A 150-pound cylinder of chlo-
rine gas was reported missing from
Lindale Rural Water Supply Co.
Friday, and a company spokes-
person says the gas is deadly.
Debbie Scott, officermanager,
said the cylinder was located in-
side the chlorine room at the well
on Wood Springs Road about 1/2
mile South of Interstate 20.
She said the suspect or sus-
pects removed the cylinder
through a hole cut in the tin build-
ing. The suspects first cut the fence
to get on the property, she said.
“This gas, in any amount, is
deadly,” she said. “They (instruc-
tors at training schools) tell us that
if we enter a room and smell the
gas, we should leave immediately.
We have to wear special masks
when we are working with it.”
The gas smells like chlorine,
she said. Persons exposed to the
gas for any length of time will
Lynn Kennedy of Highway 16
West reported a red battery-pow-
ered Jeep and a baseball glove
missing from his front porch June

the case should contact Constable
Dennis Taylor.
Taylor said several cases of
damaged mailboxes have been
reported recently.
On June 17, Margaret Mize of
Farm Road 2710 reported that her
mailbox and her son’s mailbox
had been knocked down. Taylor
said he believes a car ran over
them. Persons with information
on the case, should contact Tay-
lor.
On June 9, Harold Bing of
County Road 498 reported sev-
eral mailboxes had been knocked
down during the night.
On June 16, Rev. Byron Grand
of County Road 444 reported that
his mailbox was also knocked
down.
“There is a $100 reward for
anyone who has information lead-
ing to the arrest of anyone respon-
sible for doing damage to these
mailboxes or any other mail-
boxes,” Taylor said.
On June 17, Dora Bryant re-
ported that her 1976 Toyota Celica

her residence on County Road

A wallet was found inside the car

gas missing from the chlorine
room at Well No. 1, located on

Taylor said the gas is deadly,
and anyone with information on
the location of the gas, should
contact his office immediately.
On June 21, Taylor was called
by the Department of Public Safety
to bring drug dog Sugar to inves-
tigate a vehicle on Highway 69
nearthe riverbridge. Sugar alerted
law enforcement officials to mari-
juana in a handbag that was in the
vehicle.
Taylor continues his series on
evictions this week as he addresses
the topic of distress warrants.
“Information fact sheet—the
Texas Property Code allows for a
landlord to protect his vested in-
terest from residential rental prop-
erty by allowing seizure
(landlord’s lien) of a renter’s per-
sonal non-exempt property. The
distress warrant is nothing more
than this same exercise by a land-
lord, except that it occurs on com-
mercial property. The key for all
officers to remember is that this is
the only purpose of a distress war-
rant. All information for distress
warrants are derived from the
Texas Rules of Court contained
within Rule #610 through #620,
which are as follows:
“Rule 610 application for dis-
tress warrant and order — either
at the commencement of a suit or
at any time during its progress the
plaintiff may file an application
for issuance of a distress warrant
with the justice of the peace. Such
application may be supported by
affidavits of the plaintiff, his agent,
his attorney, or other persons hav-
ing knowledge of relevant facts,
but shall include a statement that
the amount sued for is rent, or
advances described by statute, or
shall produce a writing signed by
the tenant to that effect, and shall
further swear that such warrant is
not sued out for the purpose of
vexing and harassing the defen-
dant. The application shall com-
ply with all statutory requirements
and shall state the grounds for
issuing the warrant and the spe-
cific facts relied upon by the plain-
tiff to warrant the required findings
by the justice of the peace. The
warrant shall not be quashed be-
cause two or more grounds are
stated conjunctively or disjunc-
tively. The application and any
affidavits shall be made on per-
sonalknowledge and shall setforth
such facts as would be admissible
in evidence provided that facts
may be stated based upon infor-
mation and belief if the grounds
of such belief are specifically

experience burning in the mem-
branes of the nose and throat, and
a burning sensation in the lungs.
Severe coughing will follow.
“If someone has it and doesn’t
know what it is, you will find him
dead somewhere,” Ms. Scott said.
Smith County Constable Den-
nis Taylor said he thought the
burglary was drug-related.
Ms. Scott said Friday’s bur-
glary marks the fifth time this
year that the site has been broken
into.
“Usually, they just get our air
compressors,” she said. “This is
the first time they have gone into
the chlorine room.”
Ms. Scott said the company
uses chlorine gas to treat their
water.
Anyone knowing the location
of the missing chlorine or other
informationonthe burglary should
contact the Constable’s Office.
No warrant shall issue before
final judgement except on written
order of the justice of the peace
after a hearing, which may be ex-
parte. Such warrant shall be made
returnable to a court having juris-
diction in the amount of contro-
versy. The justice of the peace in
his order granting the application
shall make specific findings of
fact to support the statutory
grounds found to exist, and shall
specify the maximum value of
property that may be seized, and
the amount of bond required by
the plaintiff, and further shall com-
mand that the property be kept
safe and preserved subject to fur-
ther orders of the court having
jurisdiction. Such bond shall be in
an amount which, in the opinion
of the court, shall adequately com-
pensate defendant in the event
plaintiff fails to prosecute his suit
to effect, and pay all damages and
costs as shall be adjudged against
him for wrongfully suing out the
warrant. The justice of the peace
shall further find in his order the
amount of bond to replevy. Which,
unless the defendant chooses to
exercise his option as provided in
Rule 614 shall be the amount of
the plaintiff’s claim, one year’s
accrual interest if allowed by law
on the claim, and the estimated
costs of court.
“Rule 612 requisites for war-
rant — a distress warrant shall be
directed to the sheriff or any con-
stable within the State of Texas. It
shall command him to attach and
hold, unless replevied, subject to
the further orders of the court hav-
ing jurisdiction, so much of the
property of the defendant, not
exempt by statute, or reasonable
value in approximately the amount
fixed by the justice of the peace,
as shall be found within his
county.”
ordered to appear in court before
Judge Baldwin.
A fuel drive-off was reported
atRoad Runner. A subject pumped
$12. W into a red Chevrolet
pickup. A customer reported the
information including the license
plate number to the attendant. The
license plate number was regis-
tered for a Dodge pickup. Police
failed to locate the subject.
Police officers assisted the
Sheriff’s Department with a dis-
turbance at Coachlight Inn in
which a man and woman were
involved in an argument. The ar-
gument was settled at the scene.
During the week of June 15-
21, the Lindale Volunteer Fire
Department responded to 10 calls.
Two car fires were reported
with one being a total loss.
Other calls included a house
fire on Farm Road 724. This fire
resulted in minor damage to the
house.
The department also re-
sponded to a fire at Hide-A-Way
Lake Lodge, but the LVFD was
cancelled by Hide-A-Way Lake
fire department before its arrival.
The department also received
a report of a possible gas leak on
Ann Cambell Road, but nothing
was found.
An officer responded to a pub-
lic service call at NuWay to open
a car in which a child was locked
inside.
A female juvenile was reported
as a runaway. The child’s father
located his daughteratherfriend’s
house.
Now that summer vacation
time is here, Chief Rutherford says
Lindale residents should notify
the police department before they
leave town so that officers can
make periodic checks on these
unoccupied homes.
Firefighters also responded to
three major accidents and assisted
emergency medical technicians on
two calls.
