Vol. XXXVII No. 36 ROSEBURG, DOUGLAS COUNTY, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1905- WOODBURN BANK HELD UP THURSTON SAYS AND ROBBED WEDNESDAY M,TCELW,LL W,N Two Masked Men Accomplished the Work in Broad Daylight Posse in Pursuit One Deputy Shot Salem, Or., May 3. A Journal special says that the Woodburn Bank was held up and successfully robbed of $3000 by two masked men about 2 o'clock this afternoon. It is reported that many shots were fired, but without in jury. The men made good their escape, but a posse is in pursuit. It is thought to be impossible for the robbers to escape for any length of time as telephone wires have been used in all directions, besides the posse in pursuit.

Thurston, ex-l'nited States Senator from Nebraska, who has come to defend his old friend, Senator Mitchell, is posi tive that his client is innocent of all charges preferred against him by the late Federal Grand Jury. He is equally confident that there will be no delay in the trials if the Senator can help it. "I do not wish to try our case in the newspapers," he stated this morning, "but if Senator Mitchell has been guilty of any wrongdoing or if anything devel ops during the progress of his trial that in any manner connects him with these land (ramie, then I shall be very much surprised, and all his colleagues will (eel the same wav. because they have implicit faith in his innocence. 1 have known him intimately for the past 2f years, and hold the deepest respect for him, both as a friend and a statesman. and I can say it with every degree of certaintv that no member of the upper branch of Cougr ss is held in higher re gard than Senator Mitchell. I'ntil I have had a chance to canvas ho is mv associate in the case. I am in no position to express any opinion relative to technical law points that mav be raised hereafter or discus the merit of the case in any way : but you can put it just a strong as you like that if there is anv delav in the land fraud trials it will not be on account of Senator Mitchell, who is most anxious to proceed. I tlm.k everything will lie cleared up so that we leg by can go to trial in June, and at all events the fault will not be the Senator's if we do not."
