Doyle Ileconiea n Defendant, James Doyle, plaintiff In the big mining suit now on trial In tho district court, was mado defendant yesterday In a suit brought by T. A, Harding of Guthrie county, this state, In which he asks that Doyle bo com pelled to make an accounting In connection with n certain mining transaction In which Harding claims he and Doyle wero1 Inter cited. Service was obtained upon Doyle ytsterday morning while In the cotirthouse attending the trial of his suit against Burns. In his petition Harding alleges that on or about April 17, 1897, he obtained a one eighth Interest In a gold mlno known ns tho Little May, In the Crlpplo Creek dis trict, In what Is now Teller county, Colo rado, from one Thomas Burke, by agreeing to pay Burke's share of the Indebtedness against the mine, which aggregated at that tlmo $12,705.26. According to Harding, Doyle and Burke owned a one-half Interest In this mine and In some manner unknown to him this Indebtedness had become chargeable to them, they being obligated, so he claims, to pay half nnd half alike. Harding asserts that Doyle acknowledged his, Harding's, agreement with Burke and agreed that If Harding would place In his hands the amount of Burko's share of the Indebtedness he would contribute a like sum and pay off the Indebtedness against the mine. Harding claims ho placed the S6.397.63 with Doyle, but not being a resident of Colorado, was unable to give the payment of the debts against the mine his personal supervision and entrusted It to Doyle. Hardin: asserts that Doyle not only failed to contribute anything toward the payment of the indebtedness, but also con verted to his own tmo tho $6,D97.C3 ho ha' paid. As n consequence the debts ngalns the mine passed Into Judgment and execu Hon And Harding lost bis Interest In th mine. lie asks that Doylo be required to pro duce his hooks and papers relating to tho mine and that he have Judgment for tho $C,397.63 ndvanced by him to Doyle, with Interest nt 8 per ocnt per annum. No progress was made with tho Doyle Burns suit yesterday and Judge Macv this morning will decide whether tho motion of tho defense for a continuance shall be sus tained or whether simply n postponement shall he had for n sufficient length of tlmo to enable Burns to prepare his defense to the amended petition of Doyle.

STANDS BY A FORMER PRECEDENT llmkcmnn Wlmhcr Win ,wnr1ed t l,.Vl(l, tint Thla A tit omit In Held to He Exreaalvc nnd It la Ordered Cut Down. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Oct. 10.-(Spcelal.) Tho Iowa supremo court today fixed tho limit of value that may be placed on a man's leg at JS.000. J. R. Wimbor, a brakcraan on tho Iowa Central railway, had his leg crushed In an nccldent and amputation was necessary. Tho Jury in the case found the railroad company responsible and gave Wlmbcr a verdict for $14,500 for tho loss of his leg. Wlmber was 38 years old and in good health at tho time of tho acci dent. In a similar case some years ago the Iowa supreme court decided that a verdict for $12,000 was excessive and that it should bo cut down to J8.000. In the case today the court sustains tho verdict In all matters, save that It was regarded as ex cessive, and directs that II be cut down to $8,000, In lino with the former decision, which Is thus taken to be a precedent, nnd If tho defendant refuses to accept this sura the caso must go back for new trial. The court thus, for tho first time, adopts a rule In regard to personal damage suits and fixes a limit of value on a man's leg lost In accident.

Among other things Colonel Henderson enld: Tho proposition Is before tho country tn cut a pnftsnge way across tho Isthmus con necting North nnd South America. I have not a well dellned opinion ns between the two routes. The, settlement should Del ng to the engineers, but that n route ahou.d bu mado I have no doubt. It will bo cconomv end that, too, In tho near future. It will build up our commerce. It will thtnw North and South America practically into ono country.

Not n word In thnt splendid oration voices nn abandonment of the protective" policy. In his speech he favors reciprocal treaties, but only In ac cordance with wisdom nnd a patriotic re gard for the producing Interests of our own country. This la In harmony with re publican policies. It should bo carefully considered, whether revision can bo wifely made before It Is known what mny be ac complished by these treaties.
