How The Gallant Colonel Happened to
Get Mixed up With
Sprasue.
Sensational Suit Transferred From
State to Federal
Courts.

The Sprague Gray yson. Alpine Con.
solidated Gold Mines company liti.
cation has been transferred to the
Circuit court Of the United States.
Colonel John T. Grayson. the priu-
cipal defendant, is lying in hos.
pital In Portland, slowly recovering
from an operation performed by his
physicians, but the mills of justice
are grinding on.
Colonel Emmett Callahan, one of
the counsel for the defendants, has
had the case removed from the Baker
county Circuit court to the United
States Circuit court at Portland.
The removal Is granted on the
grounds that the corporation defend
ant in the case is non. resident of the
State Of Oregon.
The cause of action of A. II.
Sprague, the plaintiff, is to the effect
that he and Colonel John T. Grayson
we're CO. partners In the mining busi-
ness, and that he has by virtue of
such co partnership a settlement
coming; that among the things due
him is 10000 shares of the Alpine
Consolidated Gold Mines company,
Of the value Of 100000. He also
claims other property as bis proper.
tion growing out Of the co.partuer.
ship, though It appears to have all
been in Colonel Grsyson's name.
1t Is claimed by the defendant that
Sprague was never the co-partner Of
Grayson; that he was q mere empioye
on a stipulated salary, aud that he
has no interest whatever In the earn.
ings of Colonel Graysou.
1t leaks out that there Ia a little |
romance In the case, according to the
defendants statement. 1t is claimed
that Colonel Grayson once took sick
and that he was treated kindly
during his illness by the wife Of A.
II. Sprague; that the big hearted
miner wanted to do something In re
turn for this kindeness, and gave
Sprague employment. He fitted out
offices, according to the story in
Baker City, and gave Sprague the
position of bookkeeper. He never
thought Of any trouble arising over
the matter, until suddenly the man
whom he claims to have picked up
and given good employment raised
himself up to the dignity Of a full
CO. partner of the Colonel and claimed
a half interest In all of his property
and earnings.
The Colonel says he will fight the
matter to the end, as he does not
care to be held mp by man whom
he had taken up as matter of graft
tude, aud who, after he had helped
to get a start In the world, has
turned to take from him bis own
property through the courts. Baker

Their daughter Eleanor and Count Joseph
Gizycki were married at noon by Rev.
Thomas S. Lee. rector of st. Matthews
Church. the bridegroom being Catholic.
Although the wedding followed closely
after the announcement of the engagement,
the preparations for it. while hastily made
surrounded the happy event with the appro-
pirate charms of flowers, the faces Of smil-
ing friends, a gathering of relatives and
the official presence of the representatives
of several foreign governments, to which
Count Gizycki now owes or has formerly
owed allegiance.
The Patterson residence, in neighbor-
hood where most of the modern fine
homes of the capital have been recently
erected, has features in its architecture
and decoration that make it thoroughly
distinctive. The central hallway on which
the rooms of the English basement open,
is lined with white marble, and a stair
way from either side leads up to the main
floor Tall bay trees near the mantel and
grouping of plants in the great stone
urn In the center always welcome
touches of living green. The main floor,
in addition to the spacious corridor in
the center, has three large apartments
library, ball room and dining room. With
this environment the interesting cere-
mony of today took place. Only white
and rose-colored flowers were used in the
festive touches. In the library, where the
ceremony took place, white flowers
decked more than half it's length. The
room is lined with carved oak book
shelves, the coloring of which Is rich and
dark, and the wall space showing above
them. as well as the hangings, is in wood
green
The yellow -veined marble mantel at the
extreme end of the room was the artistic
keynote of the whole floral effect. The
mantel shelf was banked with farF, yense
fern. AT one corner an asparagus vine

half framed the mirror, as il growing there.
and near Its roots uprose great bunch
OF long-stemmed white roses. AT the op
posite end Of the mantel, which is fully ten
feet across, white lilacs were similarly
massed Rose and white azaleas made
glowing spots of color at other points in
this and in the other rooms. When the we'd
ding breakfast was served SIX or eight per-
sons were seated at each of the flower
decked tables. Most of these were in the
dining room, but others were laid in the
corridor.
The bride was escorted to the scene of the
ceremony by her father and Count Gizycki
was attended by Count Itchy of the Aus
trian embassy. After the marriage and con-
brides dress was a very dainty one of
white liberty gauze, made over chiffon and
silk. A tulle veil was worn and loose
bunch of white roses carried. Besides the
parents of the bride, there were present
of her relatives Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Me-
dill Patterson, Mr.. and Mrs Joseph Medill
Mccormick. Mr.. Rutherford Mccormick,
all of Chicago. and Mr.. and Mrs. Raymond
Patterson of this city. Mr.. and Mrs Nor
man Williams of Chicago were among a
group of personal friends who came on
from Chicago for the event. Miss Roose-
welt. with other young associates Of the
bride, was present.
The Russian ambassador, the Countess
Cassini and all the members of the Rus
and Baroness Hengeln1uller and the menu
bers of the Austrian embassy and the
Swiss minister were also present
Count and Countess Gizycki left this aft
ernoon for New York, and will sail Satur-
day for France. Their first stop will be in
Paris, but they expect to be in Vienna for
the spring season. Later, when the gay
cites there wane, they Will proceed to Count
Gizyckis estate, which is located near
Staroconstantinove. in Russia.
Count Gizyck is the son of the Countess
Zumoyska who was lady-in-waiting to the
mother of the Emperor of Austria. Count
Gizycki was for ten years officer in the
Austrian army but for two years has been
subject of Russia
The youthful countess has been great
favorite here since the family took possess
sion of their home. Endowed with many
graces of person. she has had a liberal
education and the advantages of foreign
travel which make her charmingly rep
resentative American. Her accomplish
ments as horsewoman have been noted
wherever she has ridden. One of the ro-
mantle rumors anent her courtship by the
count is that 1t was their mutual love of
horses that caused their first interest in
each other. when they met in st. Peters,
burg last year, while the bride of today was
the guest of her uncle and aunt. the Ameri-
can ambassador to Russia and Mrs Nc
Cormfck. Her grandfather, Joseph Mediil.
was the proprietor OF the Chicago Tribune,

Defended Levee System.

During the consideration of the river and
harbor emergency appropriation bill in the
House of Representatives Tuesday Mr..
Humphreys of Mississippi. in the course of
his remarks. defended the levee system of
the Mississippi river, and said that those
levees were not only a protection to the
property in the Mississippi valley. but also
materially benefited the navigation of that
river. The report that he did not believe
in the system of levees did not correctly
represent his views.
