Suit Decided in Its Favor in the
Federal Court.
END OF A LONG LITIGATION
All the Ground i'll Controversy Has Been
Given TO the Defendant
Company.

Boise, Dec. 14.-In the United States
circuit court Judge Beatty handed down
a decision in the celebrated mining case
of the Tyler VS.. the Last Chance His
decision is in favor of the Last Chance,
giving that company the ground in con-
troversy. The decision turns upon the
question of priority which had already
been decided by higher courts in favor
of defendant. The vital part of the
decision is as follows:
THE supreme court when considering
this case, 157 United States Ante, after
deciding only that issue which fixed the
priority of location in the Last Chance.
reversed and remanded it to this court
for a new trial The Last Chance claim
is prior and it is so located that the
courts all say its owner is entitled to
follow the ledge on it's downward course
between the vertical planes of what
were located as its side lines.
1.-THE defendant Last Chance COM
pany is therefore entitled to judgment
against the plaintiff for the possession
of the premises in dispute which lie
between those planes which descend
vertically from those two lines of the
Last Chance which were located as it's
side lines and it is ordered accordingly"
ne ldIBtI part VI the QCClSlOH III
taken up with discussion of a point
similar to that which entered into the
Amy Silversmith case. In the latter
case, the supreme court decided that a
claim in which the vein crossed both
side lines had no extra-lateral rights.
This point was raised by counsel for the
Last Chance in the case just decided
| The vein in the Tyler intersects one
end line and one side line or the original
| location and counsel for the Last Chance
maintained that as it Is claim that
had no extra-lateral rights when the
vein crossed both side lines, the same
reasoning would exclude 1t from such
rights if the vein intersected on the end
line and one side line as in the case OF
| the Tyler. On this point Judge Beatty
holds against the contention of the Last
Chance company. He says
at is manifest that this rule can not
be followed when the apex OF a ledge.
before reaching the other end line pass
es out of the side line, for 1t would give
the locator more of the ledge under
ground than he has Of the apex 1t
would give him a portion of ledge Of
which he does not hold the apex. TIC
hold that his ledge shall be cut off by
the vertical plane and side line, is cut
ting off the right to follow 1t down.
which the laws have given him.

ly, aggregating in value about $50, 900.
In addition is the estate in Germany
valued at 800, 900, which was given to
the bride by her father as a wedding
present.
Paul Won Gontard of Hagen, West
phalia, on the invitations is referred to
as plain Mr." but locally he is known
as Count" He comes from one of the
most prominent of German families,
which counts its wealth by the scores of
millions of dollars, and has entire
charge of the immense iron plant of his
uncle, said to be three times the size
of any other similar plant in the world
The Busch family exerted itself to
make the wedding a social event such
as this city never before witnessed.
The Southern hotel, two floors of which
have been retained for months, and the
entire st. Nicholas hotel, were filled
with guests from Europe, as we'll as
from New York, Chicago. Boston. Phil
adelphia, Milwaukee, indianapolis, and
in fact nearly every prominent city in
the United States. After the wedding
there was a reception at the Southern
hotel, for which the entire floor of the
special hosiery had been engaged. For
the church over 1000 invitations were
issued, while the guests for the recep-
ton and collation. exceeded 1900.
THE WEDDING.
A small army OF workmen were en-
gagged today in giving the finishing
touches to the floral decorations of the
church, and when their task was COM
pleted the interior of the sacred edi-
flee was transformed into a floral bow
er. 1t was a white and gold wedding,
| in the matter of floral decorations and
costumes, save that of the maid of
honor. The bridesmaids were costumed
in white satin with gold illusion over the
dresses and trimmings, while the maid
of honor wore a gown of a delicate tint
of green. The bridal toilette was of
white satin trimmed with Valenciennes
ments. Promptly at o'clock the
strains of the wedding march from
Lohengrin, the bridal party moved
down the aisle to the altar. Two little
tots, Miss Lily Dorothy Magnus of Chi
cago and Master Adolph Busch, niece
and nephew of the bride, led the way
strewing flowers before the party The
bride and groom walked side by side
AS an innovation in the matter of at
tendants, they had two tiny brides

NO NEWS OF THE srRATHNEvls

EXPERIENCED Navigators Say III, Disa bIed
steamer l. in Great Peril.
Port Townsend, Wash, Dec. 15.-As the
days pass by and no news of the disabled
steamer Strathnevis is received, general
anxiety for her safety Is intensified. Dur
ing the past week violent storms have
been raging in the North Pacific ocean for
1000 miles off shore and experienced navi-
gators say that the Strathnevis is in i'm
minent danger of laundering.
The storm off Washington and Van
couver island coasts for the past few
days has been unusually severe AL
though there are five steamers securing
the ocean for the disabled craft, the opin-
ion is fast solidifying that she succumbed
to the fury Of the storm.
Victoria, B. c., Dec. 15.-H. NJ. S. Royal
Arthur today joined the fleet of vessels
searching the North Pacific for the dis
abled Strathnevis of which no tidings
have been received since the ship John
CANDLES sighted her almost a month ago.
The flagship is equipped with an old fash
toned crows nest in the forward mast
for the purpose of gaining the best pos
sible observation. She goes due west from
here, but how far is not known, and it is
expected she will return Christmas.

words uniting the couple were spoken
by Rev. DR.. John Snyder.
The total expenditure of the Busch
family upon the wedding Is variously
estimated at from 1000 to 500. 000 The
floral decorations at the church. hotel
and Busch residence alone are said to
represent an outlay of nearly $4,000.
The brides sister, Anna Louise Busch.
as maid of honor. was second only to the
fair bride herself in loveliness. These
sisters are two of the most beautiful
girls to be found the world over, and
once upon a time, tits said, at a state
ball given in Constantinople, in con-
trast to the swarthy beauties of the
Orient. their blond loveliness won for
them the title of THE Angels" This
pretty name clings to them in all their
travels throughout Europe and the east.
Both of these girls are of the pure blond
type. with exquisite compilations. rose
red lips and curling locks of gold, and
remind one of nothing so much as dain-
ty. beautiful, Partisan dolls. but, un-
like the dolls, animated, cultured and
intelligent.
One of the most amusing things about
the nuptials has been the great rivalry
among the leading hltels Of the city for
the honor of being chosen as the place
for holding the wedding festivities. The
Planters hotel and the st. Nicholas
were eager rivals of the Southern for
the coveted honor. With so many good
hotels placed at his service, Mr.. Busch
was at loss which to choose. Tony
Faust, the famous restaurateur, cut the
Gordian knot. Being mutual friend of
Mr.. Busch and the Southern hotel man
agement, he induced the former to have
the wedding at the latter hosiery. Thus
the Southern won the prize.

Chicago Typos Avail Themselves OF
FUND Provided by the Union.
Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE rooms of the To-
cal typographical union were thronged to-
day with idle printers anxious to avail
themselves of the first payment of the
out-of-work benefit of IS per week that
was voted a few days ago by the organiza-
ton. Owing to the general adoption of
type setting machines, over 300 expert
printers are now unemployed, as against
70 in December of last year, and it has
been seen for months that the granting
of a weekly relief, during the winter at
least, would become a necessity. There
are about $500 members of the union in
this city, and these will be assessed 81
each monthly for the benefit of their less
fortunate colleagues. Whatever defcien-
cy there may be in the assessment will
be met from the general fund. which at
present amounts to several thousand dol
lars.

Sofia. Bulgaria, Dec. 15.-At the meet

money for the government owing to it's
attitude upon the religion of the heir APP

the latter persisted, declaring he would
only yield to force. The president and
the government officials thereupon left
the chamber amid immense applause.
NJ. Neithcoff maintained his position to
the tribune until the president returned
to the chamber. The president was greet
ed with tumult and retired, but he soon
returned and ordered the removal from
the chamber of M. Neithcoff. Half a dog
en- ushers sprang forward to execute the
order, but they were beaten and finally
expelled by some of M. Neithchoff's
friends, while others of them led M. Meth
con- out of the house.
A tumultuous scene followed and the
president declared he would resign. He
left the chair but was literally carried
back by a majority of the deputies, who
finally adjourned the house.
