THE HERALD-RECORDER Vol. XLVII. No. 50 ARROYO GRANDE, SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY, FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1935 Recorder: Vol. XXX.

No. 50 JUDGE NORTON SUFFERS STROKE OF PARALYSIS: WHILE HEARING DAMAGE SUIT OF MILLER VS. THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES, While sitting on the bench at the afternoon session of the superior court Tuesday, Judge T. A. Norton suffered a stroke of paralysis on the left side that left him unconscious until well into the next day.

Court attendants noticed the Judge slump into his chair and went to his assistance. An ambulance was called and he was at once rushed to the hospital, where emergency treatment was given. When he came out of his swoon he partially rallied from the attack and was able to talk. Physicans encouraged the belief that he will recover, although his condition is serious. Judge Norton has served as superior Judge for more than twentyfive years and is noted throughout the state for his fair and impartial decisions.

Wednesday, County Clerk Gwen Marshall notified the state Judicial council of the catastrophe and requested the temporary appointment of a judge to handle the law and motion calendar. Hearing of the $110,000 damage suit of Mary Ashe Miller of Inyo county against the city of Los Angeles for alleged damages from water diversion by the Los Angeles aqueduct, was halted by the sudden attack of illness. The test case, which is peing watched by the entire state, and which has been under way for nearly a month, was expected to have been completed Friday. Pending outcome of Judge Norton's Illness, it has been temporarily continued until next Tuesday. San Luis Obispo county's superfor court, presided over by Judge Norton, was selected for the trial by both Mrs.

Miller and the Los Angeles defendants because of Judge Norton's reputation for fair and impartial decisions. He was to have journeyed to Inyo county next week to review the lands alleged to have been rendered useless after the diversion of subterranean waters by the ueduct. An attempt to carry on San Obispo court matters in conjunction with the technical and involved water trial, was believed to have created too much work for the judge and contributed to the stroke. All court cases are being held in abeyance pending outcome of his condition. Three criminal cases, which were to have come before Judge T.

A. Norton in superior court Wednesday have been continued indefinitely due to the illness of the judge. Tuesday Judge Norton appointed Attorney H. E. McCombie as counsel for G.

H. Sutton of Nipomo, held to answer to superior court for drunk driving, and arraignment was to have been heard Wednesday. Arraignment was also set for James Priest, Morro Bay boy charged with attempted burglary. At- PLUMBING Cost More Than Plumbing!

Not proud of all Republicans or the things they stand for- but still, I'm a Republican. But when I see just cause to give credit to the Democrats, far be it from me to withhold from them the commendation due them. A great man whom this nation loves to -that great discoverer of our continent, topher Columbus, we now find was a Democrat.

The fact was recently reported by radio and that is surely a big boost for our friends the Democrats. If we had thought about it we all might have known Columbus was a Democrat, for, if you remember, when he started out he didn't know where he was going; when he got there he didn't know where he was, and he did it on borrowed capital. Proof positive, eh, what? Yes, it's another feather th the cap of the Democrats! -The Cambrian torney Miles. A. Fitzgerald was appointed his counsel Tuesday.

Similar action was taken in the case of the pink bean robbery at Nipomo, with: Attorney W.

E. L. Paulding, pioneer sician of this city, aged 85 years and 2 months, passed away at his home on Crown Hill, at 11 o'clock Saturday morning, Feb. 23, of pneumonia which developed from an attack of flu he suffered Wednesday of last week. His death came as a sad shock to his many friends as few knew that he was ill as he had been about his work on his farm in the eastern section of the city, on Tuesday.

Dr. Paulding was the first resident physician of this city, having come here in 1883-52 years ago, to practise his profession and during his many years of residence here endeared himself to many in all walks of life as he was a kind hearted friend and neighbor and during his years of practise ministered to many families of the valley, always ready to answer a call even though he knew in many cases there would be no fee forthcoming for his services, but being a true follower of his Lord and Master he lived his religion daily and as Rev. L. C. Routzahn, who conducted the funeral services and who had known Dr.

Paulding for more than 40 years, said during the sermon that Dr. Paulding was a Christian gentleman of the old school and one who had walked uprightly before his God. Dr. Paulding was a member of the Seventh Day Adventist church for many years and was one of its staunchest supporters. Edwin Lyleton Paulding was born December 16, 1849 in Damascus, Syria.

His father was a medical missionary. When he came to realize his family needed an American education, his father returned to the United States. This was when Edwin was six years of age. When Edwin grew to manhood he wished to follow in his father's footsteps and studied medicine in the same University, working his way through medical school in Cincinnati, Ohio, and served a year as interne in the Good Samaritan hospital in that city. In 1883 he came to California and at the invitation of a classmate, went to visit him at Los Alamos.

In passing through Arroyo Grande he was greatly attracted by it and came back to settle here. He served as physician for nearly forty years and then retired to his little farm where he spent many happy, busy hours. Brother of Mrs. D. A.

After Timothy Olivas pleaded guilty to having struck a blow that is alleged to have contributed to his death, Lorraine Gower, adopted daughter of the late Floyd Gower, now confesses to District Attorney Van Wormer that she struck the blow and that Olivas was not in the room at the time.

Probation Officer John O'Connor, while investigating Olivas' petition for probation, ran into the new angle of the case and took the girl to Van Wormer, where she made a full confession that positively exonerates Olivas, if the story is true. The girl, adopted by the Gowers in Visalia, in 1920, while an infant, is of French and Spanish extraction. She claims Gower was unkind to her and that she hated him. She stated in effect to O'Connor and afterwards confirmed the statement to Van Wormer -as follows: "Saturday night we had a quarrel- he grabbed me by the arm and shook me- so I hit him. "He fell against the door frame and dropped unconscious.

"Tim was in the kitchen and he came and tried to bring my father to. He couldn't, so he went for the doctor." Olivas, at first, refused to admit that Lorraine had anything to do with the assault. "I still say I did he told Van Wormer. The district attorney then repeated what the girl told O'Connor. Olivas turned and looked at the girl.

"Did you say he asked. "Well," he said slowly, "I guess there's no need of two of us taking the "Lorraine is telling the truth. I didn't touch the old "I heard the scuffle and when I came out of the kitchen, Gower was unconscious on the floor. I went for the doctor and he wouldn't come. He told me to rub the old man with whiskey.

"I went to the pool room, got half a pint and went back to the cabin. I rubbed him with the whisky but he still stayed unconscious. So I took him to the hospital. "Then Lorraine and I went down town and we fixed up the story we would tell if the law came for us." Gower came to Oceano seven years ago and made a living for his family by digging clams, Of late the family has been supported by the county. The case will be reopened for further investigation before final action is taken.

Mr. and Mrs. Sam Crist returned to their home at Santa Barbara yesterday, having visited over Wednesday with Mrs. Crist's mother, Mrs. Katie Chapek.
