BUNCO TRICK ON
A KLAMATH MAN
C. s. 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.

One of the most wonderful short runs
ever made was by "The Twentieth Cen

in May 1903, when it traveled 4 4 miles
at the rate of eighty-eight miles an
hour , six miles at the rate of ninety
miles an hour and seven miles at the
rate of Hti 4 miles an hour. On this run
the same train maintained a speed of
66.12 miles an hour for 241 miles and
70.2 miles an hour for 133 miles. The

The Trial is On.
I
Portland, June 21. -The trial of Sen
ator John H. 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.

The jury is thought to be a goo-l one.
and entire satisfaction is expies- .

farmer's jury, all with the exception of
two, being men who follow the plow,
and those tieing in toth cases men of

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!

"In the case of the United States tl

Heney today outlim-d the government's
case against Senator Mitchell to the
jury. He stated the government was

in cases in which the government was
interested, but that as a member of the

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.
He did all these things and had more
time for other men's business than for
ids own. He did not know that during
this time any fees were !eing taken

to Mr. Hall, but an objection was made
to his remarks along this line by Heney,
ahich was su-tiiiued by Judge DeHaven.
An exception was taken by counsel for

Judge Bennett, "is that personal en mi

: tell something satisfactory to Mr.

"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.
"-I do not know whether yon will be
lispoeed to look upou ibis act harshly.
but Senator Mitchell never knowingly
or intelligently violated any law of the
United Mates Government."

already Nvn secured, and the hay crop
generally promises to be an average one,

show considerable improvement since
last rejort. The yards are well cnlivat

uneven growth yields are ex'cted to be
less than usual. Early potatoes are in
the market. Cherries are ripe and the
