House gives tentative OK to sell liquor on Sunday
TOPEKA—A bill allowing Sunday sales of包装 liquor in any city or county where voters approved was given tentative approval yesterday in the House.
The measure also rewrites Kansas liquor laws to make them apply uniformly in all cities and counties.
Huff's amendment passed, 71-47 and the House later advanced the bill on a voice vote. A final vote that could send the measure to the Senate is expected today.
The Senate's version of the bill was a minor measure unrelated to liquor sales.
The bill is a response to a recent Wyandotte County District Court ruling, which held that because the state's overall liquor laws do not apply uniformly across the state, local governments could exempt themselves from individual rules.
The judge's decision upheld the decision of Wyandotte County voters to approve Sunday sales of packaged liquor.
FBI investigation prompts WaKeeney sheriff to resign
WaKEENEY — Trego County Sheriff Curt Bender has resigned after it was made public that the Kansas Bureau of Investigation was investigating him.
The nature of the KB's investigation has not been disclosed. Authorities searched the sheriff's home March 25 but are not saying what they found.
Bender's attorney, Paul Ollor, said his client submitted a two-paragraph resignation letter to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and Trego County Clerk Kathleen Conness on Wednesday morning. The resignation was effective at noon the same day.
Oller would not explain what the KBI was investigating, but acknowledged the inquiry prompted Bender to resign.
County Attorney Dave Harding said Conness would hold the title of sheriff until a replacement for Bender was found, but duties of the office would be handled by Undersheriff Chad Mann.
Police identify two men shot to death in Wichita
WICHITA — Police said a man chased down his girlfriend's former husband, shot and killed him in a parking lot, then took his own life before officers could stop him.
The men who died Wednesday were identified by police yesterday as Scott A. Smith, 34, the former husband, and his assailant, Eric S. Leckenby, 29.
Police said Smith was dropping off his children at his ex-wife's home about 7 a.m. Wednesday when the boyfriend confronted him with a gun.
Police said the boyfriend fired at and chased the ex-husband across the street, through a sloping ditch and muddy stream, and into a church parking lot.
One man chased the other around a strip mall and confronted him again on the sidewalk in front of an electronics store.
Both Smith and Leckenby were pronounced dead at a hospital.

Two Marquette fans die while driving to Elite Eight
MILWAUKEE — Lori Rosenblum and Amanda Schepers were so crazy about Marquette University sports that they vowed to follow the Golden Eagles to Minneapolis for the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament.
The women, though, never saw their team make it to the Final Four. They were killed in a traffic accident in western Wisconsin on their way to Saturday's game.
Rosenblum, 24, of Arlington Heights, Ill., was driving west on Interstate 94 in St. Croix County around 10 p.m. March 28 when her vehicle crossed into oncoming lanes and was struck by two other vehicles, according to the Wisconsin State Patrol.
Rosenblum and Schepers, 24, of Ladue, Mo., were pronounced dead at the accident scene. Also killed was a driver of another vehicle, Anthony Burtzel, 22, of Lakeville, Minn.
