NEW STANDARD FOR JURYMEN
A new standard for jurymen has
been set in the selection of the jurors
in the trial of Senator J. H. Mitchell
in the United States district court, i
Portland, and the credit belongs to
Judge A. S. Bennett, of The Dalles,
attorney for Senator Mitchell, and to
United States District Attorney Heney
representing the government, says
the Grant's Pass Courier. In thi
one of the most important cases ever
tried in Oregon, and which will be
hard fought from start to finish, the
attorneys, who are among the ablt:
on the Pacific Coast, were less than
one day in examining the 25 men
from which the jury of 12 was take
that are to give the verdict in th
celebrated land fraud case. And what
Is more to the credit of United States
District Attorney Heney and Judge
Bennett, they were willing to take
men as jurors who bad read news
papers, holding that as no disbarment
to their qualifications.
On this new standard for jurymen
the Oregon Journal, of Portland
makes the following terse and com
mending observation :
A new thing uuaer the sun a jury
selected In a few hours, every one
whom could read the newspapers an
knew a spude from a wheelbarrow
an automobile from a hayrake. They
all acknowledged that they could read
and had read the local papers and yet
they were almost immediately accepted
as jurymen both by Mr. Bennett who
by the way knows Oregon men pretty
well and by Mr. Heney, who doubt
less knows his business.
"The world do move." The legal
theoretical idea of an ideal juror
is
that he should be an idiot; that
he
should have no mind, and if he has
any that he should never have made
a conclusion upon any proposition
but behold, in a greut case we get
jury in a few hours of men who reat
tho papers and think! Wonderful!
Thrown from Hayrake.
James Elliott was severely, injured
one day last week while raking hay
on his farm south of town. While
going down a hill, the harness broke,
letting the rake down and throwing
Mr. Elliott to tho ground in a manner
that caused him to be considerably
bruised especially about the lower
limbs. Prompt medical attendance was
given, but ho has been confined to his
room since. Latest reports indicate
a speedy rocovory.

patkln was tho sweepstaue buck at

and it was his hair that won the gold
modal at the World's Fair at St,
Louis. Mr. Grant has also shipped a
