and on this the sheriff's officer is now
working. The following from the La
Grande Observer of Wednesday morn
ing would apparently implicate the
two men being held here:
"This morning Coroner j. @. Henry
was notified that a man had been
killed at point about three miles
above Hilgard, and that the body was
lying near the railroad track. Aside
from some small change there was
nothing of value found ON the body.
The man was undoubtedly run over
by freight train No. 55, which must
nave passed over him about II o'clock
last night. The dead man was recog-
nized as one who had been in the Hol-
verson saloon at Hilgard last night
in company with two men who were
acting the part Of deaf and dumb men,
but their actions were such as to cause
suspicion, and it is thought by those
who saw the men that they may be
responsible for the mans death as they
suspect foul play. The body is that
of man Of medium size and appar-
emily 40 years of age.

NORMAL IS SAFE.

superintendent Ackorman Says the
Normal is in No Danger.
II have no fears whatever for the
Weston Normal school, said State
Superintendent j. II. Alderman to a
Pendleton paper.
''The Weston Normal is not in
any danger, in my estimation, and
will remain one of the permanent in
stitutions of Eastern Oregon. 1t is
needed in this sction to educate teach
ers, and prepare them to conduct the
public schools along right lines. If
we believe in public schools we must
believe in training public school
teachers SO as to make the public
schools right.
''The influence of one well trained
teacher is not confined to her own i'm
mediate circle, but let us suppose
case: Say we graduate first class
normal teacher at Weston, Mon
mouth or from some other normal
school, and this teacher enters the
public schools as a teacher. The pub
lie that grows up under guidance and
training imbibe her principles, take
unto themselves her methods and
manners and 50 as these pupils come
to the graduation period and go, them
selves, to become teachers in the pub
lie schools, they carry with them to
put into actual practice the the train
ing their old teachers received from
the normal, and in return gave
them.
1T is far-reaching and vital thing
TO teach teachers.

RYAN HORRIBLY CUT
A Runaway Team Throws Stockman
Into A Barb Wire Fence.

| Micheal Ryan, the stockman, re-
ceived injuries in runaway accident
yesterday afternoon that has placed
his life in the balance. He was
brought to town by A. J. Wagner.
His injuries were dressed by Drs. S. Il.
Sharp and A. B. Stone, and then he was
removed to the hospital at Pendleton.,
Ryan left town shortly after nooff
with his team and hack for his home
north of town, from where he intend
ed going to Pendleton where his sister,
Mrs. MillaIky, is critically i'll. At
the Dell place above the mill, the
team was on the dead run and when
they swung into the road and started
north, one line was dragging on the
ground and Ryan, in an intoxicated
condition, was utterly helpless to hold
or guide the horses
The team whizzed by the two
Schrimpf boys at this place and fur
| .ther Rp the road rushed around the
buggy of A. J. Wagner. On up the
road where the team, TO go home,
should have turned to the north, they
swung sharply to the south, turned
completely around toward town and
one of the horses fell. Here it was
that Ryan was thrown into a barb
wire fence and terribly lacerated
about the neck and body.
Mr.. Wagner drove up and with great
difficulty got the injured man into
his buggy and fastened back to town.

HELD In ATHENA JAIL
Deaf and Dumb Artists Accused of
Robbery by Ephriam Williams.

NTwo men acting the deaf and dumb
stunt were arrested last evening by
Officer Gholson, on complaint of Eph
Williams, the charge being robbery.
Williams came to Athena with $27 in
his pockets and it is known that he
spent money freely over the bar. Yes
terday afternoon he missed his pocket
book, and Sam Ward claims he saw
one of the two men who is now under
arrest, take Williams purse. When
searched by the officer. rs cents was
found on one of them and the other
had no money.
The two fellows came into town
from the west yesterday and went out
of their way to make the play that
they were deaf and dumb, but this
play is considered ruse for some pur-
pose or other for at least two citizens
claim to have heard the men talking.
The men are being held yet this
morning, though the officers think
Williams has weak case against
them. However, there may be more
serious charge against the prisoners,

Ryan was unconscious and very weak
from loss of blood. An examination
revealed terrible cut along the
right side of the neck and throat and
another cut on the right side of the
body between the ribs, at least six
inches in length. The wound on the
throat was terrible one, extending
from the ear TO the point of tho chin,
laying bare the jaw bone and exposing
the glands and muscles, the flesh be-
ing horribly torn and lacerated by the
barb wire There were other minor
cuts on the hands and other portions
of the body, but DR.. Sharp stated
that the cut on the side of the body
was considerably worse than on the
neck and throat.
Ryan became conscious while his
injuries were being dressed and stood
the ordeal without anesthetics, and
conversed with those about him. DR..
Sharp says the Injured man stands a
good show for recovery, unless blood
poisoning complications should de-
velop. The wonder is that Mr.. Ryan
was not kill outright. BY actual
measurement for distance of seven
feet the barbs on the wire fence con-
tanned blood stains, particles of flesh
and bits of clothing.
The team on its return tows-cd town
collided with the hack of the
Schrimpf boys and damaged it to
some extent. Ryan's hack was demol
ished, but the horses were not injured.

STATE LAND AGENT
ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS THE
OFFICE DOES NOT EXIST.
The Only Person Qualified to Act as
Agent of State Lands Is the
Governor of Oregon.

Attorney General Crawford has rem
dered an opinion IN which he decides
the question raised by Commissioner
General Richards, of the general land
Office, holding that the governor is
the state land commissioner, and that
he alone is qualified and authorized to
approve and affect land election lists
The attorney general also takes occa-
sion to go little deeper into the laws
governing the Office of the state land
agent which have been raised so often
but hitherto unsettled, in which he
holds he can find no act upon the stat
utes which creates the Office of state
land agent except by mere mention,
and that there is no such official un-
less it be the governor himself, and
that the so-called state land agent is
merely an authorized agent of land
commissioner to assist him with his
duties.
The question raised by the commits
sioner OF the general land office was
whether the governor was still land
commissioner of the state, or whether
that title was not transferred to the
state land agent by virtue of the act of
the legislature of 1908, which empow-
ers and authorizes him to make the in
demnity school land selections. If
the attorney general had held in ac-
cordance with the views of the COM
missioner of the general land office, it
would serve to invalidate a great
number of lieu land selections at pres
ent pending before the department at
Washington, aggregating a total OF
over $4,000 acres of indemnity school
land selections, and the lists would
have to be returned for revision and
correction. AS it now stan DIS, no cor
rections will have to be made, and the
Washington land department will be
so notified.
As to the question of the existence
of the Office OF the state land agent,
this has been up for discussion upon
numerous occasions, but it has never
been raised directly in any case in
such way that the courts felt i'm
PEELED to decide 1t. The attorney gen
eral holds that there is no law in ex-
istence which creates this office, the
only one making any mention of it be-
ing that which describes the duties of
that official, and he concludes that
the duties described devolve upon the
governor as land commissioner, and

A VALID INDICTMENT
SENATOR MITCHELL's TRIAL is
SET FOR NEXT TUESDAY.
Enters a Plea of Not Guilty to Charge
Of Defrauding the Govern
ment While Senator.

Portland, June 15.--Senator John
H. Mitchell must face trial next Tues
day. His demurrer to the indictment,
his last hope of escaping trial, was
overruled by Judge De Haven. At
the request of the district attorney the
panel was Immediately drawn, from
which will be chosen the jury that is
to determine the question of Senator
Mitchell's guilt or innocence.
In few words Judge De Haven
swept aside the technical objections
which defendants counsel had raised
to the validity Of the indictment, and
declared his belief that the offense
was sufficiently charged.
The demurrer was accordingly over
RULED. Through his counsel Senator
Mitchell entered plea of not guilty
and the case was set fer Tuesday, June
20. A panel of 200 names was then
drawn by the clerk of the court.
The charge which Senator Mitchell
must now face is that he entered into
an agreement with Frederick A. Kribs
whereby Mitchell, then senator, was
to prosecute certain timber claims
owned by Kribs and pending before
the land department, for which serv-
ices he was to receive certain fees ;and
that he did so prosecute these claims
and received therefor certain fees.
These acts are contrary to the federal
statutes.
The defendants demurrer to the in
dictment was on the grounds that the
indictment was indefinite and defec-
tive in that it failed to allege that
Mitchell was senator at the time OF
the commission of the illegal acts;
that it failed to specify with exact
ness the special claims for the expedi-
tion Of which fees were paid; that the
description of the claims was defec-
tive in that abbreviations were used
and that the indictment was too uncer-
tain to form bar to future second
indictment for the same offense All
of the objections were declared by
Judge De Haven to be purely tech
nical and to go only to the form and
not the substance Of the indictment.
Senator Mitchell was NOT in the
court room when court convened this
morning, but Senator Thurston, his
attorney, and District Attorney i. J.
Heney were present and crowd of
interested onlookers filled the lobby.
In low voice Judge De Haven an
| nounced his decision.
In the case of the United States VS..
Mitchell, i'll which demurrer to the
indictment was argued yesterday, l
am prepared to decide the matter at
this time. The objections urged by
the defense against the indictment are
think merely as to form, and as to
form the indictment is open to criti-
cism--yes, to severe criticism. Yet /
think it substantially charges the de-
fense. 1t appears, therefore, from the
indictment that the defendant, Mitch
ell, rendered services before depart
ment at Washington in matter in
which the government was interested,
that he received compensation for
such services and that he was at that
time United States senator. The
demurrer is, therefore, overruled.

as the seat of negotiations between the

In view of the selection of the seat
for conference it is expected that
within few days Russia and Japan
will announce formally the names of

is deemed likely also, coincidentally
with the announcement Of the pleni-
potentiaries, that an agreement will
be reached as to the time of holding
