rT4t laud fraud trials commenced
MUnuohiy at Portlutid with th argu
Kwott.f couiihoI for both sides on the
jgfeo if "abatement" on to red by a
xmmxivr of those arraigned on indict
xcuoft for defrauding or attempting
Uu jftfrauri the government. The
cmpanmt caino up on tlie plea made
ftp "5'"-'iMl H' Mitchell, and the aonttm
t&fit' the defeiiHe is that the grand
2jyn$ which found the indictments
xuaiKgaI, inasmuch as some of the
2RTRf were not qualified, and that
Olbtnrt Attorney Honey was not, at
flMetiae, quuliiled to act as such, and
tttouhtiense further demands that the
y&iM&iA abatement be triod before a
'pry. Among those interested are
'J&nSjHr Hermann, J. N. Williamson,
CDtatH. Ntckell, U. S. oommlsaioner
audi publisher of the Southern Ore
ttPUKMV and many others. Each of
MhsB-pfoas must stand or fall aojoord
niapta the decision made in Senator
dUifc&eii'B case. Every one of these
ritotanfeinta havo expressed their abll
ifgr to triumphantly exonerate them
unhnp from the obargos brought
:i4(Euiaot them, but now put. in a plea
ak abatement on purely technical
jjpcfmi&ia, which, if they win, will not
bto exoneration, but like the old
fiiatttfe rerdiot, "not proven," be as
wb of a moral disgrace as a convio
titanv simply lacking the attendant
wawafcinent. Judgo IJeuuett, for the
hhhi, contends for the right to Hie
fcltaftuu in abatement in a Fed oral
arnnrt, and argues that if it raises a
uyr-tbtuni of fact the defendant Is en
H&ijdt to a trial thereof by jury ; that
tftA cfaws not raise a question of fact,
4lkm the issues must bo decided by
kttoi tourt. Judge Bollinger scemod to
awftuatu by frequent interruptions to
t&iKKKumont that aplea in abatement
ijfrxuuY&iy a permit to challenge the
IRxiitf jury wliei-o there has been no
uOn)ttuuity, and says the question
Mutt Kites of added importance by rea

We do is Legitimate Business.
And it came to pass in those days
wneu Kosa Ted o toll, wno was King in
the laud of Amerlous, was shooting
mulos, rabbits, bears aud mountain
lions, that It became noised abroad In
the laud of Oregon, in the valley
of the.Hogue river, that Slim fc Shor
tie were in it strlotlv as to hardware.
tinware, stoves, plumbing, etc., that
people bogun to wonder with amaze
ment because, many merchants claimed
to them that thev were aellluu as
cheap as it was possible to sell ; but
on examining Hum dc suorue'S goous
and prices they found a vast differ
ence, so much that they are made to
uiurvel, and so nave competition, lor
thev are offering all kinds of bait to
hold tlie trade ; evuii'goiug bo far as to
oltor a 1U pur cout cut on goods sold.
Vet thev can't reach us on locks.
hinges, paints and oils, aud hardware
in general. They will have to figure
again if they catch us. We don't
otter any Da it, or practice trioKs in
trade, but suffice it to say, we have
been In the business and have run
ud asaiust lust such annua before.
Let this take deep rout in your
memories, wuere naugnt out eternity
can erase, that we, Slim & Sbortie
(Robert? & Garnett) never did, are
not now, and never snail be con
nected with anv oomblne. We buv
where we please, pay as little b we
can, and sell just asoneapaa consist
ent bus in ess principles will allow.
We know it will take us some time
to get acquaintedwith the people, but
we will all right, and when you know
us vou can say we are glad to have
met you. We guarantee every article
we sell, aud it it doesn't suit oring it
baok and net your money. We are
agents for the Charter Oak stoves
and know them to be far superior to
any other soli in Med ford. You who
are hunting cheap material stoves
made by convicts of some penitent!-'
ary will have to go elsewhere for them,
for Slim & Sbortie don't have anv
such. If you want a cneap, water-
mixed paint, please pass us by, for
we don't carry such. We have with
us a worker in metals that can make
anything you want in tin,copper,-.:nc,
galvanized or black iron, lie has
no equal in this city hb a plumber;
ho when J. A. Smith turns over a job
its right.
Now, people, take this for what its
worth. We havo to pay for printing
it; so come in aud see ub. aud if not
on business, thou on pleasure. We
now leave you to your meditations.
