Heavy property damage was reported in all the collisions. Vehicles operated by Vern on Eugene Paul, 28, of 719 Greenwood St., Grants Pass, William Earl Kennedy, 55, of Agate Beach, and Mynor Du rant Barrington, 26, of 31 Elm St., Mcdford, were involved in an accident about 3:45 p.m. Wednesday on Highway 99 about five miles south of Rogue River. According to state police, the Paul and Kennedy, ve hicles were stopped in the northbound lane -because of an accident in front of them when the Barrington vehicle hit the Kennedy car, knock ing it into the Paul vehicle. Three-Vehicle Accident About 3:50 p.m. another three-vehicle accident occur red on Highway 99 just south of Stewart ave. State police said an automobile operated by Walter Degroff Jensen, 52, of 118 Vernada place, Med ford, had entered the left turn lane on Highway 99 for north bound traffic when it was hit by a car operated by Larry Jackson Freeman, 27, of Port land. The impact caused the Jen sen vehicle to jump the island and travel into the path of a southbound car operated by John Jules Paudois, 53, of 439 West Vilas rd., Central Point. Paudois complained of his neck and back hurting and a passenger in his vehicle, Rudy Mae Paudois, was reported to have suffered a bruised leg, ' The three cars were remov ed from the scene by wreck ers.

According to state police, Everett Logan Hardin, 25, of 8 Laurel St.. apartment 6 Medford, was northbound in the right lane of the three lane portion of the highway when he noticed flares near a stalled truck in the outside lane for southbound traffic.

Mclnnis said he still cannot understand how a man can be jailed when he has not committed a crime, and when he has, in fact, helped to solve one. Mclnnis retreated slightly from an earlier statement that he would never again report a crime if he thought he might be held as a material witness. He said, instead, that he would report the crime but would not stick around until police arrived. Bennett said if he had to do H all over again, he would probably do the same thing. What else can a man ao; You can't let murderers go running around free." Just Doing Job Bennett particularly was not mad at anyone. "Every one was just doing his job," he said. Both men were glad they did not have to testify in court and that the case was settled the way it was. Mclnnis said the whole thing was nothing but "a waste of my time and waste of the taxpayers money. Mclnnis also was unhappy with a statement made by Dis trict Attorney Reeder in Sun day's Mail Tribune. Reeder was defending his actions in regards to confining the two men, and at one place in the story he said "each (man) has a long record of arrests and neither is a stranger to jail." Not Charged With Crime Regarding the story, Mcln nis said: "I'm not charged with a crime and he (Reeder) has no business of bringing up my past record at all. It sounded like I was born and raised in a jail." If Mclnnis was mad at Reeder his feelings were ex actly the opposite about every one else in Medford, particu larly the police department. He said: "In the police stations that I have been in prior to this one I only wish they'd had a police force and a man in charge of it that knows how Jacksonville Man Sought in Douglas Roseburg-IUPD-Douglas coun ty sheriff s . officers were searching for a 64-year-old man believed to be the owner of a pickup truck found in the North Umpqua river east of Roseburg. ' The sheriff's office said the truck was listed as belonging to Riley J. Norris, of Jackson ville, who was working in the Rosebura area. Norris has been missing since the truck was found partly submerged last week end. Sheriff Ira Byrd said an anonymous caller reported no one had drowned in the ve hicle. Officers were trying to drag the truck, from the water to day. Locals PermU - A building permit was issued recently by the cily building department to Harold Stevens to construct a 51,000 canopy at Front and Main sis. Chair Damaged - An ovcr stufted chair was considerably damaged about 8:40 p.m. yes terday in a fire at the home o Nila Zumwalt, 42 Rose st., according to firemen. They reported moderate smoke damage throughout the house. Cause was not listed. Fire in Wall - A fire report-, ed in a wall at the home of Donald R. Baker, 3036 Biddle rd., about 10:35 a.m. yester day, was out on arrival of firemen, who said that dam age was minor. Some wall paper around the flue was burned about 5:05 p.m. yes terday in a chimney fire at the residence of Norman L. Courlright, 716 Cedar St. Pos sibly some smoke damage oc curred about 7 p.m. in a flue fire at the residence of Harold L. Burton, 1020 Ellendalc dr. Tops for Luncheon Pastrami Sandwiches Bar-b-cues to IUE CLOCK Main at BartleM Ph. SP 2-6766 Believe Bad Deal to treat men like they do here. "During my stay here I have seen many arrests. The courtesy and the way they (the prisoners) were booked into the jail and the gentle treatment they got . . . was amazing to me." Head for Redding Upon leaving Medford, the two men said they were head ing straight for Redding, Calif., where Mclnnis rents a small cabin. They drove away from the police station in a 1949 Chrysler they purchased for $40 two weeks ago from another prisoner in the jail. Each man received $153 for his troubles. State law pro vides that a material witness receive $1.50 per day while in custody. They were in cus tody for 102 days. Mclnnis pointed out that he could prob ably have made about S700 in the valley pear harvest- the reason both men came to Medford-but said the $153 "is better than nothing." Mclnnis said he is going to look for a job as a cook some where in California. He is a pretty good cook in his own right, he said, and "used to hold down some pretty good jobs." Bennett said he is going to try and get work on a ranch somewhere in the south west. Turn Down Offer Before leaving last night the two men turned down an offer from Chief Champlin to stick around for another day and have a Thanksgiving meal, courtesy of the depart ment. Now that they are free, they said, they just want to get away. Mclnnis said: "We'll have Thanksgiving dinner just wherever we happen to be at the time." That is much the story of the two men's lives. It was the first visit to Medford for both men. As they were leaving Mclnnis said he might someday return to Medford "because it is a very nice town." Mac smiled as he said "I hope our next visit will not be quite as eventful as our first has been." Who can blame him?
