Border Patrol tracker Jack Kearney led the capture after following a fresh trail to Horton’s brush hideout. Horton, jailed, expressed mixed remorse and a wish to reform, saying he hoped to find a job and become a more mature person.

Alaska pipeline oil rate ruling leaves most firms allowed
The Supreme Court by a 4 to 3 vote allowed eight pipeline owners to continue charging the higher crude transport rates pending review. Mobil Exxon and British Petroleum were required to insure rates, with rebates possible if later found excessive. Phillips was not included and the court did not explain why. The case centers on how pipeline profits for Alaska are shared, not on consumer prices.
