Attracted Attention.
The spotlight rays shown in a new
light yesterday on the Swiss maidens
at fair.
Telling of how lie had been the vic

judices and finally how he and Her
man i oung had arranged to send Ce
cile I Jielhelman ami i 1 11 Ida Kraner,
to San Jose, aClif., under an agree
tieiii that the girls would not cause
.hem any futher trouble in the matter
Kasper Wirt, yesterday declared he
. nd uis partner, to the misplaced love
affair, were glad to get rid of tin
;;ii I-. and I hat they wouldn't marry
i.it'iii now under any circumstances.
Wirt declared that tiny had done
all 1 hey could lo reconcile the girl-
at lii si, that they had heui as cour
teous to lin-iii and had made ilu-m as
cuiutuiiai.lc as pos.-ible. Ik dcclaud
mat ti y were willing lo do what was
more than right, in offering to pay

cd to them, that Ihey would
ry the girls under any condition now.
He told of how the compromise was
effected, caying lie didn't begrudge
losing the money and was glad of the
termination, of the affair that has at
tracted considerable attention and
that has been termed an uncompleted
romance. Wirt (said he was not at
all discouraged, however. "I will con
tinue to keep on the lookout," he said
in broken Knglish, "for the right
girl. I won't send away for one but
I think I can find her in America."
He deplored the mail order marriage
system and intimated that the only
way to secure a wife in his opinion was
to meet her personally, "not py der
letter."
Leaving this morning at 11:30
o'clock on the Shasta Limited, with
Wirtz and Young, bidding them adieu.
Misses Uiethelman and K.rancr, arc
on their way to San Jose, on tickets
purchased by the two men and with
$50 each supplied by the jilted, for ex
penses, where an uncle of Miss Die
thelman lives. Wirtz explained his
and Young's presence at the depot ; j
"Vc vanted to see that they started'
in the ridt direction." Wirtz said
Miss Diethelman received an unfa-;
vorable letter from her uncle, but that
he consented to give her a position as
domestic in his home while Miss Kra
ner will gf) to one of his friends home
to work similarly. He said that the
girls told him that they would work
to get money on which to return home
in the spring. Thus the affair bar,
been compromised finally as far as
the men are concerned as Wirtz said
he and Young had an attorney draw
up a written agreement that the rrirls
signed, which was to the effect that
they would n cause the men any
further trouble.
I-'.nroute from the Southern pnrt of
the state lo Salem, Monday. Ralph
I. liouhain, a federal immigration
officer, stopped off in Albany to in
vestigate the ease at the instance of
the governor. It cosl the men cx
actly $70 am'cce lo send the irirls to
Sau Jose and $140 and $ll apiece
lo bring them to America. The two
have paid out the aggregate sum of
S-170, not to say anything of incidental
expenses.
That both he and Young have !er;i
the victim-, of unfavorable gossip at
the hands of neighbors, which preju
diced the girls against them, was the
statement made by Wirtz. lie -aid
ihe t-'irls were perfectly agreeable to
marriage upon t heir arrival and thai
it was not until -.ever.il day- after, that
they changed their views. Iuves:iga-
