(Ted) Kase III has filed for election to the position he now holds as District Judge of the Seventh Judicial District, composed of Catron, Sierra, Socorro and Torrance Counties. He is unopposed in the Democratic Primary. Judge Kase was appointed to the bench in July 1971 by Governor Bruce King to succeed the late Honorable Garnett R. Burks.

AT 4:45 P.M. TUESDAY city policeman Ted Murawski Jr. and Charles Rogers received a call concerning a bomb threat by phone at the Tribe of K. At the time the two were responding to a similar threat at the high school. Store owner Mrs. Rees reported that a high voice, possibly that of a juvenile girl, had advised her a bomb had been set for 10 p.m. City police searched the store, roof and area but found no evidence of a bomb as did the State Police and Sheriff out at the high school. Both were crank calls.
