AS the result of an insanity hear
ing held before Judge Law yesterday
in district court by an insanity COM
mission composed of DR.. C. S. Smith
and DR.. Joseph Piedalue, Childs M.
Phipps, an old-timer of over 80 years
residence in this community, was de-
clared mentally incompetent and re-
manded to the state institution at
Warm Springs for treatment. He
will be taken over tomorrow, prob
ably by Under Sheriff Orville Jones.
Mr.. Phipps has been a hard worker
all his life, and it is thought that
his advanced age, coupled with nu-
merous troubles which have befallen
him of late, has caused the mental

and medical treatments may ulti
mately cure.
