The boat was constructed in the Three Testify a- a in Astoria Damage buit ASTORIA Wl Three witness es testified for the plaintiff Tuesday in Ernest J. Combs' $233,373 damage suit against As toria policemen and city offic ials. Combs is asking the settle ment for a pistol shot in 1958 that has kept him in a hospital, paralyzed. Defendants in the case are the late Brewer Billie, city manager at the time; H. A. Ellsworth, then Astoria police chief and now police chief at Eugene; and John Patrick Codd, Astoria po liceman, who fired a shot to halt Combs. Combs had been stopped for a traffic violation, Codd said, nd drove away in his car with the policeman in pursuit. Codd said he fired a warning shot at the ground when Combs got out of the car. But Combs fell with a bullet In his back. Codd said on the stand Tues day that he charged Combs with reckless driving in a complaint filed in Municipal Court after the shooting. He filed no other complaint, he said. Dr. Edward W. Davis, the first witness called, testified about Combs' treatment. Davis, a Portland neurosurgery spec ialist, said Combs was perma nentally paralyzed from the waist down as a result of the wound. Mrs. Melba Combs, the plain tiff's mother, said she was lying in bed awake early the morning of July 12, 1958, when the shoot ing occurred. She said she heard her son drive in, then heard another car, then a shot. Codd wouldn't let her see her ton lying on the ground, she said, but put him in the police car and took him to an Astoria hospital. She did not find out he had been shot until physicians told her later, she testified.

A kite caught in an overhead wire can mean serious injury or death, or just be a nuisance to the entire neighborhood. So the utility offers these words of wisdom for those who want to fly their kites: Don t fly them near over head wires because many kite strings can make dangerous con ductors of electricity. Don't us light wire or met allic string on the kite. A wet string itself can make a good conductor, but a wire or metal lic string, wet or dry, can really give a jolt. Don't use a metallic kite. If this got tangled in electric equipment it could interrupt electric service in the entire neighborhood. And finally, if despite the warning, a kite does get caught in an overhead wire, don't try to get it out yourself. Call EWEB and a serviceman will remove it.
