A man in his early 20s has been helping the police in their inquiries into a shooting incident at Slaidburn on Tueseday. -

Court sits for eleven


hours Bowland magistrates sa t


at Clitheroe on Monday for a record 11 hours, with only one adjournment of 45 minutes for lunch. From 2 p.m. until the court


finished at 9-30 p.m.. the mag­ istrates’ only refreshment was a glass, of water. Five magistrates were on the


bench, amo n g them two women. The Chairman, Coun. Ronald Williamson, of Sagar Fold, Higher Hodder, said on Tuesday: “We were certainly very weary at the end of the day. "We had to concentrate all

to a doctor in Slaidburn and then to Blackburn Royal Infirmary.


; A bullet was removed from


her leg, and her condition was later stated to bo "fair.’’


• Miss Carr had gone out


blackberrying at milking time. When she had not returned at dusk, her brothers and her father, Mr. Richard Carr went out to look for her.


UPSET When Tom found her she


was on her hands and knees, and covered in blood. She was very upset, but managed to tell him that she had been shot by a man about 100 yards away. She shouted to him that he


had shot her, but he ran' off to a van. June did all the cooking for


the family. A friend in the vil­ lage described her as a “ shy nervous girl,” who was very good at painting and needle­ work.

Boys, 14, raided


houses A total of £89 in cash,


together with items valued at much more, was stolen by two 14-year-old boys in raids on private houses, Clitheroe Juvenile Panel heard on


Wednesday. Insp. J. Withnell told the


panel that only about 30s. had been recovered. The boys were jointly


accused of breaking into "Riversdale,” Wadding ton Road, and stealing property, including a wrist watch, coins, a stamp collection and cash, worth £103 0s. 6d. .


They were also accused of


breaking into a house in Pimlico Road and stealing a watch, a fountain pen, and cash totalling £78 in value.


: They asked, for a further five cases . in which; they -.jointly


broke into houses and,;stole property to . be taken' into cori-: sideration. One of the boys asked for another' two cases to be considered.


Probation


the boys, who lived in a viUage near Clitheroe, was placed on two year’s probation last year. The other boy, from Clitheroe, had no previous convictions.


Insp. Whetton said one of The Clitheroe boy was given a


conditional discharge for two years. The other boy was remanded in custody for three weeks for medical reports.


Mr. W. D. Greenwood, who


represented the village boy, said he had been in no trouble until last year when he frac­ tured his skull in an accident.


At different times he had also


fractured his collar bone, elbow wrist and several other bones.


Report “This would suggest that he


is accident-prone and has brittle bones, but how these injuries have affected him, no- one can say. Until last year, however, he had been in no trouble at all.


“He has recently been attend­


ing a psychiatrist, and in a report I received yesterday, the psychiatrist says he has at last got through to the boy.


“The boy is emotionally-


upset without doubt, and tests may suggest some degree of subnormality.” Mr. A. T. Dugdale, chair­


man, told the father of the Clitheroe boy that he con­ sidered 2s. Gd. a week pocket money, was rather too little in these modern times. “We would suggest that if he


was given 10s. a week, he would have no need to' go out and steal.”


‘Life savers’ presented Two heart “ pacemakers,”


each costing £90 and capable of saving countless lives, were presented to ithc Black­ burn group o f hospitals-by the Clitheroe BP Guild on


Tuesday. Dr. B. MacFadyen, consultant


heart specialist, who. received the pacemakers from - the chair­

“Some of you arc probably

Talks on the provision of a spur road from Pimlico to the Clitheroe-Whalley by-pass have now reached an


advanced stage after months of negotiations. Coun. J. A. Barnes, chairman


of Clitheroe’s highways com­ mittee, revealed this week that the road, if built, would cost in the region of £250,000. It would take away from the


centre of Clitheroe almost all the heavy lorry traffic to and from Ribblesdale Cement. Tar­ mac and ICI. Even with the new outer and


inner by-passes, this traffic, which amounts ito thouands of heavy lorries every week, would still have to use the town centre. But a spur road linking the


bypass to the ndustrial area would be beneficial to towns­ people and the industrialists The road is expected to cut.

COUPLE RESCUED FROM THEIR BLAZING HOME


A crippled man fought to raise the alarm when fire


trapped his 81-year-old . mother in her wheelchair at their home' in Whalley Road, Clitheroe, on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Arnold King, 47. has____


been unable to walk unaided, or to use his arms since child­ hood. But somehow, when fire


broke out in the iivingroom, he managed to struggle to the lront door of the terraced cot­ tage and shout.for help.


The only person in sight was


18-year-old Mr. Jim Foster, of Woodficld View, Whalley.


Powerless He rushed into the house and


saw Mi's. Gertrude King sitting in her wheelchair amid smoke


and flames, powerless to help herself. But for his prompt action, a fire brigade spokesman said,


Mrs. King would have died in -the flames. He got her and her son into


the backyard before running to a shop across the road and telephoning for the fire brigade and ambulacne. Mr. Foster went back into


the house to salvage what furni­ ture he could before the smoke


and flames became too much for him.

‘I went into the house, there


was a lot of black smoke, and the television set was blazing.


“I saw an old woman in

Once she was outside, I ran


across the road to a shop and telephoned for the fire brigade and ambulance.”


apparently none the worse for their terrifying ordeal, were taken to friends in Peel Street. Mr. King said: “We had been
