on railroad handcars.
Rail and rescue officials could
provide no immediate breakdown on
the nationality of the victims. Eleven
bodies identified Wednesday night
were all Mexican, and one official said
the train was patronized almost entire-
ly by poor Mexicans.
The train, popular known as “The
Burro” because it stops at almost
every station, was on its way from the
coastal resort of Mazatlan to Mexicali,
across the border from Calexico, Calif.
News photographers who flew over
the scene said they could see passen-
ger cars lying jumbled, some of them
on their side, in the river at the bottom
of a deep ravine.
In Mexico City, President Carlos
Salinas de Gortari expressed his
condolences to relatives and said in a
garment he had ordered National
Railways — which includes the Pacfic
route _ to pay compensation and
burial costs.
Survivors were being put up in local
hotels and would be given money for
travel and new clothes.

service training for officers. This room
would be equipped with a television
monitor, slide projector and various
other training materials. It also would
be used as a conference room.
The plans also call for two holding
cells and one padded cell.
A padded cell is long overdue for
the protection of violent and suicidal
prisoners, Sole said.
The holding cells are needed for
prisoners to be placed while they are
being processed into jail. For example,
several prisoners can be brought into
the police department at one time.
They could each be placed into the
holding cell, brought out and
processed and then placed into a regu-
lar cell.
The building proposal also includes
several offices for administration
purposes.
Robbery..
(Continued from Page 1) •
armed robbery of a Bristow liquor
store and kidnapping of a Bristow
man.
Steele and Chum also are charged
with robbery with firearm, kidnap-
ping, assault with a deadly weapon and
possession of a stolen vehicle.
Connie Stice, an employee of Jack’s
Liquor Store in Bristow, testified that
the store was robbed at approximately
8:35 p.m. June 12.
She identified Steele as the man
who came into the store and asked for
some liquor. She said he put a duffle
bag onto the counter and started
putting the bottles in the bag.
Stice also testified that Steele pulled
out a shotgun from the bag and said he
wanted all her money.
“He let me know that he would blow
This would include a new office for
the Chief of Police and secretary.
The present chieFs office is small
and also is being used for overflow
storage.
Sole said in most police depart-
ments, the chiefs office is not located
adjacent to the lobby. At the present
time, the chief cannot talk with anyone
in private because of the the arrange-
ment of adjoining offices, which are
separated from his office by a single
door.
Also, the secretary is presently
working out of a 8x 10-foot office with
no privacy. This office also contains a
computer for the entire police depart-
ment, filing cabinet and other equip-
ment. It also is located near the lobby.
Plans also include relocating the
assistant chief, chief of detectives and
patrol captain’s offices.
Sole said these offices need to be
near the chief and the secretary.
A shift supervisor’s office would be
used by the person on duty to review
reports and the activity of die shifts. It
also houses walkie talkies, flashlights,
radar units and other equipment used
by the patrol division.
A dressing/bathroom for men and
women also would be provided.
Presently, employees of the police
department have to use the same facili-
ties as the public.
Officers also need wall lockers to
put their personal items in, such as
clothing and other police equipment.
Plans for an enclosed garage is
included in the bond proposal.
The garage would allow officers to
drive in and unload prisoners in a
secure place.
Sole said this would cut down on
escape risks.
An upgraded communications
system also is part of the question.
The present radio system uses a
frequency that is used by several other
departments. The new system would
utilize an 800 mhz frequency band that
would have no interference.
Sole also said it is sometimes criti-
cal that police communications not be
available to the general public.
Currently, any standard police scanner
is capable of intercepting communica-
tions. He said this often prevents offic-
ers from properly doing their job by
warning criminals of police actions.
He said this is a severe handicap when
trying to enforce drug laws.

me away if I didn’t give him the
money,” Stice said.
She said Steele was shaking the gun
towards her when he was talking.
Stice said she gave Steele approxi-
matley $270 and some change from
the store.
She also said Steele pulled the tele-
phone receiver from the wall and told
her to get in the back room and lie
down.
Stice said after she heard Steele
leave the store, she crawled to the side
door and told a customer she had been
robbed and then activated the alarm.
Albert Strome also testified that at
about 9 p.m. June 12, a red car pulled
into his drive with a flat tire. The
persons inside the vehicle asked for
help in fixing the flat tire.
Strome identified Steele and Chum
as the two inside the vehicle.
He told the court that he then agreed
to take his pickup to get a spare. While
the three were in the vehicle, Steele
pulled out a shotgun from a bag and
said Strome was going with them.
Strome also testified that Steele said
he did not want to hurt Strome but he
would if he had to.
He told the court that Steele pulled
out whiskey from the bag, and offered
some to Strome.
They drove to Tulsa, got out of the
pickup and gave Strome $10 for gas
and change for the turnpike gate from
a roll of quarters.
He also testified that one of the men
said the Oldsmobilc the pair originally
was traveling in was stolen.
The hearing was passed to 1:30 p.m.
Aug. 23 in district court.
Steele and Chum are both being
held in the Creek County Jail.
