Rains pleaded to the murder of Mt. Vernon bed and breakfast owner Robert Whiteside in his business in 2006. Rains also escaped from the Franklin County Jail in March of last year before surrendering to county lawmen days later.

In the 1950’s a blizzard isolated Sulphur Springs. Highways closed, electricity went out, telephones and even police radios went out but two local radio amateurs or hams with emergency equipment got a message out. Lone Star Gas got the word and kept gas pressure above the critical level as the temperature plummeted below zero that evening. Saturday and Sunday local amateurs with emergency equipment had a 24-hour Field Day at the Airport to test their ability to communicate during the next crisis.

The annual Independence Day Concert on the Square was shortened due to threatening weather Saturday night. After the entry of veterans, presentation of the colors, pledge of allegiance and the national anthem, the Northeast Texas Symphony Orchestra was able to do a John Williams Olympic Fanfare, some Gershwin Porgy and Bess Selections and a tribute to Richard Rogers as dark clouds gathered over the Square. Feeling they had about 15 minutes before rains came, the symphony changed the program to get in guest conductor Riley Bridges leading the orchestra through Sousa’s Semper Fidelis March. The after Irving Berlin’s God Bless America, the fireworks began.
