The re-see ling of these acres was soon afterward com pleted. The fall grain which came through tiie w nter unharmed is in ex cellent condition ; the plant is well root ed and it has t; tooled luxuriantly. For age crops have made excellent growth and pastures and ranges afford abnnd-; ant feed for stock. Lambing is well along and losses have been slight. Goat shearing is nearly completed and an av erage clip ( mohair has been secured. The season is much earlier than usual and the farmers have their work well in hand. Spring plowing has advanced i rapidly at.d many farmers have their spring wheat seeded. Early sown spring 1 i-ruin everywhere has come to a good siand, ai.d the grain crop generally is in a very salisfv;tory condition. Rapid progress Km also been made in planting 1 gardens, and those planted early are making good advancement. Hops are doing well and the cultivation of the ' yurds is in active progress : some vines h re far enough advanced for training ' ai d twining, and this work requires cousiderahfe attention. Corn planting has just started in southern Oregon. -Several hosts occurred during the past few days, but fruit, which is gen (-rally in bloom, has suffered very little ; reports as to the amount of damage are conflicting, but apparently peaches have :-eu injured the most.

ATTORNEY LORD AFTER HENEY Portland, April 11. Upon being ques- "Since it appears that Mr. Hecey ex amined the grand jurors, according to his own statement, if it is not a legal body tbe fault is his alone. He states that he does "not think therefore that there is ground for such motion " II he paid more attention to the study of the law as announced by the Circuit Court of the United States and less to exploit ing his own personal att innients, this er-ror might not have occurred. Every j lawyer knows that no court can inquire into tbe question ol which particular grand juror voted for a parti, ular in dictment, and even if a record of the vote as given should be kept, the sanctity ol their proceedings would be held invio late by the court. It is too absurd tor anyone to seriously consider that an in dictment would be valid unless the de fendants should show "that there were not 12 votes to indict without the vote of the unqualified man." For how can it be determined whether or not the un qualified man or men were not included within tbe 12 voting to indict, and tbe Federal Courts have in a long line of decisions held to the rule. Now, as to Mr. Guistianovitch, a member of the recent grand jnry. He was born in Stari Grad, Austria, about 50 years ago, and came to Portland in 1876, where he has since resided. His parents, according to the statements of their neighbors in the old country now residents of Portland joutinued to re side there, and have never visited this country. If Mr. Guistianovitch was naturalized at Astoria, he can easily es tablish his right to sit as a grand juror, but no passport, even if issued by the Secretary of the United States, can alone justify him in passing upon the liberty and honor of an American citizen. "I should seriously regret doing Mr. Guistianovitch an injustice by making this claim in behalf of my client, but the gentleman from California must furnish mote than an interview in a newspaper to keep hie indictments which are other wise defective, in court." EUGENE GIVES UP DISTRICT FAIR Eugene. April II. It has been decid ed by the local district fair board that no fair will be held here this fall nor the succeeding fall. Rosebnrg gets it for two seasons and then if Eugene wants it again we can have it after that. The committee appointed some time ago to at certain the feeling of the busi nees men ana citizens in general in re gard to holding the fair this year found tbem decidedly apathetic on the subject It will be remembered that Eugene agreed to give Roseburg a certain sum to insure the fair here for three succes sive years. A note was given for a part of this sum. Recently the Roseburg people made a proposition to the En gene directors to return tbe note if Rose burg could have the fair this year and next. It was thought best to accept the proposition. Will Prosecute His Defense on Technical Grounds. Claims Indictments are Void and that Heney Had No Right Before Jury. Portland, April 11. In the federal district court today United States Senator Mitchell pleaded not guilty to three of the four indictments returned against him by the federal grand jury On the fourth indictment, that charg ing him with violating section 1732 of the revised statutes of the United States, in having received compensation for bis services while senator before a depart ment of the government, he demurred, alleging that the grand jury was not regularly constituted and that District Attorney Heney had no right to ap pear before it. If these technical grounds are sustained it would also knock out the other four indictments. The indictment demurred to is the case where Mitchell is accused of us ing his influence to pass claims for Frederick A. Kribs, while a member of the firm of Tanner A Mitchell, who had been retained by Kribs. Mitch ell's attorney stated that three of the indictments charged acta involving a moral turpitude, and to these his cli ent desired an early trial and would interpose no legal objections but as to the remaining charge, which he con sidered only technical, the defense would rat-e objections as to the valid ity of the proceedings. The demurrer claims that Hensy's appointment is il legal, that he is not a resident ol Ore gon, and that Heaey ha worked up a sentiment against Mitchell in the news- papers that was unduly vindictive and bitter against him before the grand jury before whom he appeared at im proper times.

Land, Livestock A Lumber Company indictment. W. W. Steiwer, peaident; H. H. Hendricks, secretary and treasurer; Clarence B. Zachary, eenera! manager, and C. E. Glass bookkeeper, of the Belts Creek Lnnd, Livestock A Lumber Com pany, entered pleas in abatement, simi lar to that of Senator Mitchell, the charge against them being conspiracy to cover" or fence up tbe public domain. District Attorney Heney objected to the pleas in abatement on grounds of their being filed too late. Hearing will be given Friday morning at 10 o'clock. Mea Is AkatcsKSt Censures Heney The plea in abatement is voluminous, and is an attack upon the validity of the organisation of the grand jury, as well as upon the right of United States Dis trict Attorney Heney to apear before the jury. It is alleged in the plea that certain members of the jury were not qualified, and that the proceedings were thereby invalidated. It is charged that George Guistin, one of the jurors, is not a citizen of the United States, and was therefore ineli gible to sit in the jury, rrank Bolter and Joseph Essner are declared to have been disqualified for the reason that neither of them was on the tax roll of the county in which he lives. Further objection is made that W. E. Robertson, the first foreman of the jury, was ex cused one day after the grand jury was empaneled, and that six days later George Peehler was added to the jury. Objection is made to the legality of this proceeding. Carl Phelps was ex cused January 27. Fred G Buffum was added to the jury December 19. All of these acts are cited as evidences of the ditqualifications of tbe jurors. Tbe plea then proceeds as follows: "That he ought not to be compelled to NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR FISHERMEN Sante Fe, N. M. April 11. Ranchmen in this county have discovered a schema for getting rid of coyotes, which have been a source of almost endless troubls. Large fishhooks are being tied to bushes placed some distance from the ground toforcethem to jumpfor the meat. When answer the said indictment liecause one Francis J. Heney appeared and acted before said grand jury in the proeecu tion of --aid charge, part of the time as a nretended United States district attor ney, and part of the t me in the alleged capacity of special or assistant attorney ; that said Francis J. Heney was not at all or anv of said time a permanent or any resident of the district of Oiegon, but wae a resident of the state of California, and that he could not lawfully act or appear as district at torney or special attorney, anil never whs, and could not be by reason of said non-residence lawfully or legally ap pointed to said office, and never had legal authority to act as such district at torney ; that he came to Oregon from said state of California temporarily only, and for the purpose of prosecuting this cause and other causes of a similar na ture ; that he expects and has always expected to return to said state of Cali fornia to reside permanently as soon as these prosecutions are completed ; that said Francis J. Heney is very prejudiced against this defendant and has been very active in working up feeling against him through the newspapers and other wise both in and out of court, and that he was, as this defendant was informed, believes and alleges, very vindictive and bitter in his prosecution of said charge before said grand jury to ttnd this in dictment, and this defendant alleges that if said Francis J. Heney had not so unlawfully appeared before said grand jury this indictment would not have been brought, all to defendant's sub stantial prejudice, all of which defend ant it ready to verify." Further on the statement proceeds : "And defendant is informed, believes and therefore alleges that said Francis Pittsburg Diapatch. J. Heney remained with said grand jury and was present when they were delib erating on the evidence and on the charge made against this defendant pre sented in this indictment and that he greatly prejudiced this defendent before said grand jury by arguments and de nunciations against this defendent, made in their presence, and by threats and intimidations toward all or a por tion of said grand jurors, all to defend ants further substantial prejudice. 'Wherefore defendant prays judg ment whether he shall be called further to answer said indictment and prays that the same may be quashed, and that he be dismissed from this count and go hence without day." Hesey Objects Mr. Heney consented to the stipula tion, but objected to the plea in the abatement on the ground that it was filed too late. "There are three other indictments," resumed Judge Bennett, "which charge Senator Mitchell with acts involving moral turpitude, and in these caee we waive all technical objections and plead not guilty. We waive the reading of the indictments We wish to urge an early trial and would like to have the cases set at the earliest possible mo ment." Judge Bellinger explained that the cases could not be heard until the court has occupied the renovated quarters in the old postoffice building, and that the cases could probably be called by June 1. This ended the proceedings so far as Senator Mitchell was concerned. The demurrer filed by Judge Bennett is general and goes to each count of the indictment. It alleges that the facta alleged are not sufficient to establish any crime the jaws of the coyotes close upon the food they are caught by a hook and held suspended until killed. Tbe plan is working extremely well, and ranch men who have been loosing chickens and lambs in large nuiiilKirs are much pleased with the results. Oklahoma City. Okla., April 11. The president and p rty lieyan their return this morning at : r experiencing a rain storm during tho nicl.'. A special from Frederick says : The wolf chase to which the president was bo eagerly looking forward to, be gan early this morning.

The wolf tried to elude his pursuers bv dodging but this only hurried matters i as it enabled the foremost dogs to catch up with the prey, and as the wolf turned to beat off its assailants, other dogs sprang upon the bristling animal and bore it to the ground where it was quickly dispatched without the aid of the hunters.

PRESIDENT SHOULD TAKE NOTICE W. B. Sherman has returned from a trip in the mountains showing limber lands to some California people, and j while on the trip caught a mountain j lion says the Grants Pass "Herald. " There was a dog with tbe party, and as they were passing over Battle moun tain, at the head of Battle creek, the dog struck a fresh track and soon it be. came evident that it had scented a wild animal. The party followed in hot pur suit, and after a short distance had been covered the dog brought the animal to bay. When they arrived at the scene it was found to be a mountain lion. After a few wild shots had been fired, the lion finding itself surrounded took refuge in a tree. A well directed shot from Mr Sherman's automatic pistol brought tbe animal to the ground. It was found to be a mother mountain lion. Two baby lions were found in a near by cave. The dog rushed into the den and a fight was apparently on. Mr. Sherman, fearing j that an older l'on was in the den which would mean the death of the dog rushed in with his automatic pistol, but found j to his surprise the dog was grapping j with a baby lion. Before the dog and 1 lion conl I be separated the dog had in jured the animal so badly that it soon died. Another baby lion was discovered in the cave, and the dog was about to. p-unce upon it, but Mr. Sherman, the hero of the day, crawled into the crevice f the cave, pulled the dog back and had it held outside while he crawled into the ...... cave. Another struggle then ensued. After the dust had cleared away the hero came out with a very much alive baby lion in his clutches. Excitement was then supreme, in which the whole party participated, in cluding the dog. One of the men was disrobed of a sweater, which they con verted into a straight jacket for the beast, which was easily carried into civilization. Much to the surprise of the party the little fellow soon made up with them and seemed quite tame. Tbe living prize was awarded to Mr. Sherman, as the hero of the day. It has been chris tened "King," and it now takes Mr. Sherman's entire office force to enter tain the littie monarch. BURGLARS GET BUSY AT DRAIN Drain, April 10. The general mer chandise store of T.
