Mrs Elizabeth Catlett, who was
killed by a patient in the "poor”
ward of the Humbolt County hos­
pital at Winnemucca, Nevada Sun­
day. was a sister of Mrs. Fred Fisher
of Apple valley and Mrs. Henry
Meier o f Nyssa, and Mrs. Henry

Nyssa residents who went to W in­
nemucca today to attend the fun­
eral are Mr. and Mrs. A1 Meier. Mr.
and Mrs. Herbert Fisher, Fred Fish­
er. Don Fisher and Mrs. Henry
Meier.
The patient charged with murder
is reported to have clubbed to death
Mrs. Catlett and an elderly patient,
Thomas Robinson, with a heavy
pipe, which he unscrewed from
plumbing fixtures.

enraged when hospital attendants
started to remove him forcibly from
the ward's only bathroom. Callahan
said the enraged patient struck Mrs.
Catlett two blows on the head and
crushed Robinson's skull with an­
other blow as the 75-year-old man
sat in a chair.
Echeverrla was later captured In
an adjacent room.
Unless rain falls by Friday night
of this week, chances for the open­
ing of the deer season as scheduled
Saturday, September 29. are slim,
according to information received
here.
State game commissioners were to
have consulted late Wednesday to
decide what action to take in view
of the opposition expressed by for­
est service officials to allowing hunt­
ers to enter the woods.
National forest supervisors in east­
ern and southern Oregon are op­
posed to the opening of the season
because of the dry conditions in the
woods. They contend that a light
rain after a hot dry summer is not
sufficient to reduce the fire hazard.

Firemen Reduce
Damage To House
The farm residence of Mrs. W illie
Whipple, located three miles north­
west of Nyssa on Eureka avenue
was badly damaged, but was saved
by Nyssa rural firemen from total
destruction Tuesday afternoon.
The fire was first discovered by
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Rouse and he
drove to the Vest farm to reach a
telephone. Mrs. Grover Vest tele­
phoned to the fire department. The
firemen confined the blaze to one
bedroom and the kitchen. The re­
mainder of the inside of the four-
room house was damaged by heat,
smoke and water.
The contents
were also badly damaged.
Mrs. Whipple, who was recently
injured in an automobile accident,
was not at home as she is receiving
treatment in Nyssa
As a result,
the fire is believed to have been
burning about an hour before it was
discovered and when firemen ar­
rived at the scene, smoke was billow­
ing from the house.
Firemen said if neighbors who
were standing about the house had
opened a door or window the draft
would have caused the flames to
spread much faster.
Water was
turned into the building when a
door and a window were first open­
ed.
One o f Fireman Sam Phillips'
hands was badly cut when he fell
into a hole in the floor.
Firemen were called Monday a f­
ternoon to the labor camp when a
Mexican, cooking hamburger, fell
asleep, but the only loss was the
hamburger
There was no one a-
round at the labor camp to direct
firemen to the blaze, so they spent
considerable time searching for the
correct cabin. Apparently the scent
of the hamburger was not sufficient
to attract attention
Bound Over To Jury
Lawrence Blodgett o f Nyssa was
arrested by state police officers in
Ontario September 25 on a charge
of threatening to commit a felony
and was bound over to the grand
Jury this morning under *4000 bond.
He waived preliminary hearing in
Nyssa justice court and was com­
mitted to the county jail by Judge
Ruby Moore in lieu of the bond.
