Sheriff vows injunction over racing wire cut in El Paso
El Paso May 14 United Press sheriff Joe Campbell said he expects an injunction suit soon after he cut a Western Union racing news wire serving Western states and Mexico. Campbell climbed a pole near the New Mexico border and severed the wire but an inspection found it not spliced. He warned he would cut it again if repaired. County Attorney Ernest Guinn said federal or state statutes do not forbid the action and noted gambling information dissemination is illegal in Texas. It was known that Silver State News Service working with Continental Press Service supplied horseracing information to bookie shops in El Paso.
