Cuevas Convicted in Huntsville Shootout Trial
The defense and state rested after evidence was limited to a single document on Ignacio Cuevas, the lone gunman survivor. Prosecutor Sandel argued a conspiracy among three convicts to kill if not allowed to leave prison, while Gray noted the capital murder charge rests on circumstantial evidence. Ingram testified Cuevas fled Reeves County after a 1970 murder, held hostages, escaped jail, and was recaptured.

Architect estimates low cost for hospital
Turner and Associates of Corpus Christi projected a 60 bed Reeves County hospital could be built and equipped for not more than 2.7 million dollars or 35 dollars per square foot, far below the 3.5 million bond issue approved by voters. The firm recently completed Starr County Hospital at Rio Grande City costing 1.875 million. Turner plans weeks of local study to tailor the design to Reeves County needs and potential expansion.

Norther blows back bringing winter weather to state
Gusty norther returns as Texas faces lingering winter conditions. Snow flurries in the Panhandle and drizzle from the Hill Country to Austin signal a shift from near summer warmth. Record low readings and fog affect travel along the coast while a broad winter storm spawns heavy snow across the Plains and Midwest, with warnings from Colorado to Illinois. Cotton production totals for Reeves, Pecos, Presidio, and surrounding areas show lower yields than last year.
