Merrill, a eoea arise ton or of Klamath county who has Wen visiting at the !. is and Clark Fair was a ictiiii of bunko men in Portland last week. Mr. Merrill met the usual, suave pleas ant stranger on Washington street. Strolling along two blocks above the city hall, the pleasant young stranger began looking in the grass along the sidewalk for a four leafe 1 clover. He had poor success with the clover, but suddenly found a lock. It looked some thing like a luck that guarded the old henhouse door lack in Klamath county The two examined it, and Mr. Merrill was unable to open it; his uw-male friead had better success. While both were looting with amaxement, trying to find by what strange magiothe lock had been opened, a stranger walked up. threw open bis coat and displayed a large star. "I am an officer," said he "and I place you both under arrest." The men were surprised. "How much money have yon"" asked the man with the star. You'll have to go to j dl or put op bail money for your appearance in court." Merrill s escort intornied the star wearer that be had f 100, but his hail it at home. wi,e ' "How much have you" the stranger asked of Merrill. "I have $120," was the reply After a little parleying Merriil gave the wear er of the star the $120 for bail The "officer" then left with his "pri soner" who stated he would go home with him and get the 100 his wife was keeping. Some time later Merrill apioared at the police station to learn when his case would come up. Then the news was broken to him that he had been bunkoed.

Mitchell began yesterday in the United States Court. It was lacking in anything sensational, but it was not devoid of interest. It resulted in the selection of the jury, after nearly eight hours of effort, that will decide upon the guilt or innocence of the defen" dant. It demonstrated what was not thought to be possible that out of 25 men drawn from the box, 12 could be chosen without opinion or prejudice to try the merits of this, one of the most important cases that ever came before an Oregon tribunal. Jury is Chosen The jury was chosen yesterday after. noon alter an ettori lasiina imin rned o'clock until 5 :30; when court adjou until this morning at 10 o'clock, at which time the charge will be made to .a TT tl... u Uie 1 iry dj .nr. iieiiev, turn Smmm t wwm defense'will beoutlinJ by either Judge Bennett or Senator Thurston, and the introduction of evidence will begin, Mitchell Trial. The jury is thought to be a goo-l one. and entire satisfaction is expies- . both shies with the men chosen. It is a farmer's jury, all with the exception of two, being men who follow the plow, and those tieing in toth cases men of high landing m their respective ones BMawtfew. i. Steiner, the tirst man rh:ieen, is a resident of Salem, mherele has been in the grocery business for years. R. I. Olive is also a grocer, who has for a lung linir leen in business in Pendleton. He. however, is an ex farmer, having been engaged in the management of a large ranch near Pen - selves nntil after the trial had been finished and the rase sent to them for consideration. He also stated that in asmuch as the case was of so great im portanre he would order that they be kept secluded from contact with the outside world until after their verdict had been rendered. For similar rea sons he would order that no newspa pers be given them until after the trial. The court then adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning, when the intro duction of evidence will begin. The case of the United States vs Joh n !l;rp'.e Mitchell was then called, and work of getting a jury was commenced. Clerk J. A SUden read the jury list, and the men whose names appear on the venire ansaered "Here" when their names w ei e called. There were some alwences, the list from which the jury was drawn having leen made severs! years ago. IVath has caused breaks in the ranks, and sickness and other un avoidable CMSei of detention kept some away. Bight of the original veiore wer found to be missing. Mam Seek Excest Judge John Pe Haven announced that '! jurors who had excuses to present should come forward and give them, and in response to the invita ion, over half the entire venire swarmed around i the Judge, presenting reasons ahy they ' could not serve. A large part of the men chosen for dutv aie farmers, and this season of the year finds them very busy at their work. Many stated to Judge Ie Haven that their own inter ests would suffer if compelled to be in attendance on the prolonged sessions of the coort. Br la a Given "In the case of the United States tl Mitchell, you will proceed to empanel the jury," said Judge IVHaven to the Clerk when the last ex use had been heard. Clerk J. A.

At the end of that time Judge Ie Haven con vened court and announced that in or der toallow tbe Clerk lime to complete the work in hand, adjournment would be had until "J o'clock.

Judge Bennett's Defense The aged defendant listened to the accusations without moving a muscle. Judge Bennett for Senator Mitchell fol lowed Heney. He stated that "Senator Mitchell i" es-chtially cureless in his habits. He trusted almost everything here to Judge ranner. During all this lime, Senator Mitchell was a very busy man. When regon intere-ts were up, appropriations demanded here at home, Wenitor Mitchell as the man we looked lor to do it. An 1 you, gentlemen of the jury, know that whene er Oregon citi-z-ns wanted private matters attended to. Senator Mitchell was the man writ ten to and besought to accomplish it.

"What we intend to show," said Judge Bennett, "is that personal en mi tv on the part of Mr. Uenev has led to the persecution of Senator Mitchell All the Puters, are-, Mr kin leys et ai have . been allowed to go scot-lree. anbs Ml. not even under indictment. All these have promised to tell something, and if : tell something satisfactory to Mr. Henev they will go without punishment. "It is not true that Mitchell ever talked personally with Kribs or had any direct knowledge of the Kribs matter. It is not true that Senator Mitchell ever asked anyone to swear falsely. But it is true that the only thing wrong Senator Mitchell ever did waa to change the original contract. He was getting to be i an old man He will be 70 rears old tomorrow. He understood that a horde of Government detectives were after him to besmirch his reputation, and fearing uufnendlv newspapers, he did consent to a i hange in the contract as alleged.
