SHINE EDWARDS
CHARGES DRY AGENT.
WITH BOOTLEGG|NC.

MEDFORD, Or, Dec. GA. B.
Gates, special prohibition agent,
and chief witness for the state in
several of the bootlegging cases
heard at this term Of the circuit
court, was arrested Friday by Sher-
If Terrill, upon warrants sworn to
by James (Shine) Edwards, himself
a defendant in two bootlegging
trials, both resulting in a hung jury,
in which Gates was the star witness.
charging possession and giving away
OF liquor. The warrants were sworn
out before Justice Smith of Gold Hill
and before whom the defendant was
arraigne6 Friday. Gates was released
on his own recOgnizance and his pre-
liminary hearing set for next Satur-
day at Gold Hill. Attorney o. C..
Boggs acts as attorney for Gates.
1t is claimed that when Sheriff
Terrill showed a disinclination to
serve the warrants, after Gates had
refused to be placed under arrerst,
Thursday night at midnight, Dis
trict Attorney Rawles Moore and At
torney Boggs insisted on the arrest
being made by the sheriff in order
that the cases might come to trial
They apparently welcome such a
trial and fight to the finish.
The episode OF Edwards swearing
out a warrant for Gates arrest ap-
pears to have aroused more telling
between the vets and drys Of Med
ford than anything that has hap
pened since the raids made by the
state prohibition agents last August.
The warrant against Gates is the
outgrowth of the bootlegging trials
at which Gates was the chief wit
ness. He appeared as the chief wit
ness in the Goodwin and the two Ed
wards trials, and in each case hung
jury resulted. A wide discrepancy
existed in Gates testimony and jur-
ors in all the trials freely admitted
that the disagreements were due to
the inability to accept the testimony
of Gates.

CT YEAR YOUNG
H|KER STOPS HIRE
ON LONG TRAMP

Men may come and men may go
but somewhere In the soul of James
Abby Hill, of Berkeley, Calf, sixty
seven year old seeker Of health, Is
the eternal fire of youth and the
wanderlust call Of the dusty, open
road. Aided by travel worn crutch
carrying a small suitcase and wear
ing genial smile, the whlte-halred
patriarch of the highways slowly but
cheerfully hobbled his way to the
Plaza late yesterday afternoon and
pronounced 1t good after the all-Cay
hike from Medford. He spent the
night at a local rooming house and
left this morning for California on
trip that will take him as far south
as San Diego before making his way
east by Arizona as the preliminary
to a 1000 mile foot journey to East
port, Maine.
Under Doctors orders, Mr.. Hill,
who suffers from rheumatism, left
San Francisco from the ocean surf
near the Golden Gate July 26. He
Is insstent with his explanations
that his unique hike Is for health
only, asserting that he pays his way
independently and is neither ped
ding or aims begging. Since the
start Of his trip he has visited the
governors and state executives of
Nevada, Oregon and Washington,
obtaining their autographs in a
name-scribbled book filled with
newspaper clippings and photo
graphs. Among the signatures list
ell are Governors Louis f. Hart,
Wash, f. d. Boyle, New, Ben W. o.
colt, Or, and w. d. Stephens, Calf.
The book contains signatures Of
prominent men, college presidents,
and city officials in various parts of
the northwest.
True to his creed Of youth, the
aged hiker has hobby. He has let
ters from the mayors Of various
cities to the executives of eastern
cities bearing like name. when |
get through" smiled Mr.. Hill, East
will meet West, and, l hope, never
the twain shall part" He bears
letter from two year old Leeds Sulli-
van to the latter's uncle, Kenneth
c. BeatOn, known nationally to
newpaper readers as X. C. B.
After leaving Arizona. Mr.. Hill
will make his way up and down the
central states, visit his old home at
Gallon, O., and winter a year from
now in Florida. In the summer he
will hike to Maine, his objective. He
estimates that the trip will take two
years. Whether or not he will re-
turn to California by train is as yet
problematical, he said.
