LAWRENCE
Lawrence police officer to be arraigned Tuesday
The first court appearance for Micah Stegall, the Lawrence police officer charged with battery and driving while intoxicated, has been rescheduled for 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at Douglas County Court, the district attorney's office said.
The charges stem from events that occurred Aug. 14, when bicyclist Steve Mitchell was struck by a Jeep Wrangler driven by Stegall at Eighth and Vermont streets. Mitchell was treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, and he later underwent plastic surgery on his hand.
A judge from Topeka will preside because Stegall's father is employed by Douglas County court services.

Suspect in death of girl remains in medical center
KANSAS CITY, Kan.—The suspect in a kidnapping that ended in a 10-year-old girl's death remained hospitalized Saturday, the FBI said.
"His temperature's too high," said FBI spokesman Jeff Lanza Saturday afternoon. "He's going to be staying the night again."
Keith N. Nelson, 24, has been in the University of Kansas Medical Center since Thursday, when he was captured near the Kansas River.
The girl was pulled into a pickup truck while roller skating on Tuesday evening. Pamela was abducted shortly before 6 p.m. on Tuesday, in front of her 11-year-old sister, Penny.
Nelson had a fractured knee and an injured ankle when he was arrested — the result of a fall the day before, authorities said. He underwent surgery on Friday morning, just hours before officers searching a wooded area near Grain Valley, Mo., found the nude body of Pamela Butler of Kansas City, Kan.
Lanza did not say where Nelson would be taken after his discharge from the hospital.
"I'm not sure it's hit Penny yet," said Cherier West, Pamela and Penny's mother. "In a couple of days, she'll want to play and ask 'Where's Pammy?'
"We won't say where he's going until he's there," he said. "In a case like this, there are security issues to consider."
Authorities are withholding the cause of death while the investigation continues.
Federal Reserve Chairman says economy ready for 2000
NATION
WASHINGTON—Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said Friday that the millennium computer bug should not disrupt the nation's economy unless consumers and businesses significantly change their buying patterns.
In remarks to the National Italian-American Foundation, Greenspan expressed confli-
dence that American businesses will be ready for the Year 2000 date change given the intensive preparations they have made.
"The probability of a cascading of computer failures in mission-critical systems is now negligible." Greenspan said.
Greenspan: Said consumer reactions will determine impact
Greenspan said he still is apprehensive about the potential for economic impact of hoarding or other significant changes in traditional spending patterns. Consumer reactions also will be critical to determining whether the computer change will have a major impact on
economic activity, he said.
Wildfire continues to burn in Northern California
BELLA VISTA, Calif. — Residents living near this rural Northern California town were hastily evacuated Saturday because of a fast-moving brush fire that grew from 3,000 to 15,000 acres in a single afternoon.
Fifty to 70 homes and other structures had been consumed by the blaze, which broke out about 4:15 a.m. Saturday in an area that expiienced a similar brush fire just weeks ago.
"We have nothing left in this town," said California Department of Forestry representative Rose Wykoff.
More than 500 firefighters were working the blaze, which was made more intense by warm temperatures and gusty winds exceeding 25 mph. Late Saturday, forestry officials reported that a volunteer firefighter had been killed when she was struck on a highway by a fire truck.
The cause of the fire was not known, and there was no estimate of a time for containment.
we're praying for rain," Wyckoff said.

Pro- and anti-Pinochet forces take to the street
SANTIAGO, Chile — Police using water cannons scattered scores of supporters of Gen. Augusto Pinochet on Saturday as the demonstrators protested the arrest of the former dictator exactly one year ago.
Last week, a British magistrate ruled that Pinochet could be extradited to Spain, where he faced charges of torture. The general's lawyers planned to appeal the decision.
Pinochet led a bloody coup in 1973 and toppled a Marxist president, Salvador Allende. Chile has acknowledged that 3,197 people were killed or disappeared during Pinochet's 17-year authoritarian rule.
And in Spain, 200 people celebrated Pinochet's capture with a cake in the form of a jail, while singing and dancing at the central Colon Square in Madrid.
In London, 300 people gathered at the secluded estate where Pinochet lives under police guard, demanding he be extradited.
