253. Winchester News.

 Jan. 19, 1952.   Have you ever called the Winchester police station and received no answer? Here's the reason and a suggestion by Chief  'Fozy' Holdeman. There's no radio hookup like most modern towns have, so when the officer is out in the patrol car, nobody is in the station. However, when a phone call comes in, the light bulb goes on at the top of the courthouse tower, day or night. That's the signal for the cruising policeman to get back to the station right away. Many times however, when they do get there the caller has "hung up." So Chief Holdeman's suggestion is simply this- "Hang on until you get an answer."  

Aug. 3, 1921.   Winchester Youth Meets Frightful Death.  Kenneth Ross, age 5, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Ross, of Winchester, was struck by an east bound freight train at 10 o'clock Friday morning. The accident occured at the intersection of the Big Four railway and Union street. The child was amusing himself by tapping the side of the cars and lost his balance and fell beneath the cars severing his head and left arm from his body. The child was playing with a little boy who ran to the Ross home and told about the accident to Mrs. Ross. The mother was the first to arrive on the scene and found the decapitated body. Her screams brought the father to the scene who had returned from his nights work at the city ice plant. The childs home was only two doors from the railroad track and he was playing along the right-of-way.
