ne mad regular holes in his checks, large
enough to put a finger into The food

mouth was covered with crusts as thick
as finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began TO bleed and suppurate,
as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest
and back, in short, the whole body, was
covered over and over. We mad no rest
by day or night. Whenever he was laid
in his bed we had to pin his hands down,
otherwise he would scratch his face, and
make an open sore think his face must
have itched most fearfuliy

BY MACHINE.
Sheared Sheep-Several Ma
chimes IN use IN Benton.

The shearing of sheep by machin-
cry is largely coming into vogue in
Eastern Oregon, according to the
dispatches. Of 500, 900 pounds of
wool sheared in Harvey county,
most of it, a telegram says, was ta-
ken off by machine. Several ma
chimes are use in Benton county
this season, and are said to be econ
omical tor the purpose. The ar
rangement is simple, with nothing
new or startling about it. The cut
ting is done on exactly the same
principle that barber cuts hair
with pair of clippers. In the case
of the sheep, the power IS supplied
to the operator Of the clippers.
while in the hair cutting process
the barber's S hand is the seat of the
motive power. In the first, a big
wheel with crank to it is fitted
with ''cogs that operate on a smaller
wheel, which in turn moves pill
able shaft which in turn is attached
to the clippers. One man turns
the crank and the other applies the
clippers to the sheep. Shearing by
the method. after a little practice,
is said to be considerably swifter,
and far more humanitarian. By 1t
I the sleeps hide is very rarely
broken, although the wool may be
clipped off much closer. A dozen
of the machines are in use in this
county. Originally, they were
designed for goat shearing, but they
are fast passing into use in the
wool industry. In Eastern Oregon
electric power or other power is
used, and a dozen to 20 pairs o
clippers are operated with the re
suit that huge bands of sheep art
sheared in a comparativly shor1
time.

TRYING MITCHELL.
What Lawyer. Morris Said
About it Since the Case
Went to Trial.

There is deep concern in Corval-
lis over the outcome of the Mitchell
trial, now in progress at Seattle.
Tidings from the court room are gen
orally looked upon a. encouraging.
It has for instance, been observed
in great many cases where tales
men have been interrogated on the
subject during the examination by
the attorneys, they have almost in
variably declared it to- be their
opinion that Mitchell did right in
killing CreEeld. This means that
the knowledge of CrefHe1d's teach
ings has become widely dissemin-
ated, and in the state of Washing
ton his doings are looked upon with
disfavor. 1t is known here also
that the attorneys for the defense
are not in any sense discouraged
with the outlook. In letter writ
ten Wednesday evening to friend
in this city, Mr.. Morris, senior
counsel for Mitchell, said that up to
that time, the case had gone pretty
much along the lines he had ex-
pected, and that he had every hope
of an outcome favorableto his client.
He added that the prosecution was
making strong fight to secure a
conviction, and that the defense
was meeting the assault with equal
vigor, and that he felt reasonably
certain that those struggling in be-
half of the Mitchell boy would hold
their own in a legal battle.
All Monday, Tuesday Wednes-
day and Thursday was spent in Sc
curing a jury. On the subject of
jury, Mr.. Morris stated in his letter
that he was very we'll satisfied, al
though most of the rulings of the
court in the process of selecting
them had been adverse to the con-
tentions of,the defense. It is es-
timated now that the trial will oc-
cupy the greater part of next
week. Copies of the Seattle papers
received in Corvallis TEEN with ac-
counts of the trial. to which large
space is given up to pictures, in
cidents and other details of the pro.
ceedings.
| The discouraging feature of the
trial is the attitude of Esther
Mitchell and Mrs Starr, sisters Of
the defendant. They are apparent
Ily tstilliunder the Crefield influence
and claimsto have revelation tina,
lit is Gods will that they do not
give testimony to aid their brother,
!Ltwhom they insist, should suffer the
