into, the extent of liability, but
voted to pay after Roger Rat-
liff advised them to do so.
“What sticks in my craw,”
said Mayor Hays, “is that we
got a lot of bad bad publicity."
He said he referred to a news-
paper article which had read
that Sheriff Billy Paine had
presented the bill to Commis-
sioners Court when the City
had not paid it. Hays and Coun-
cil man John Fordinal said
they felt the City of Silsbee
was subsidizing, through its
prisoner board contract with
the County, other cities which
used jail facilities — if those
cities did not pay for it. (The
City leases a cell block ii
County Jail for its prisoners)
Councilman C. E. Landolt
told of reports he said he had
heard that some Silsbee pri-
soners were placed in the
"drunk tank” overnight, even
if they were not intoxicated
particularly if they were
brought in late. Other items of
contention were also discussed
— including an alleged lack
of bedding in the Silsbee cell
block.
Landolt said, " It looks like
someone over there is running
a campaign to give us a hard
time and I don't like it." He
continued, “We are not getting
cooperation from the Hardin
County Sheriff, and the City
taxpayers should not have to
shoulder this additional bur-
den.”

Suit Filed In
Fatal Accident
At Eastex Mill
The death of a worker by in-
halation of sulphuric acid
through a facial mask at the
Eastex Inc. paper mill at Eva
dale was the basis of a $3,402,-
000 damage suit filed Friday in
federal court in Beaumont.
Plaintiffs in the suit are Mar-
ilyn Kay Hughes, Brandon
Lynn Hughes and Jarrod Jay
Hughes, widow and children of
Charles Riley Hughes who died
June 5. They live at 655 Ver-
mont, Beaumont.
Hughes, 28, an employe of
Stebbins Engineering and Man-
ufacturing Co., was working in
the defendant’s Tower No. 50
at the time of the accident,
(according to the petition.
The deceased and a co-work-
er were being furnished fresh
air through the masks, It. is
claimed. Suddenly the fresh air
was replaced by sulphuric dio-
xide, a compound that when
mixed with moisture becomes
sulphuric acid, the petition stat-
ed.
Before Hughes could remove
his mask, "sulphuric acid had
entered, his nostrils, mouth,
throat and lungs to the extent
that same finally resulted in
his excruciating paniful death,”
the petition said.
The suit claims Eastex was
negligent.
