Moonshiners* Cases
Of the four men captured last
week by Sheriff Orr charged with
moonshine operations. Wright Coop­
er was found to be a minor and was
turned over to the juvenile court.
The trial of Mills and Fox occurred
Monday afternoon before Justice
Coad |in Dallas. According to the
evidence ten or twelve shots were
exchanged between the sheriff and
thejalleged moonshiners and Mills
was |in an Overland fat the begin
ning of the trail which led to the
place |where the still was discover­
ed. When the officers starched the
meiCno weapons could be found. It
was known that several men escap­
ed. Mills was found not guilty
after being instructed by,the jus­
tice that he must .be foundjoperat-
ing the still before he could be
proven guilty. The case of Fox
was heard by a different jury Tues­
day. He was found guilty and was
sentenced to pay a fine of $250 and
a sentence of 60 days in jail.
Immediately after the acquittal
of Mills, Sheriff Orr had him re-ar­
rested charged with assault with a
dangerous weapon. Later the jus­
tice decided there was not sufficient
evidence to hold him to the circuit
court and leleased him. Brown
was also acquitted by a jury.
Some of the citizens of Indepen­
dence did not like the idea of moon­
shine operations being conducted so
close to their doors, so they hired
Attorney B. F. Swope as special
prosecutor to assist in the trial of
the four moonshiners arretted last
week. The cases were to have
been brought before Justice Baker
but a change of venue was taken to
Dallas. It was alleged that Baker
had remarked that if the men were
found guilty he would give them
the limit of the law.
Young M an B u rie d H ere
The body of George Everett
Boothby, a native of the Monnrouth
section, was brought here for
burial Thursday. He was a young
man, 21 years of ag», and met hia
death in the A. F. Coats Lumber
company mill in Tillamook Monday
when he caught hiB arm in the gear
of the machinery and has hia side
crushed. He was a son of R. T. and
Rhoda Boothby and was born on
what is now Monmouth orchards,
near Elkins in the year 1900. For
many years the family home was in
Carlton, Yamhill county. Brief
services were held in the Christian
church with burial in the K. P.
cemetery, south of the city.
