Judge Bennett of The Dalles, to Conduct His De
fense at the Land Fraud Trials Says
He has been Treated Unfairly
by the Newspapers.
Portland. Or., March 14. Senator
John H. Mitchell has arrived in Port
land from Washington after visiting
on his way here. To all inquirers the
Senator declared that his health is
good, and he appears to be much bet
ter than when he left for Washington
in January, although the ordeal
through which he has passed has left
its impress upon him. Mr. Mitchell
refuses to give out any information
beyond the statement that he is ready
for and desires a speedy trial.
As to the nature of his defense the
Senator would say nothing. .
"That is a matter which I do not
care to discuss for publication. The
newspapers here and elsewhere have
been unfair to me."
Senator Mitchell paused for a mo
ment, and then with a flash of indig
nation, he burst forth vehemently:
"The Oregonian has been damnable.
You know that as well as I do."
The angry gleam in his eye and
the vigor with which he spoke were
even more expressive than the words.
But it was evident that Senator
Mitchell was firmly resolved to keep
a tight rein on himself, and he added
immediately :
"I really do not wish to discuss the
charges against me. You will have
to excuse me."
To his friends Senator Mitchell
CAVES OF EASTERN OREGON WILL BE EXPLORED
W. S. Mayberry of Milton, who is a dittance of over a mile with out evi-
tk w principal of the pnplic school at
Ant dope, Visco County, expects to
irit the cave of Crook county, Oregon
this summer, on an exploring trip. Mr.
Mayberry spent two years in that por
tion of the state some years ago, and
while there visited the lava beds and
cavos on the Des Chutes river and will i
return, to more fully examine this
wonderful region which has been explor-!
ed but superficially. '
At places in the lava formation on the
Des Chutes holes are found which lead '
to snbterraiiean caverns of unknown
depth and in manv places water can be
heard running underneath the floors of
the caverns on a still lower chamber.
The caves vary in heigh and width. In
some places it is necessary to crawl
through the small opening between the
dark chambers, and on other places the
caves widen out into spacious rooms,
filled to overflowing with bats and rep
tiles It is said that one of these under-
ground chambers has been explored for

reiterates his declaration that he is
guiltless of the offenses charged
against him. and that this will be ful
ly established when the cases are
tried. He says that if given a fair
trial he has no fear of the outcome.
Jndjc leaactt For Mitchell
Judge Bennett of The Dalles . is to
be Senator Mitchell's attorney. As
sociate counsel may be employed also,
but Judge Bennett will have charge
of the case. He is regarded as one
of the best jury lawyers in the state,
and is said never to have lost an im
portant jury case. He is a Democrat
and has twice been a candidate for
the state senate, but was defeated
both times. His second defeat oc
curred last June, when he ran against
Wheald on; the latter was elected by
a very narrow margin. W ien a young
man, Judge Bennett served a term
upon the circuit bench. It is possi
ble that Senator Mitchell will join
forces with Hermann and Wil
liamson, and that the same attorneys
will appear for all of them. George
A. Knight of San Francisco and the
local firm of Dolph, Mallory, Simon &
Gearin have been mentioned as their
probable choice, and it has also been
reported that one of the foremost
jury lawyers of Chicago had been re
tained by the defendants. Thus far
these rumors have received no confir
mation. dence of a tefminition of its wonderful
suites of sub'eranean rooms. The for
mation is lava and the caves open into
side chambers and smaller rooms in
numerable. At places openings are
found reaching out to the surface at
' varying depths and the entire country is
underlaid with a eystem of these lava
caves.
The principal opening by which the
caves are entered is at a place on the
Dee Chutes river, where a round hole
has been formed in the surface of the
ground, by a section of the earth's crust
about 30 feet in diameter sinking to a
depth of 30 feet forming a circular hole
30 feet across and 30 feet deep, from
which the cave opens and by which ex-
' ploring parties enter.
Mr. Mayberry will take a companion
with him and make a complete explor
ation of tbe caves this spring if possible
It is thought that a wonderful system of
' underground caverns may be discovered
adding a new and thrilling attraction to
, Oregon's t houeand wonders.
SULPHUR,
Japanese Section Hand Crushed to
Death Under Handcar Wheels.
Foreman Injured.
After the day's work had been fin
ished and the Winchester Japanese sec
t On crew under Foreman John Kay
were returning to the station last Mon
day evening about 6 o'clock, the end of
a crow bar in some manner came in con
tact with one of the car wheels and was
hurled from the car, at the same time
striking one of the Japanese workmen,
named Okajaki, throwing him across
the track before the car, which passed
over his body crushing him (fatally. Id
passing over Okajaki's body, the car
was derailed and the rest of its occu
pants thrown of!. Foreman Kay's
left leg was dislocated at the knee and
one of the two bones of the lower leg
was broken a few inches beiow that
joint. Asona sustained a badly sprained
back which will keep him from work for
several weeks. The other members of
the crew suffered only slight bruises.
Dr. Geo. E. Houck, of this city, at
tended the injured men at Winchester
shortly after the accident. He notified
Justice Ixmg by telephone of Okajaki's
death, but after learning the facts in
the case, Mr. Long concluded that an
inquest was unnecessary.
Okajaki was to have resigned his posi
tion on the section on the evening of his
death and upon receipt of trans porta-
tion the next day, go direct to Japan to
enlist in the Mikado's army, which is
now in pursuit of the retreating Kus-
sians in Manchuria.
The accident occurred about a quarter
of a mile south of Winchester. The
body of the unfortunate Japanese was
taken to Portland on the overland train
Monday night.
RAILROAD OVER
THE MOUNTAINS
Cottage Grove, Ore., March 13. The
railroad project mentioned here some
time ago by P. J. Jennings to the Coos
Bay county on the west, crossing the
Cascade mountains beyond the Bohemia
district, is being given considerable
serious consideration. G. B. Hengen,
who financed the Oregon Securities
Company and built the Oregon A South
eastern Railway from this place to Wild-
wood, has been looking over the coast
a vantages of such a project for some
time, and there are many rumors to the
effect that he and his people intend to
do heavy work this year.
Their present railway is 17 miles long
and was built primarily to tap the rich
timber resources east of Cottage Grove
and open the Bohemia mining district
It is expected that tbe road will be ex
tended up the basin it is following until
near the Oregon Securtiee mine, and
those who have been interested in the
new project believe it will cross tbe
divide somewhere near the headwaters
of the I'm p) as, reaching tbe Dee Chutes
valley at the headwaters of that stream,
where there are vast areas of white
p me.
Local developements indicate to tbe
community tbst Mr. Hengen and bis
associates have big work ahead, such as
offers for property, but until he madefnn
extended trip to tbe coast surveying the
country through which tbe proposed
route is to pass the real significance of
the enterprise was not appreciated.
STERLING MAY
CLEAN UP $25,000
Medford, March 14. One of the few
Southern Oreton hydraulic mines that
has been supplied with water for con
tinual operations this season, is the fa-
mous old Sterling, of Jackson county,
near here, vie property of B. E. and
Levi Ankeny, and N. Cook, of Portland.
It is believed that tbe output of the
Sterling for the present season, despite
the absence of rain, wilt be c ose to f2S,-
000, And. may be greater even than thai.
This is a production of some 40 or 60 pec
cent on the amount invested, and only.
a small crew i required" to operate the
property. Five veers ago the output of
tbe Sterling was f90,000. Plans were'
laid to eclipse that record this year but
low water prevented.

Coroner May Investigate Death
the Third Mrs. Branton.
Writing in Note Sent to Cottage Grove Marshal Simi
lar to that of Many Letters Written by
Branton. Preliminary Hearing
Cottage Grove, March, 14. Prosecu
ting Attorney George M Brown
arrived here from Roseburg and has
been busy all day collecting evidence
against John Branton, charged Willi
shooting John Fletcher. Samples of
notes and letters in Branton's hand
writing were found and they bear
unmistakable similarity to the note
which was received by the city marshal,
signed John Fletcher. These letters
will be submitted to handwriting exert
at once
Tonight Attorney Brown left for Eu
gene. In achlition to arranging lor me
preliminary hearing of Branton, Proecu
tor Brown will discuss the question of
exhuming the body of Mrs. Branton tbe
third. It will lie necesnarv for County
Judge G. K. Chrisman, of Lane county
to isruean order granting Mr. Brown
the nower to draw uion I.ane countv for 1
the expense of conducting the coroner's !
inoue-it and to pav for a chemist to ex
amine the contents of the stomach. If
this is done the bodv of Mrs. Branton
will be exhume J at once.
The constant talk and ugly rumors
which have been current during the
past week have caused public sentiment
to change against Branton. Today men
ho had previously held to the inno
cence of Branton say that if he is proven
guilty of shooting thsre is perhaps some
thing in the stories about tbe deaths of
his three wives.
John Branton has been married three
times, and soon after marriage he is
said to have induced his wives to take
out liberal insurance parable to him.
His first wife died at his home on Camp
Creek east of Eugeue ; his second wife
died suddenly under suspicious circum
stances at Waterville. His third wife
died suddenly a few months ago at Cot
tage Grove. The latter having heard
the ngly rumors concerning the demise
of Branton's first wives, had refused t.i
insure her life, but she had property in
Cottage Grove which went to her hus
band at her death and which after her
death he forthwith mortgaged for all it
was worth. The death of each of Bran
tons wives seems to have been sur
rounded bv suspicious circumstances.
and Fletcher is supposed to have known
too much of the details.
It begins to look like Lane county has
a Johann Hoch.
ncafe br lia is Castes
Cottage Grove, March 14 Specula
tion aa to the shooting of John Fletcher
is the theme on everybody's tongue.
Tbe rambling stories as to the death of
John Branton's three wives have also
whetted the public appetite.
T. J. Ellioit, the father of Branton's
first wife, arrived here today from al
terville for the purpose of looking after
his three grand children. He is a man
of about 70 vears of age, his hair is al
most white, his shoulders drooped from
age, yet he is active ana seems to nave
good possession of his mental faculties
it was easy to discern from his counte
nance and expression that he is one of
those honest citiiens who regards his
word as sacred aa his note. Elliott said I
"My wife died some 21 years ago, leav
ing me two boys, John and William,
and two daughters, Mary and Millie.
The latter became tbe wife of John
Branton. 1 opposed her marrying him,

to thain three children were born. As
to what caused her death I don't know
She was a kind mother and was loved
by all who knew her."
Relative to the cause of the death of
Branton's second wife Elliot did not
know, only that she died verv suddenly.
"There was no suspicion thrown
aronnd Branton," Elliot continued,
"until after the death of his second
wife. Yes, his first two wives were in
sured for $1000 and 12000 respectively,
in favor of Branton."
Asked if he thought Branton was re
sponsible for the death of his wives and
the shooting of John Fletcher, Elliot
said :
"I hop.' not. 1 hope there was no
foul play with my daughter or any of
them. 1 do not want to accuse him un-

his home near Walterville and hastened
here to see that these children were
properly cared for. In conclusion he
said :
"I cams up here to look after my
grandchildren. I want to take them
home with me or see that they have a
good home and are properly provided
for.
Another heartrending scene was wit
nessed this morning. A man took a
letter to the Branton house for the child

wrote :

The matter of exhuming the body :
