An interest- Ing legal case, and one involving $100, ,000 In money and mining property, came ip In the Circuit Court yesterday before -Judge Alkln. The suit Is one by Colonel John Temple Grayson against the Baby McKee Gold Mining Company, the Baby McKee Consolidated Oold Mines .

He :! was and Is yet the largest stockholder In the companies, w i The companies were Incorporated un der the laws of Oregon, which provide, tha a majority of the directors shall be citizens of the 'state, Not. one of the directors) " were living In Oregon. Last summer Colonel Orayson resigned the management and the foreign directors . senl-Mc O. Tpwnsend to take charge of the 'properties. Mr. Townsend s first . Step wasktO' reorganize the companies under-the laws of the territory of Arl- Bona. Ue-then relocated and renamed the claims, calling the Baby McKee the ' Mew Era and giving a new appellation to all the other claims of the two com panies. ' The relocation of the claims put matters in such a shape that should . there be such S desire on the part of the .new manager. Col. Grayson and the - Other stockholders could be 'frozen ouf. , , It waa to protect his own and the In terests of the other stockholders, that Colonel Grayson brought this suit. Col onel Grayson's attorneys are Hon. John L. Rand and Charles F. Hyde, Th de- - fedant companies are represented by Charles 11. Chance of Sumpter. MELDRUM TO THE PEN.

Assaulted by Thugs Last Saturday and Lay in a Stupor for Three Days. With a deadly weapon, evidently a sandbag or a Liackjai k. a thug or thugs dealt what may yet prove to be a fatal blow to T. C. Nash at midnight last Saturday. .The unfortunate young man. who lives beyond Piedmont Junction, was walking to his home, having Just missed connections with the motor. Mr. Nash had been over to the West Side on business and had been delayed until "quite late' in 'returning home. He boarded .the .last car on ilie Upper Al blna line, but through some delay on the rojwl' mlased the motor car which con nects at the Junction. There was but one thing to do, that being to walk the entire distance to his home. This he quickly determined to do. HIGHWAYMEN'S NIGHT. The night was dark and the sir plere lng cold. It was Just buiIi night us highwaymen adellght . In. Mr. Nash started out on a brisk walk, but had not progressed very far before he wu struck on the top of his head a series of terrible . blows. From this point all must be conjec ture, except to the thugs. Not a thing 1 does Mr, iSash remember concerning hi awful experience, except that he was as saulted shortly after leaving the Junc tion. From that time until yesterday noon he lay unconscious at .,1s home and he has no memory of what trans pired. He was discovered lying beside the track Sunday morning by Thomas Monahan, conductor on the St. Johns motor. As the night- was very cold, and Mr: Nash had been exposed to the elements for atout seven hours, he was all but dead. FEARFULLY BRUISED. Er. .nlnation revealed many bruises about the head and fbee, all of which must have been Inflicted by awful blows with a deadly weapon. The victim was taken to his home, where he Is now under the care of Dr. E. Hossitet t,The .physician found the entire body .iiUrab with the cold, and It seemed almost a miracle that death did not result be fore he was found by the conductor of the motor car. The terrible blows that were Inflicted, together with the ex posure, was enough to khi any person not possessed of extraordinary physical endurance. ROBBERY THE MOTIVE. Robbery was evidently the motive of the man or men who committed the as sault, but if that was the purpose, they were much disappointed, as Mr. Nash had no cash valuables with him that night. From the' number of cuts and bruises i his face, it Is evident that the unfortunate victim was pummelled in a most brutal manner after having been felled to the ground. Doubtless the thug or thugs, after finding he had no mqney or other valuables, took revenge by beat ing him fearfully with a bludgeon. There are many scalp wounds, and the face Is also badly cut and bruised. It will be many weeks before an of the wounds heal and the young man is able to go about as before the assault. In fact, the victim will likely carry scars from the encounter all his life. The affair was promptly reporiea xo i the police, bu up to date there have been no arests. It Is rumored that other similar, though less serious, assaults have been made on citizens of the East Bide. A GLOBE OBSEBTEB. (New York Times.) Ed Mott. the faithful Pike County chronicler and relater of "bare facts.' had been entertaining a party of friends with number of hts thrilling expert-" enceR among the wilds of Pennsylvania. When he went out one remarked that he evidently knew what he was talking about, and that he must be a great stu dent and a very close observer. "Yes." responded Shayne. thf furrier, "there is hardly a day passes without his coming into our establishment to study the habits of the stuffed bear." TWO-MU UTB B0VT8 TM CHIOAOO.

K. ine uerman Methodists field a meeting nt their church on Fifteenth and Hoyt streets last liight to discuss the possibil ity of establishing u Deaconess Home In Portland. Rev. H. F. Iange of Connell, Wash., us a. member of the central cora mlttte. was present to advls. He gavs a little sketch of the work from its ori gin at Kalserswerth. Germany, 30 years ago. It was u tiny affair at flrat, but has grown until there are 10,000 deaconesses and an annual income of several million dollars. There are others almost us large In Germany and this country. The last established was at I,og Angeles, Cal. The idea is a home for mission work. Nurses are always ready for a call, schools fur the poor and shelters for the unfortunate all grow about such an In stitution when It Is once firmly planted. After listening to the address the audi ence felt I'ortla'nd must have something of the Kind, flans are under way now but can hardly mature before late spring or early summer. CURRENT EENTS CLUB. Possibly out of regard for the busy Christinas workers the program at the Current Exents Club last night was very short. Every number was given a closer attention, perhaps, certainly the selec tions seemed excellent. Mrs. W. Wj-nn Johnson truly said in the. opening lines of her paper, "'Recent "H'.conomk Literature that no subject Is understood so little and thought to be understood so well as economics. She called the neutral :osltion of the mid dle class In the gTeat labor and capital controversy, the salvation of society. From their vantage ground they sea above and below and catch the right on both sides. Mrs. Johnson felt th labor organizations found the excuse for their existence' in the lack of soul In the trusts and corporations. The laboring man must work out his own balvatlon. Taking Car negie's "Gospel of Wealth" as a begin ning, Bhe ran through a number of the later economic publications. .miss i.a i-sarro preceaeu ner with a reading, Lowell's c-leva Satire, ''The Pi Miaa A.

She touched lightly on standard works before turning to the newer writers. It seems American books are beln,j eagerly read In Europe. "Ben Hur" is sweeping the continent as it did in this country when first published, and Aldrlch's story of the "Had Boy" Is one of the standards, one might My. in tho libraries of the French schools. In speak ing of tho historians. Mrs. La Barre gave a high rdace to Mrs. Dye and her old and new chronicles of Oregon. President "Teddy's" "War of 1S12" and "Winning of the West," as well as Andrew Lang's Bcotch history, were mentioned. In point ing out some items of interest In the popular works of tlctlon, Mary McLane was called an accidental humorist. Miss Walton had such a severe cold It was Impossible for her to attempt the dif licult "Hess" opposite her name on the program. Instead she gave a clever inter pretation of Dorothy Dlx in "Higher Cul ture In Dixie." Mrs. W. Fisher's open ing piano solo. "Walter's Prise Song," was the only musical number. BOARD MEETING. The North Pacific Board met in tho parlors of the First 1'resbyterian Church yesterday for their monthly meeting. When the roll was called ladies from Cal vary, Westminster, the Fourth, St. John's and the First Churches were In their places. The feature of the meeting was the address of Mrs. Paul, herself a na tlve Alaskan girl, who has grown into a cultured teacher among her people. Her quaint expressions r he only sugges tions of her birth. She told an amusinp story of a mis sionary wedding. Affairs of the kind seem the same the world over. The groom was a reformed Mormon fully TO years old, but he was so happy, feel like young man," and the Indian bride wore a white silk dress with a shawl for the usual veil, while the guests told funny stories to make every one lsugh. Mr. Keck happened to be In Portland yesterday and he atteaded the meeting; to give on account of his work in 8h Training School at Sitka. Mrs. Marga ret Wilson Is just back from San. Fran cisco, and she told of her day at the Occidental Board. In the afternoon the 27 Jlttle Chinese girls -in the Rescue Home came in to repeat verses for the visitors.

Potatoes au gratin, sally luns and baked ice cream were what the ladies expected. But any recipe Miss Voorhees gives is always good, so it was accepted as an unexpected gift of the Gods. Later all was made clear. When tho cake was perfectly cold the ice was spread over the top and a final layer of white of eggs poured over that. Even when slipped into a hot oven for ten minutes the cream was as solid as ever. Eggs are a non-conductor of heat, and tho cake, of course, didn't warm up in so short a time. It looked as appetizing as it afterward proved, when it came out of the oven decked with brown points. A new way to serve potatoes is always accepiL ..Au gratia proved to be both simple and delicious. It rather belongs to the scalloped potato family. In bak ing the eggs. Miss Voorhees suggested saving the inside skin. This will settle the coffee and save quite an item of ex pense in these egg famine days. The next meeting will come in the first week of January. Y. W. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. Board met Tuesday morning in the association rooms. The meetings are full of importance these days, in view of the move soon to be made to their new Quarters on Sixth street.

(From the Pittsburg Times.) On the question of equipping the Na tional Guards of the various states so that they may be fit for aotiva servlcs Secretary Root is Insistent. He would like to see the citizen soldiery, given tho regular army weapons with smokeless powder. It Is rather, a laughing mat ter that this nation, which is ahead in all sorts of inventions, should permit Its volunteers to practice with a weapon little better than the one used at the end of the Civil War, over thirty years ago. In England, where the volunteeres are much similar to the militia of this country, the citizen fighting men al ways havB the same weapon as that used by the regulars. The expense would be considerable, but It is a case of the stitch in tlma that .i.. m, National Guards, st the outbreak of the Spanish War, when volunteers wers called for, were in woeful condition to go into th 'field for sctlVA only herculean efforts put a few of the mnssafnunviia- regiments m-such Bhapa that thv 'rAHld h ion t vitk w- - - - " - me urst advance to Cuba.

Robert W; Chambers, author of "Cardi gan" and "The Mald-at-Arms," is, as is well Vnown, a thorough sportsman, as well as novelist. He returned home the other day from a hunting trip, and, be ing in the mood to write, he sat at his desk without ridding himself of his hunt ing outfit, and began pulling the burrs from the tall of his Blue Belton setter. As he removed the burrs and incident ally considerable hair from the setter's tall, he dropped the bundhes into the waste-paper basket.
