SENATOR MITCHELL CONVICTED Jury Recommends mercy of the Court. Portland, July 3, On almost tbe stroke of 11 o'clock tonight the Jury in tbe case of United States Senator John H. Mitchell returned a verdict of guilty as charged. Tt:e jury recommends the defendai t to the mercy of the court. The charge is that Mitchell, while occupying a high position, accepted pe cuniary compensation for practicing be fore the federal departments at Wash ington. There was little belief in the city that a speedy verdict would be reached and, when the hour? wore away, and the jury hunji far into the night, hope, even among the remaining few in the court room, ebbed to (he lowest stage. A fw minutes before II o'clock the bailiff, as he had been a number ot times before, was summoned to tbe jury room. A moment later he reappeared and com municated to those in waiting that the jury had agieed. Judge De Haven, tbe attorneys, and the aged senator, whose lust days were to be c;ovned with disgrace, were sum moned, and, i:i an incredibly short time they applied Judge De Haven, as cending the bench without removing his overco.it, directed that the jurj' be brought iti. Tuey filed in and took their plires in the jury box. Captain .f. A. Shiden, c'eik of the court, was handed the verdict by the foreman, and, opening it proceeded to read it amid the crash and the rattle of fire works 'exploded in the streets on all f tir sides of the court house. CapUin Sladen spoke low, and, with the din vrihtout, but two sentences of the verdict were audib'e, "guilty as charged," and "recommended tr the mercy of the court." The aged senator received the ver dict with f. rtitude. Severe and evi dently unexpected as was the blow, he showed no i.ut ward sign save by a ghastly palor and a nervous stroking of his beard that he Mt the blow. As Captain Hidden concluded, Judge Da Haven said: "Gentlemen, is this your verdict." "It is," responded the foreman. Cler SLden polled the jury, and Judge De Haven directed that it be di& charned. When these proceedings were complete, Judge Dennett arose and, on the part of Senttor Mitchell, moved for a new trial. Judge De Haven directed that the motion be continued till next Monday and declared the court adjourned. All morning and a portion of the af ternoon was consumed by Heney in finishing the last argument of the pros ecution. He devoted a large part of the t.me in demonstrating to the jury that Mitchfll mast have known where the alleged ill gal fees came from. Io alluding to Mitchell's age and long service, be compared him to Lord Bacon, who, in lii old age, notwithstanding hia services to his country, greater far than Mitchell's, was tried and convicted by the house of lords, and sentenced to be imposed. Judge De Haven delivered the charge o the jury immediately on the con clusbn of Heney'a speech. The charg1 was fair and satisfactory to both patties, lie o'd the jury it was its duty to con ict if there was no reasonable doubt tta to his guil, otherwise the verdict shoul J be for acquittal. The gist of the matter whs whether Mitchell knew at th tiiii the money was paid what and wherefore it was paid, and whether he bad done work before the department expecting compensation. This act was for the jury to decide. The case went to the jury at 3:30 o'clock. CITV COUNCIL. Vaual Amount of Buatnesa at Iteg- ular Meeting.

A striking illustration can be noted in the sale of lands belonging to the estate of A. M. Guun. The Gunn place consisting of 320 acres located in the Eight Mile wheat district waa sold by the adminis trator of the estate about six weeks Kg.) for i'fil50. This was considered at the time cf the sale a big pricp. The laud was sown to wheat last fall and the prospects are now that it will yield 30 bush els to the acre. Under the law be fore the confirmation of a sale made by an administrator if any person will bid 10 per cent more than the original sale price also in cluding the expense of another sale, then the property must be put up again for the higher figure, A prominent Eight Mile farmer has already put in a bid on the Gunn property offering the re quired 10 per cent increase and has furnished a proper bond to guarantee the transaction. This looks like people had considerable faith in Morrow couunty wheat lands. Lexington's Fourth of July pic nic was a great 6ucces. The at tendance was large and everybody had a good time. Exercises con sisting of band music by the Lex ington band, and vocal music were held in the grove. Attorney S. E. Notson, of Heppner, delivered the oration. Mr. Notson spoko for three quarters of an hour and his effort is highly spoken of by all. There was a basket dinner under the shade of the trees. Iu the afternoon there was a ball game. horseraciDg and footracing. Every thing was orderly and a general j good time prevailed. Bad Ilotelkeeper. Echo, Or., June 30. E. D. Caps, pro prietor of tbe hotel Develle. ot Echo, got an idea into his head that he was bad, and proceeded to do up the town about seven oclock in the morning. The first man he met was Bert Benedict, a guest at the hotel. He was about to make short work of him, when Deputy Sheriff Spike, who happened to be near at hand, with the assistance of two oth er men, succeeded in disarming him. But he immediately went to a hard ware store and purchased a new gun, and wa'kod directly into the white Front saloon and made another play up on Thad Borns, the bai tender, when he was again disarmed and taen to a room and kept in custody until a war rant was secured. He was then taken before Judge Doin, who bound the prisoner over ti appear before the County Coik: i:pon a hond of $150(, which h? is trying to ob'ain, escorted by tbe sheriff. It is currently re ported upon the streets that the wife of the prisoner wid seek a divorce at once. While looking for bond'Cass made an excuse to step behind the bar in his hotel and caught a bottle containirg p?iso ) of some kind and attempted to drink ;!s contents but was prevented. He resisted the officer, and it took the united efforts of several men to land him in the City Jail. Much excitment prevails, as he id known to be in a desperate mood, and thj people are afraid that serious harm will be done unless ho is kept safely locked ni. Jealousy and whisky accounts for 1 is condition. v . , DIED, MILLER At the family home on Rhea creek, Monday July 3, 1905, Claris E. Miller, aged 43 years. Deceased was born in Shirtzer, Ger many.
