A Baltimore soldier who was detained this week on an Army base in Oklahoma and charged with shooting five people in East Baltimore last month was cleared as a suspect by police yesterday, a day after city prosecutors dropped charges against him because of insufficient evidence. But Jerrell Hill, 18, remained jailed yesterday evening at the Comanche County Detention Center in Oklahoma, apparently because the paperwork required for his release had not been processed. A corrections officer confirmed by phone yesterday that Hill was being held at the Lawton, Okla.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Texas and Oklahoma finally have drawn a line in the sand -- literally -- in their decades-old feud over the Red River border.The two states formally agreed last week that their dividing line is the river's south bank, at the point where vegetation commences. Both legislatures endorsed the new state line. Gov. George W. Bush has signed the Texas measure into law.If Gov. Frank Keating approves the Oklahoma version, it's up to Congress to give final approval to the new boundary, aimed at ending jurisdictional confusion that long hampered law enforcement, wildlife officials and taxing authorities, among others.

No. 1 seed Michigan State isn't getting much acclaim -- and even less respect, if you listen to the Spartans -- in a Midwest Regional bracket that features two heavy underdogs and the defending NCAA tournament champion.Overshadowed by No. 13 seed Oklahoma, No. 10 Miami of Ohio and Kentucky, Spartans coach Tom Izzo struck the chord of no respect in yesterday's session with the media."Coming into the year, Mateen Cleaves was everybody's All-American," said Izzo, as he launched final preparations for tonight's 7: 55 Midwest semifinal against Oklahoma.

A FIRE chief captured the thoughts of many Americans in describing the devastation of Monday's tornadoes in Oklahoma City: "It looks like the Murrah Building, but instead of nine stories tall, it's spread out over a large area."The toll in Oklahoma and around Wichita, Kan. -- at least 43 dead and an estimated 4,500 homes and businesses leveled -- was staggering. The destruction was even more anguishing because it bit into Oklahoma's capital, still healing psychologically from the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building four years ago.The last U.S. twister so costly, in 1985, killed 90. This century's worst such storm, in 1925, took 689 lives.
