CHARLES CROWLEY
RECOVERING FROM
BAD KNIFE WOUND

Charles Crowley, Santa Fe night
special officer at the Winslow
yards, who was seriously injured
Monday night when stabbed in the
abdomen by Alberto Jiminez, is re-
ported out of danger at this time,
but is still confined to the hospital
at Gallup.
Mr.. Crowley received his injury
Monday night while attempting to
take two Mexicans, Juan Matus and
Jiminez, both residents of Cooper
town, off a freight leaving the
yards going west. The two were
en- route, it afterward developed, to
a big wedding dance in Coopertown.
Crowley succeeded in getting Ma
tus off and then reahced for Jimi-
nez. In the tussle with Jiminez,
Crowley was struck in the abdomen
and Jiminez escaped. Not realizing
that he had been more than hit,
Crowley collared Matus and started
to walk away with him, when he
noticed that blood was coming
through his shirt.
At the Santa F'e hospital it was
discovered that his wound was
serious, and after being given an
emergency treatment, was taken to
Gallup, accompanied by DR.. Brown
and Walter Nelson On the Operat
ing table at Gallup it developed
that one wall of his stomach had
been pierced by the knife, and for
several hours chances for his re-
covery were thought doubtful.
Marshall Harp, with two other
officers, started in pursuit of Jimi-
nez as soon as the case was re-
ported, and he was found at the
wedding, where he was taken into
custody and started on his way to
the county Jail at Holbrook, where
he is being held for trial.
A search of the Jiminez residence
the following morning was made
and officers seized ten-gallon
still and two gallons Of moonshine
found on the premises.

COUNCIL PASSES
NEW ORDINANCE
ON NUISANCES

An ordinance declaring public
nuisances and providing for the
abatement of them was passed by
the city council at its regular meet
ing Tuesday evening, the nuisances
to include things causing condi-
tions injurious to public health
and things of noisy or disturbing
nature that might cause annoyance
to residents Of the town.
The ordinance provides for the
removal of all live stock within the
city limits except where kept under
certain sanitary conditions defined
by the ordinance. 1t will be neces-
safy under the new ordinance to do
away with all cesspools and vaults
used for, garbage or other trash
which may develop into breeding
places for disease germs and flies.
This part of the measure was
adopted especially to help in estab-
fishing more sanitary conditions in
the east part of town. No trash
should be burned within the city
limits without being in an inciner-
ator, is another provision of the
ordinance.
The ordinance also states that no
merry-go-round or carnival shall
be allowed to operate within the
city limits north of First street.
According to report made at the
meeting by Pete Mccoy, sanitary
inspector, much trash and garbage
is being dumped along the highways
and in vacant lots, and the council
is considering methods to stop this
practice, as lall such refuse should
be dumped on the ground set aside
by the city for this purpose.
