Malicious and Brands Them as Atrocious Lies Washington, Jan. 17. With dra- matic fervor Senator Mitchell, on the floor of the senate this afternoon, de- noonced his accusers and publicly breaded them aa "atrocious and ma licious liars." He proclaimed his in nocence of the charges upon which he and Representative Hermann were indicted at Portliad and expressed his confidence in his ultimate vindica tion, and declared: I assert in the most positive, unqualified manner that each and every one of these charges, 'sofar aa they involve me, are abso- utely, unqualifiedly and atrociously false, and I bore and now indignantly and defiantly denounce, authorize and publicly brand them malicious, atro cious lies. 1 defy my defamers and challenge them to produce any evi dence other than th it of condemned thieves, forgers and perjurers to sus tain any such charges." Witche'l then explained in detail bis connection with S. A. P.

"I have done this invariably without making any charge or accepting any compensation of any kind, and so long as I remain senator I shall cod- tinue to do these things for my COn- ' stituents, so help me God, even at It was at the conclusion of the roo the risk of hundreds of indictments." i tine business when nearly everv The criticizing of the public officers who "knowingly misconstrue public to the Oregon senator, that Mitchell acts of public men and thus seek to ( arose.

Mr. Grant went to look at Tucker's find and both were sur prised to get a string of colors in tbe first dirt panned. M. P.

TWO GIRLS FIGHT WITH A LYNX NorrHPOHT, Wash., Jsn. 14. While a maddened lynx was worrying their pet dog the I'.'iiliipe sisters attacked tbe wild beast. One literally wrested the dog from the jawi of the lynx, tbe other killed it with a shot through tbe head. Faye and Florence Phillips, aged 17 and 10, respectively, live on tbe home stead of their father. Fred S. Phillips on tbe reservation side of the Columbia, near the mouth of Big Sheep Creek, two miles north of Nortbport. Yesterday afternoon the hired man ran home to tell that the dog had treed a large lynx The girls seized rifles from tlte wall and followed up the batk of the dog. He had the beast treed on one of the higher limbs. Both girls fired at the same time. The wounded animal bounded into tbe air and landed on the ground a few feet from the girls, who were coolly reloading their weapons. The moment the beast struck tbe ground it was attacked by the dog. Tbe animals turned over and over la a sav age struggle, but the lynx was too much for tbe dog. So rapid were the move ments of the animals that the girls fear ed to shoot, because they might kill t sir pet dog. Finally the dog emitted a shriek of mortal agony. The girls rushed to the rescue. One grarped the dog's limp hind legs and lit erally pulled the combatants apart, while the other sent a bullet through the bead of the lvnx. They shouldered the animal be ween them and returned home accompanied by the limp, torn and bleeding dog. They hung the lynx in the woodrhed. and he proved to be an unccnally large beast, with long tas sel on his ears.

Three or four persons have already been tried and convicted of conspiring to defraud the government out of a portion of its public lands in Oregon and tbe government is persistently pushing tbe investigation against other fraudulent land entries in that state, with the object of bringing the guilty parties to justice. The indictments returned against Sen ator Mitchell and Representative Her mann, however, have produced a pro found sensation both East and West, on account of the great official prominence of the men thus implicated. And it is not that an indictment by a grand jury, whether federal, state or district, carries with it any conclusive evidence of guilt, because usually the accused or suspect ed party is not only denied a hearing, but is denied the privilege of confront ing tbe witnesses aga nst bim-in fact denied every ordinary right of self defense. A erand jury in session, as a general rule, is a secret inquisition, that admits of such testimony only as will tend to implicate and condemn a person or per sons accused or suspected of committing some crime, and even the reputation or character of a witness called before it to give testimony affecting either the life or liberty of a fellow man, is not usually scrutinised or seriously called in ques tion Tbe ystem, itself, seems to be a relic of the dark ages and is measurably at least out of harmony with tbe object and ends of justice as administered by oar more enlightened modern courts. Several of the states in the Union look upon the grand jury as a useless ap pendage to the department of justice, and, except under extraordinary cir cumstances, never think seriously of calling it into requisition. It seldom, if ever, accomplishes any better purpose than can be accomplished by what is termed "an information" filed by a properly constituted prosecuting attor ney, while the grand jury not infre quently through spite, malice or gross misrepresentations of unreliable wit- f The Drag M'ear tk S.

REGISTERED DOUGLAS COUNTY B AN K IS i A SECRET INQUISITION or even perjured brings in an indictment against an in nocent person, thus cruelly defaming bis character and putting him to griev ous trouble and great coat in order to vindicate his good name. Even then some snnoying stigma will still dins; to the name and reputation of an innocent person thds ui justly and unfairly per secuted. In the cases of Senator Mitchell and Representative Hermann, we are loth to believe that either of the distin guished gentlemen have been guilty of any intentional wrong-doing. SenatoT Mitchell has served in varices official capacities for many years and is sow serving a third term in the United States Senate. He is now nearly 70 years of age and his conduct hitherto has been that of an excellent ritissn, and an honest and faithful official. Representative Hermann has bean a resident of Oregon from boyhood and for honesty of purpose and strict integ rity of character no one in his com munity stands better or higher than he does. Was a member of Congress some time before being appointed commis sioner of the General Land Office by the late President McKmiey. It was while holding that position, some three years ago, that it is now alleged that he con spired with some land sharks in Oregon to defraud the government. Knowing the man as ww do, and being somewhat familiar with his past record, we refuse to believe that ae has not fulfilled ev ery duty conscientiously, with strict in tegrity of purpose and according to the best of his knowledge and belief. That he may have been imposed upon ly designing and dishonest men may be admitted, but that he has been guilty of any intentional wrong-doing will not be seriously entertained by any fair minded citizen who is at all acquainted with the man. Following is, in part, what Represen tative Hermann is reported to have said in his own behalf at Portland tbe other day after the indictment against him had been made public : "Tbe indictment returned against me is the basest of conspiracies and mali cious persecution. I came here upon th: advice and earnest suggestion of my friends two weeks ago, as I had been in formed by them that efforts were being made to implicate me and Senator Mitchell in land frauds which have been under investigation and trial, which frauds it was rumored t had knowingly aided and advanced during my service aa commissioner of the general land office.
