Judge Orders Deposition in Hicks Civil Wiretap Case
U S District Judge William Taylor orders Dallas detective Roy Lee Lowery to give a deposition in the civil wiretap suit filed by Planeite Joe D Hicks. Hicks, jailed in Fort Worth on narcotics conspiracy charges, faces an Aug 23 trial in Eldon Mahon's court with a $500 000 bond.

Plano Man Faces Move Over Lion Charlie
Charlie needs a home fast as Plano eyes annexation that would violate city rules on keeping wild animals. Owner Billy Owens says he will move if given time, as the lion brings in $100 to $150 nightly from Dallas clubs, while Owens struggles after a career shift and mounting losses. Health officials prefer selling or giving Charlie away if possible.
