,RR. GEO. P. SAMPSON, PIONEER
WINSLOW DOCTOR. IS INJURED
BY "HIT-AND-RUN" MOTORIST

near the middle of the block,
crossing from the south side of the
street. 1t is figured that the car,
making a wide turn from William
son onto Fourth street, and prob
ably running without lights at that
time of day, struck Dr. Sampson.
This would account for the bruises
on the left side of the body.
Candelaria, who had phoned Dr.
Sampson at the latter'S office about
600 p. M, requesting the doctor
to call at the house on Fourth
street, went to his door about $50
to see if Dr.. Sampson might be
near He states that he could see
the huddled form of man in the
street near the curb, and on investi-
cation found that it was Dr. Samp-
son, who at that time was bare
ly conscious.
A passing car was hailed, and
Dr.. Sampson was taken to his
home. Up until late hour Tues
day night the aged Winslow ply
sician was unable to give any ac-
count Of the accident other than the
probable time of the happening and
his movements after leaving his Of
fee up until a few moments be-
fore the accident. Physicians who
attended him stated that he was
still in highly nervous state, and
that reaction from the shock of
the accident had not yet set in.
After sleeping few hours Tues
day, it was reported that the doc
tor had awakened in a slightly de-
lirious state and stated mis- inten-
tiOn Of going to his office, where,
he said, he must get to work.
He was placed on Number 2
Wednesday morning for the hospi-
tai at albuquerque, where he will
be attended by an eminent sur
geoTE who is distant relative and
boyhood companion of Dr. Samp-
son.
DR.. Sampson has practiced in
Winslow for many years, and his
strict adherence to the highest
ethical standards Of his self-sacri-
ficing profession has. made him one
of the best loved of Winslow. citi-
zens. The peculiarly inhumane
phases of the unfortunate occur

Struck down early Monday even
ing by hit-and-run motorist, Dr.
Geo. p. Sampson, pioneer resident
and physician of Winslow, was
badly injured, and while his con-
dition was such as to permit his
being removed to a hospital at Al
buquerque Wednesday morning, his
dvanced age makes his condition
uncertain, in the opinion of at
tending physicians and his friends.
The full extent of DR.. Sampson S
injuries is not known. His entire
left side is bruised, and he sustain
ed several cuts. Although pain in
the injured member made thorough
examination impossible, it is con-
sidered probable that the left leg
is splintered at some point below
the knee, possibly in the ankle. At
his home Tuesday evening DR..
Sampson. complained continually of
extreme pain in the injured leg,
but it was considered the better
course to put off complete exami-
nation until the doctors arrival at
the New Mexico hospital There is
also a possibility of internal in
juries.
Local police have not as yet
found any clue on which to base
an arrest or investigation in con-
nection with the case. What was
originally probably nothing more
than an accident has taken on a
criminal onificanca dino tO tho
motorists, failure to stop and rend-
er assistance. Owing to the time
and location of the accident it is
believed that the hit-and-run driv-
er is a local resident, and it is pos
sible that some eyewitness who has
not yet come forward may be able
to assist the officers in their search.
According to Dr. Sampson and
,nbers of his family, the acci-
dent must have happened be-
tween 600 and $50 p. m. DR..
Sampson remembers receiving a
call from Gregorio Candelaria, who
resided at 210 West Fourth street,
and told friends after the accident
that he walked down Second street
to Apache avenue then north to
Fourth street, intending to walk
west on Fourth so as to be sure
and locate the address to which he
was called.
In reconstructing the occurance
from what meager details are avail
able, it seems that the doctor start

FLAGSTAFF PLANS
BIG PROGRAM OF
WINTER SPORTS

Work is now in progress on the
Northern Arizona Winter Sports
at FLAGSTAFF, Arizona, where a half
mile toboggan is being built as
we'll as skiing platform and prepa-
rations for skating on the lake in
the city park. The tObOggan is be-
ing constructed on Observatory
Hill within the city limits and is
to be one of the many thrills and
perpetual rides. Specially built
sleds have been purchased from an
eastern firm and they are expected
to arrive in Flagstaff within the
next two weeks.
The winter sports committee Of
which H J. Pilkington of the local
Buick sales organization is chair
man, is also making plans for old
fashioned barn dances, sleighing
parties, hayrack parties, snow
shOeing trips, etc, to be offered
during the winter season. A very
unique event in a "snow ball" will
also be part of the winters pro-
gram to be in the Hotel Monte
Vista which will be open January
1st.
It is expected that the toboggan
will be finished within the next
two weeks in order that it may
be in readiness to receive the first
heavy snowfall of the season. The
two tracks will be sided with
heavy timbers the bed to be filled
with sawdust in order to make it
solid and cause the snow to pack

will enter a new era in the eyes of
the outside world, for with daily

will mean that henceforth Winslow
will be on the Wire of the Associat-

permit, it will go out with the date
line of Winslow, and local people
know only too well that Winslow
has been sadly neglected in the
years gone by in this respect.
Since coming to Winslow a year
ago the publishers have seGsed the
opportunity of establishing a daily
paper in this field, and although
there are some doubters and those
who have counselled that 1T can't
be DONE" the publishers are TAX
ing the step in the new daily field
fully aware of conditions as they
exist in WinsloW and the rest Of
Northern Arizona and with a feel
ing of security that ''it can be

as over-enthusiastic and taking a

thought. There have been spent
many days and nights in planning

be taken Newspapers are not
built in d day. nor in d year, and
by gradual steps the publishers be-
lieye they can give northern Ari-
zOna daily newspaper of which
the public will have cause to feel
proud.
In order that modern facilities
might be had for the publication OF
a daily newspaper the publishers
have spent thousands of dollars. A
new three-stCry building that
would do credit to any small city
has been built designed especially
for a newspaper plant. Into this
building has gone thousands of dol
lars of costly printing machinery,
including a new Duplex press, two
new Linotype machines and count

to produce a successful newspaper.

GREAT EXPANSION
NOTED IN WINSLOW
BUSINESS HOUSES

d = ! ;
Comparative sizes considered,
there is probably no city in Ari-
IONA, or in the entire southwest
that can boast a finer program of
building or expansion than Wins
lows in the past few weeks. New
buildings, instead of leaving old
buildings vacant, have paved the
way for expansion in many lines,
proving the general prosperity of
Winslow business men, and that
business in all lines here is on the
ascendant.
The vacating of the old Winslow
Mail building for the Nails new
home Immediately brought inquir-
les from many business men, local
and foreign, who wished a new To-
cation for their business, but the
lease was awarded last week to c..

Mr.. Baldwin has already moved
into his new home, where increas-
ed space and better location seem
to offer a good outlook for the fu-
ture.

LOCAL CHEVROLET
DEALERS LEADING
in SALES PERCENT

Winslow lacks several million of
reaching the population of New
York, London and other of the
worlds larger gatherings of pop
ulation, but it still gets an oppor
tunity to break into print now and
again, and even to come close to
existing records when percentages
per capita are used rather than
bulk.
An instance Of where the Meteor
City has attracted some attention
in one branch of the automobile
world is shown in a letter receiv-
ed this week by the Old Trails
Garage, local Chevrolet agency,
whose statesmen have made the
sales that drew the attention.
The Chevrolet people, realizing
the benefits of rivalry as applied
to salesmanship, have divided the
country into sections, and each
section into districts, with each of
the districts divided accordingly
into smaller districts. In the
smaller districts, sales of cars are
figured against the total popula-
ton, and a salesman's or dealers
average arrived at in that way.
In like manner, the larger dis
tricts compare one with the other,
and the larger sections Of the
country are also in a larger race
for sales supremacy.
A sales analysis for the month
Of October, which was sent to the
Old Trails Garage this week from
Chevrolet's California headquar
ters, shows that the local dealer
secured a high rating in percent
age figures, and first place among
dealers in the zone for the first
ten months of the year. This hon
or, according to Frank Christensen
and Charlie Hitchcock, custOdians
OF the Old Trails, will be main
tanned until the final figures are
made at the years end.
