Ormiston's S Father
Takes Up Guage
In Sons Behalf

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9 (AP)
w. C. Ormiston, father of Ken
meth G. Ormiston, declared here
tonight he had taken up the guage
of battle in behalf of his son.
1--WE stayed out of this case for
six months, but now I'm in it," he
asserted.
I'm going to put up battle. l
don't want them planting any more
evidence on Kenneth"
The elder Ormiston thinks that
his son should oppose being re-
turned to California.
"If | were in his place, I'd fight
extradition. He can't come back
and turn states evidence. That
would be the part of a cad, and l
don't think Kenneth is cad.'

REPORT SAYS
DR.. SAMPSON
MAY RECOVER

Although the condition of DR..
G. P. Sampson, Winslow physician
who last week was struck by "a
"hit-and-run" driver and serious
ly injured, is still very critical,
owing to his advanced age, reports
from Albuquerque state that he
still has a chance for recovery.
DR.. Sampson has had periods of
delirium, due to a blood clot which
formed adjacent to his brain af-
ter the accident, and his weakness
from the shock has kept Albuquer
que physicians from operating, as
they fear the additional shock of
the operation might prove fatal.
This operation, which may later
become imperative, has been put
off also on account of a possibil
ity that the clot may dissolve,
making the operation unnecessary.
While it was first believed that
DR.. Sampson was only bruised and
stunned, an X-Ray made in Albu
querque showed his leg to be frac-
tured, and the symptoms of con-
cussion were traced to the clot on
his brain.
Since DR.. Sampson is at an age
when most professional men have.
retired, and since the duties of his,
calling have kept him at high
state of nervous tension constant
ly, his condition was not such that
he could easily and quickly recoy-
er from the effects of a serious
shock. EIis physicians say that he
now has only a fighting chance"
for recovery.

Only the usual routine business
presented itself, except for the
closed-door conference and the
presentation of an electrical ordi-
nance that was side-tracked until
another meeting.
The electrical ordinance was in
for much like the building ordi-
nance, and is for the same pur-
pose, calling for inspection of cleo
trical installations, whether in
new structures or planned as addi-
tions to old buildings. The build
ing inspector would also be cleo
trical- inspector, and fees based on
the magnitude of the installation
would be charged under the pro-
posed ordinance.
The report of fire chief George
Jackson was more nearly like
normal Winslow report, showing
the month Of November free from
fires. The October report, read a
month ago, was a record breaker.
hThe vacancy left BY the iresigna7
ton of the former city auditor was
filled by the council, who selected
G. G. Franklin to check the city's
office figures each month. Frank
Inns application was selected from
several others submitted.
|, DR.. G. l.. Hathaway was chosen
to act for DR.. G. P Sampson as
head of the board Of health during

sons November report was read,
however, and showed that seven
cases of Scarlet Fever, and one
each, of diphtheria and measles
had been reported in WinsIow, had
been qUarantined, and after the
cases had recovered, the homes
had been fUmigated.
Recurrence of speed and traffic
law violations since the rulingoff
of motorcycle officer George L.
Haynes caused the council to
move again to hire a speedcop.
The motion calls for wider duties
to go on the traffic cops shoulders
for henceforth he must be re-
sponsible for violations of any
part of the city's code having to
do with the streets or alleys.
Illegal disposal of trash or gar
bage, illegal blocking of thorough
fares, or any other offenses con-
nected with the highways and by
ways will be i'll the province of the
motor cop, and it will be up to
him to hale the offenders within
striking distance of the police
magistrate.
Other matters handled included
the raising of city engineer Stan
>1ey Watkins salary to $250.00
monthly, and discussion on rigid
enforcement of the sidewalk ordi-
nance.
Supporters of the ordinance stat
ed that for fire prevention alone,
the ordinance was necessary It
was said that four fires in the past
six months have been traced to de-
fective wiring The ordinance, it
is said, will have some bearing on
insurance pates of buildings built

Among other provisions of the
ordinance is that allowing electri-
cal construction to be made by any
who desire, under city supervision.
Competition will not be sti1ed, for
the ordinance only provides that
any firm, individual or corporation
can install electrical wiring after
announcing their intention and fill
ing bond to comply with the or
dinance. Specifications Of the pro-
posed work must be filed, as in
case of building.
The fees charged are very nom
inal, and in most cases will not
cover the cost Of such inspection,

WinsloW was eliminated long

Newton, Kansas, the city which

still a mystery to this section of
the country. Since their schedule
