NEW CASTLE, Pa. (AP) — Firefighters in Pennsylva- nia have managed to save 200 pounds of Polish sausage from what they’re calling the best- smelling fire they’ve doused in years. e New Castle News reports that firefighters responded about 11:30 a.m. Monday when a 20-by-20-foot smoke- house caught fire in the yard of Cash Koszela (koh-ZEL’-uh). He’s a retired meat cutter who’s been smoking his own sausage for about 30 years. Firefighters say some grease caught fire when the smoke- house got too hot — about 300 degrees. Koszela says it will cost about $3,000 to replace the smoke- house. It’s actually a tin-lined walk-in cooler fed by smoke piped in from a fire pit. Assistant Fire Chief David Jo- seph says, “is is definitely the best-smelling fire we’ve seen in a long time.” ___ Information from: New Castle News, http://www.ncnewson- line.com Copyright 2012 e Associated Press.

SOTHEBY’S FINDS HIDDEN SIGNATURE ON BASQUIAT WORK LONDON (AP) — Sotheby’s says it has discovered that grafitti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat secretly signed one of his paintings in invisible ink.
The auction house is selling “Or-ange Sports Figure,” estimated to be worth between 3 million pounds and 4 million pounds ($4.7 million and $6.3 million).
Basquiat, who became a New York art star, signed relatively few of his canvases. But Sotheby’s said ultra-violet light revealed the artist’s name and the date 1982 beneath the layers of paint.
Cheyenne Westphal, head of con-temporary art at Sotheby’s Europe, said Tuesday that “nobody else prob-ably ever knew about this invisible
inscription” — and there could be more on other canvasses.
Basquiat died of a drug overdose in 1988, at age 27. The painting is for sale in London Wednesday.

FUGITIVE RUNS OUT OF GAS, CALLS SHERIFF FOR HELP
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A 23-year-old college student from New Mexico is scheduled to go to trial for allegedly stealing a small pumpkin worth two dollars.
KOAT-TV (http://bit.ly/wXg7PI ) in Albuquerque, N.M., reports that Lauren Medina will go before a jury and Moriarity Magistrate Judge Steve Jones on Tuesday. She is ac-cused of taking the pumpkin in Oc-tober 2011 from McCall’s Pumpkin
Patch in Moriarty.
Her sister, Annette Atencio, says Me-dina spent $75 on food that day but forgot to pay for the pumpkin she picked up as she was leaving. Atencio says her sister offered to pay but was refused and then handcuffed.
Atencio says she’s in disbelief that the theft charge against her sister was not dropped.
She says her sister could have plead-ed guilty and be given probation, but refused.

EVANSTON, Wyo. (AP) — A 59-year-old fugitive is back behind bars after he ran out of gas in Wyo-ming and called the local sheriff’s of-fice for roadside assistance.

gia for violating parole on a murder and escape conviction.
Vincent called the Uinta (YOO’-ihn-tah) County Sheriff’s Office sent state troopers to help him out. When they learned that Vincent had an outstanding felony warrant from Atlanta, he was taken into custody.
Vincent is now being held for Geor-gia authorities pending extradition.
