Itellalile Authority Tluit Itooacvclt
Will Hrliiit Hult Agalnat l'
mth in New York.
WA8IIINUTON, Jan. 14. It Is
learned today upon reliable authority
Hint the Department of Justice has
turned over to United Slates District
Attorney Stlmson of tho Southern
District of New York, all tho papers
connectod with the ranama Canal
purchase that has boon tho target (or
criticism for tho last six months. It
la bel loved this transfer Is made with
tho vlow of bringing criminal action
In Now York against publishers of
nowBpnpors who havo been held re
sponsible for tho reflections on men
connected with tho transaction. At
torney Stlmson, It Is oxpoctod, will
turn tho pnpors over to District At
torney Jeromo for presentation to
tho Qrund Jury that a suit may bo
brought under tho laws of New York,
A strange animal has been seen
wandering on the Ico between Duck
Islnnd and Howard Day. It Is report
ed as of collossal site, of a dark col
or and very slow of motion. Viewed
with a field glass it resembles a griz
zly bear but of such monstrous pro
portion as to mako one shudder
while looking, as to what the mon
ster Is doing out on the Ico n mile
from shore Is 'puzzling.
Someone snld, "There nrc strnngcr
things In Heaven nnd earth than In
philosophy," nnd there may be strnn
gcr thing In tho Klamath forest than
anyone has yet seen, and It makes
ono nervous to think of this mon-
Hlrou thing, whntover It Is, wander
Ing on tho frozen faco of the grent
Klnmnlh l.nke.
The above mystery was again lo
cated hero yesterday evening on tho
Ire a mllo or so off Squaw Point. The
boys who nro trappers first took
It to bo a largo black bull and start
ed out to mako a closer Inspection,
but when they discovered that the
murks on tho Ico wcro not those or
nny kind of a cow, but marks of hugo
claws, they concluded that the high
rocky promotory of Squaw Point was.
near enough to view, from which
vantago ground they took long rnngo
shots with their Savage rifles, but
with no moro effect thun to elicit, as
they thought, a low bellow or roar,
nor could their bear dogs bo Induced
to advanco a foot towards tho mys
terious thing.

nge, or somo monstrous megatherium
resurrected by somo fato unknown

Ilellcc(l That Hitchcock Ii Taking
a llniiil In the Oregon Fight.
I'OHTI.AND, Jan. 14. Thnt n
Jeaperato effort I being made to de-.
feat Governor Geo. K. Chamberlain,
tho people's- cholco for United States
Senator from Oregon to succeed
Chas. W. Fulton, becomes moro cer
tain as the days pass.
That Krank Hitchcock, Chairman
of the National Republican Commit
tee, Is taking n hand In tho fight Is
Indicated by tho fnct that Italph Wil
liams, Republican National Commit
teeman, Is here, as also Is 'Oi'msby
Mcllarg of Chicago, said to bo tho
personal representative of Hitchcock
In tho fight to defeat Chamberlain.
This Is not Mcllarg's first visit to
Oregon. Last fall ho spent some tlmo
here endeavoring to harnlonlzo dls
cordnnt elements within tho Repub
llcan party.
That tho antl-Chambcrlnln forces
will mnp out n lino of campaign be
tween now and next Tuesday, when
tho first ballot In tho Senatorial con
test Is to bo taken, Is certain. It Is
expected that Williams, Mcllarg and
others Interested will get together
in this city and develop somo scheme
In an attempt to weaken tho State
ment No. 1 forces.
Tho first trial under the local op
tion law In Klamath County was com
menced In tho Circuit Court this
morning, In tho caso of tho State vs.
Iko Wright. The Slato Is represent
ed by Harris & Irwin, who wero ap
pointed by the Court to assist tho
Prosecuting Attorney, and the defense
I s being conducted by .Attornoys
Tlios. Drake and R. S. Smith. At
2:30 this afternoon eight jurors had
been selected, the defense excusing
five. As tho panel had been exhaust
ed, tho Court ordered a special ve
nire of six summoned.
Tho Jurors selected nro: J. II.
VanMeter, J. J. Arant, J. M. Ander
son, Krcd Loosley, John Forbes, W.Y.
Garrett, Kd. Uloomlngcamp and John
Matney.-
Exceptional Interest Is being man
ifested In this case, as on the result
will' probably depend future actions
In tho local option cases. Mr, Wright
is tho only ono against whom an In
dictment for selling liquor has been
returned, and It Is believed that tho
Grand Jury Is awaiting tho outcome
or his caso before considering the
charges against a number of other
men In the city, who wero bound ov
er after a preliminary hearing await
ing action of tho Grand Jury. If
Mr, Wright Is cleared by the jury. It
Is believed that there will be no more
local option cases tried at this term
of Court, and tho fight made by those
opposed to the saloons will have been
a failure. It Is also quite as certain
that If Mr. Wright Is found guilty
by tho jury, that other Indictments
will be brought In.
Tho people 61 tho city naturally
are greatly Interested In the outcome,
and from, tho attendance this after
noon, the Indications are that the
Cburt Houso will bo crowded to It
full capacity during the course of the
trial.
