had Judge Neal permitted the case
against Wickersham to have gone to
trial and had he admitted the whisky
seized in evidence, he also would have
been reversed by the supreme court
and the case sent back to this county
for a new trial.
In the Adams county case the facts

ing twelve quarts of whisky. Attorney
John T. Mulligan. who defended Wick
ersham, appeared for Gibbons and
contended that the whisky could not
be introduced in evidence as it had
been unlawfully seized. The Adams
county court admitted the evidence
and the jury convicted Gibbons. On
appeal the supreme court reversed the
superior court, holding that the con-
stiutiOnal right of every citizen
against unlawful arrest and search
had been violated by the action Of the
sheriff and that introduction Of the
whisky in evidence would be a VIOLA

defendant in criminal case providing
that he may not be compelled to be

HOSPITAL is TO BE MAINTAINED
Directors Decide to Seek Stronger
Community Support for that
Institution.

The Oroville General hospital will
not be closed February /. This decis-
ion was reached at meeting of the
board of directors of the hospital or
ganization Monday eevning.
In announcing this decision the di-
rectors said that the hospital cannot
continue TO run as community insti-
tuition without community support.
They decided to make further effort
to enlist stronger support that they
may be enabled to continue the opera
ton Of the hospital.

particulars of this affair will be pub

event of the season.
The deficit in the operation of the
hospital has been growing steadily,
and it was the unfavofaHbi,L!9; 4'tianciai
condition that caused the directors
to consider the probable necessity of
closing the institution at an early date.
They were reluctant to do this, how
ever. for several important reasons,
not the least being the advantage that
the community derives from having a
well equipped and appointed hospital
here an advantage not only in the
matter of convenience but of prestige.
The existence or non-eXistence of such
an institution at this place would in

decision to locate in or near Oroville
Besides, since it has been established
here for so long time the hospital
has become practically a necessity
that would be difficult to dispense
with at this time.
For these reasons the directors will
make another serious effort to arouse
a wider and more effective community
interest in the maintenance of the in
stitution. and if successful in their eff

VETERANS SHOW GRATITUDE,

A number of Oroville women who
prepared Christmas boxes for veterans
of the World war confined in govern
ment hospitals have received letters
from the grateful recipients. One,
such, typical of all the others was
received by Mrs. w. B. Sexson from
a young man in the hospital at Ia
coma, who is suffering from tubercu-
losis, contracted while in the service.
His letter is boyish in construction
and full of evident hunger for friendly
interest of others in his thoughts and
plans and progress towards health,
for he is sure that he is going to get
well and come out on top. There is
so much of gratitude and so much of
eagerness to turn a passing kindness
into friendly concern in these letters
that they fully repay the givers for the
trouble they incurred in preparing and
sending the Christmas packages.
