Hope is in Technicalities.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. Ex-Senn-tor
John M. Thurston, counsel for
Soiuitor Mitchell, reached New York
yesterday. In un interview hearing
on tho Mitchell case ho virtually ad
mits Mitchell's guilt, but oxpresses a
hope that tho Senator uiay ultlmately
esoape on technical grounds. Here
Is what Thurston says:
"1 feel quite hopeful of obtaining
a reversal of tho vol diet against Sena
tor Mitchell when tho ouso, which has
been appealed lo tno United States
supreme court, is opened ngnln next
spring. There are several points on
which I believe we can obtain this re
versal. Cue of these is Iho wording
of tho indictment against Senator
Mitchell, which should specify tho par
ticular crime with '.which he is
charged. This it does not do."
Another technical point which Sen
ator Thurston says may galu a rever
sal of tho verdict is the fact that under
the stattito for limitations the alleged
crime was outlawed before tho Indict-:
mout wns returned,
OF FED
ERAL GRAND JURY
Prom Portland Telegram:
That the desert of Crook county Is
to give up its secret and the crime of
years ago be unoovered by tbo Feder
al grand jury, just oalled, Is the be
lief of those conversant with the
work of the present session Thelown
er of the grinning skull of at least
one viotlm of deadline hostilitiy be
tween sheep and cattlemen, now lying
on tbo interior sagebrush range, is to
be revongod, and no longer lie with
empty eyesookots upturned to the
stars, as If asking why the murderer
goeB unpunished..
The murdorer of "Shorty" Davis, a
former sheopman of the Crooked river
country, who owned a ranch sixteen
miles southoust of Prineville, and who
suddenly "dropped out""ahout three
years ugo, is said to havo beeu dis
covered uud the subject will be taken
up by District Attorney Fraucis J.
lleney, und an iudiotment returned.
charging an interior Oregon cattleman
with tho foul murder, it iB alleged.
Ihis case has mystified the Prineville
district for yoars. It attracted tin
usual attention from the fact that al
though uo proof of a crime could be
produced, there wub every reusou to
beliove thut Davis has been the vic
tim of foul play, because of frequeut
luurrols with cattlemen, who disputed
with him tho range alongside his
Crooked river ranch. Men have hunt
ed long for his romuius, but so fur his
body has not boon discovered, not
withstanding tbo fuct that there is a
standing rewurd of $3000 offered for
information leading to its recovery,
91000 of which was offered by Crook
oounty and $2000 by the estate of the
missing man.
The finding of tho corpse, with
whatever clew that discovery might
furnish, bus never yet occurred, aud
friends of "Shorty" Davis have al
ways believed that so carefully wub
the orimo covered up thut it would
never bo punished, uud tho murderer
brought to justice. Later develop
ments itidioute that tho whereabouts
of the body is knowu, and that before
the piosont grand jury bands in its
findings the blood of the murdered
man, whioh orieB to Heaven for jus
tice, will be satisfied.
The theory of the crime is that
Davis waaoniioed to eoine lonely, uu
froquented spot along Crooked river,
wnore rank growth of cottouwoods
covOrs the ground, and tborewas shot
down, lbat tbo unfnrtunnto sheep
man was. left .lying where he fell and
never given the consideration of a
hasty burial is shown by the report
that a lone sboepberder knows the
spot whero he lies and wiirdireot the
olllcers of the law to the scene of the
orimo of tho desert.
ThUB murder will out aud tne secret
so preyed upon tho mind of the lone
ly sheephorder, who in the long days
whou no tended his sheep brooded
ovor tho matter, he finally made up his
mind to confess bis knowledgo of the
crime, lie will bo a witness for the
government before tho grand jury and
will tell all ho knows.

Sbe Wtals to "Meander on tbe Farm." !
From tho American Farmer. j
We are in receipt of one of those
gushing letters which are oharacteris-
tio of sentimental girls just leaving
high school, with their beads full of
the kind of notions about life obtain
ed from trashy novels. She says she
has beard a great deal about the de
lights of country life, occasionally
reads a copy of the Amerloan Farm
er, whioh be father takes, and longs
for a romatio experience with a young
farmer at one end of the story and
herself at tbe other. This girl, who
lives in a oity, informs us tbat "it Is
a fond dream of mine to become a
farmer's wife and meander with him
down life's pathway. " Of course our
natural desire .to please the young
ladies would incline us to help thiB
one secure what sbe wants, but some
insuperable ditiicultiea present them
selves, Tbe othor sido must ne con
sulted aud we fear tbe average young
farmer does not tuke so romatio a
view of life as our correspondent,
Farmers are practicalpeoplo and when
they murr? insist above all things up
on a pruclicul wife. So wo fear Miss
Meander might not suit any of our1
farmer aqcuaintances even if aftor j
trial, he should suit her as well as she (
now fondly BUpposes. Our gushing
correspondent will lcnrujsoine day, es
pecially if she marries a working man
either in country or city, that there '
something to do beside going
downJ4ifes pathway" locked arm in
arm, singing lullabies aud eating
cream tarts. Rofore the honeymoon
is over our meandering friend is aure
to be painfully disillusionized. Her
hubby is liable to mo tin dor off uud
leave ber without wood which will
necessitate her meandering up aud
down the lane peeling splinters off
the fence to cook dinner. Of course
this will cause a rude shock to be
added to when tbo young wife is com
pelled to meaudor along in the wet
grass in search of the cows until her
shoes are tbe color of rawhide and
her stockings soaked. About tbat
time there's apt to be 'some display
of temper as "life's pathway" looms
up in the distance as a rocky and
thorny road.
Still other trials await, when it be
comes necessary to meander out
across twenty acres of plowed ground
with a club to drive the bogs out of
the cornfield aud tear your dress on
the barbed wire fence. If, in this
mood, you meaudor back home to the
house and find that the Billy gat has
butted the stuffiu" out of your child
or iiudthe old hen with forty ohick-
ens in the parlor, we venture to say
tbat you will put your bauds ou your
hips and admit that meandering is
not what it is cracked up to be. Of
course all this is presuming that you
have secured a husband of - average
good sense and habits. If, however,
he 1b in tbe habit of meandering over
to the saloon too oftou or when want
ed for work is found to have mean
dered off with evil companions, tbe
case will be much worse for the young
wife who expected to find "life's
pathway" all roses and sunbeams. Al
together, wo are inclined to think
that it will notbe safe for our fair
correspondent to meander to tho
country in search of a busband. Sbe
had better try to oatch on to some
rich young fool or some old one who
wants a "darling," so that tbe mean
dering business may be over roads
less rooky than those usually lying
before the hard working wife of an
industrious farmer.
