GRAND
JURY
I
Drawn to Try Ballot
Frauds,
Committed in Marion County
at June Election
The Judges Instructions Are Clear
and Explicit.
Judge Burnett conducted the draw
Ing of the jury in a very strict man
nor according to law. Clerk Hull was
also very careful In all his work, He
read the status for contempt as relat
ing to jurors, forbidding them con
versing about any caso or receiving
any communication relating to the
case. W. S.,Taylorof Gervulsand A.
W. Drager of Yow Park were ap
pointed bailiffs.
Thoro was an unusual largo attend
anco of lawyers nnd the courtroom
was filled with spectator.
District Attorney Ilaydcn and hlB
deputy John II. McNary, will con
duct the examination before the
grand Jury. The ballot rrauds will be
first Inquired Into.

Illness or 111 health In the family. A.
B. Huddluscn was excused as mix.

The other twenty four rmmen wore
put In tho box aud seven drawn out a
follows by Clerk Hall as grand jurers:
1. II. Pohlc, blacksmith, Salem,
foreman.
2. Hal. D. Patton, stationer, Salem,
a. Walter Morley, carpenter. Salem.
4. W. E. Her, farmer, Uuttovllle.
6. Ed. M. Cone, farmer, Butluvlllc.
0. Ira Carter, farmer, Sublimity.
7. Jacob Armstutz, farmer, Silver
ton. The jury tiiuk their teats and were

ballllTof the grand jury.
The rest of tho Jurors In the regular
panel remaining arc: M. Helbort,
Geo. B. Ilovenden, John Nlcol, Earl
Race, E. F. Parkhurst, John Craig,
Wm. Armstrong, Sr., G. G. Given,
Chus. McCormlck, Clinton Kurt.,
Andrew Hughes, L. C. Cavanaugh, J.
L. Cook, M. Dormnn, W. .Y. El ler,
Hontry Kraus, C C. Goodale.
Instructions wcro given by tho
court, Judge Burnett reading the
same. He stated the usual rules and
added thattliey could absolutely rcfuso
to Indict anyone for any crlmo, how
over morally corrupt they may be.
Private lulluences might be brought
to be bear on them and they should
avoid all such or stand In contempt of
court. No matter how prom
inent or wealthy or lulluentlal an ac
cused person might be that should not
shield them. In cases of conspiracy
statements of parties who wore acces
sories, if made before tho commission
of the crime could be received ugalnst
all. If made after the crime they
could bo received agalngst tho perton
from whom they emanate only.
He especially charged the Jury re
lation to the ballot fraud cujcs In
Marlon connty. He rcclttd that at
the last term of his court, here that
seven persons were indicted for
forgery of public records ut tho June
election.
By an loudvertency a defect was
committed In drawing one Juror to
take the place or a 6lck juror.
Section 70, law of 1801, governing
tho caso of altering any 'return, was
read to them. He commanded them
to indict any and all persons who
altered such returns or aided and
abetted the same. Tlio Judges and
clerks, of an election were public
officers aud their records of talley
eheetB were public records within
tneaulng of the law as expllcltty set
forth In two sections of the code.
The Instructions were very elaborate
and explicit In the ballot cases and
gave general satisfaction,

A getitloman from Ogden, Utah, Is In tbe city, and would bo a vory valu

Ho says the same man, who built tho La Grande factory, David Ecclcs,

Tho factory at Ogden has run ono season's run, and lias bcon a Unanctal
success, ns stock Is held at eleven cents pitjiniunju. Thp farmerawho raise
the beets sell them delivered at tho factory at 81 20 pur ton.
The Ogden man says he has personal knowledge from acquaintance with
tho farmers that they consider it a profitable crop. Tho yield on irrigated
land ranges from 7 to 20 tons por aero, twolvc to twenty-two per cent sac
charine matter, 00 pure.
1Mb profitable for tlio factory aud tho farmer at 81.2.1 per ton, sugar
yield being 210 pounds to tho ton, and
They need no bounty as the industry has proven a success on its merits.
Double, the acreage has been contracted for the coming year's crop,
The factory In La Grande claims that boots cannot be raised at $1.00
without loss to tho farmer. Any member of tho state senate who wishes
Information from the Ogden man can bo put "against tho gentleman" by
