This la tho record of fatalities on tho
Northwestern railway la Council Bluff
yesterday.
Andrew J. Hendlce, while walking along
tho tracks of tho Nofthwcatern rallroal
near tho north end of tho switch yards,'
whs struck and Instantly killed shortly
after 8 o'clock yestorday morning by pas
aetiKcr train No. 71. llendleo had been
camping for the last three weeks at Hlg
lake, north of tho city, and was walking
Into town when he met his death. Ho
stepped off one track to avoid an outgoing
train and evidently did not notice the train
coming up behind him.
At tho Inquest yestorday afternoon the
Jury returned a verdict to the effect that
Heiidleo ramo to hla death by being struck
by (Jhlcugo Si Northwestern passenger train
No. 71. This rider was nttached to the
verdict: "In our opinion thn cause of hl
death was the train being run at an over
rate of speed In the city limits." Tho Jury
consisted of II. J. I'almcr, H. Stcvlck
and .Samuel II. Ford.
Tho principal witnesses at the Inquest
wore: O. S. Donxlman, conductor; K. V.
Stevens, engineer; Hert Hicks, fireman of
tho passenger train, and William Wells, n
colored man, who witnessed tho nccldent.
Tho testimony of thn train crew was to
the ellcct tlat thn train after passing tho
roundhouse was running about twenty ml
' an hour. Engineer Stevens testified tlin
ha saw Hendlee Rten from (he nnrllihntinrl
onlo tnn 8outi,hound track and that ho at
n.lco blew his whistle, but that llendleo did
not appear to pay any attention to It. He
said when ho noticed that llendleo f.'iiled to
tako warning by tho whistle he applied tho
air. but. was nimble (o stop the train bo
foro tho pilot struck tho man, throwing
til m to tho right of tho right of way. He
pulled up the train within about fiuO feet.
His testimony waa corroborated by Fire
man Hicks, who said his attention to the
man on the track was first called by the
onglncer blowing the whistle. He did not
think they were going fast enough to kill
nlm, nrlng the examination of the train
crew it was brought out that the train was
utile lato and that the fast mall was
only about eight miles behind It.
William Wells, an old colored mnn, who
witnessed the arcldent, gave It as his opin
ion thnt tho train waa scorching along at
fast rate of speed. Another wltnct-s tei-
tlfled that he thought' thn train was not
topped until It had gone at least l.oOfl
feet or more after striking Hendlce.

OLD EVIDENCE IS REVIVED
I'lrsl Two Hound lit llnyle-lliirus
.MlnlnK ""It Are Won by
IJo le.
The first two rounds In tho Doyle-Hurns
mining suit In the district court were de
cided yesterday In favor of James Doyle.
Judge Green overruled tho motion of the
defense to try certain Issues In tho action
In equity to tho court nnd also overruled
the objections of the defense to tho Intro
duction of documentary testimony of cer
tain witnesses given at tho previous trial.
In tho morning the Jury was excused
while Congressman Smith, for Hums, nnd
John N. Haldwln, for Doyle, argued the
motion to separate thn Issues Involved In
the suit and try some of them In the court
In equity. At the close of tho arguments
Judge Qreen promptly overruled the mo
tion on the ground that It was filed too
lain and that tho defenses urged by Hurns
as equltablo could bo mado Just as well
In tho law action before tho Jury. The ar
guments occupied the entire morning.
After tnn noon recess tho plaintiff began
to Introduce tho testimony of certain wit
nesses at tho previous trial by reading the
transcript from the reporter's notri. This
was objected to by the defense on the
grounds that the amendment tiled by Doyle
had changed the issues and made a new
case, nlthough It wus still docketed under
the old tltlo nnd therefore it did not come
under the provisions of the statute, holding
that evidence taken in a former trial could
bo used on the retrial of the caso. Judge
Green overruled tho objections and the re
mainder of tho afternoon sceslon was taken
up In reading the testimony of the follow
ing .vltnesses: R. 11. Maxwell of Cripple
Creek, J. C. Crlspen of Victor. C. Pren
tice of Cripple Creek, n. I. Jones of
Wntrous. N. M., nnd Georgo 0. Henderson
of Dunton.
This testimony related particularly to the
early history of the Crlpplo Creek mining
district and ell of It tended to show that
James V. Hurns. tho defendant, had un all
occasions admitted that James Doyle was
his partner In nil of their mining transac
tions. The testimony of Prentice was es
pecially strong on this point. Prentico was
prospecting In tho Crlpplo Creek district
nt tho samo time Doyle and Hurns were
there locating claims and In his evidence
he said that Hums had told him that ho
felt toward the plaintiff as he did toward
a younger brother and thnt ho and Doyle
were locating everything as equal partners.
The trial so far has been without any of
the passages-at-arnis between tho oppos
ing counsel as marked tho opening days of
tho former trial.

ccndlnry to burn the house occupied by
Mrs. Hce Nolan at 814 South Sixth street
nt nn enrly hour yesterday morning. Koro
sene was liberally used to start thn fire
and hut for the fortunate discovery of tho
blaze before it had made much headway
by one of Mrs. Nolan's boarders the house
would have burned to thn ground or at
least would hnvo been badly damaged. As
It was, tho ,hed kltchon at the rear of tho
house wns badly scorched nnd the picket
fence connecting with thn house In tho
front partly consumed.
Tho person who started tho flro poured
Kerosene over tho shed kltchon at the rear
and all along the picket fence In front.
Roth wcro fired at the samo time. One of
tho boarders, who rooms nt thn bnck of
tho house, noticed tho flames coming from
tho shed nnd with tho nsslstanco of other
member of the household soon had them
extinguished. The hlnzo along thn picket
fence burned Itself out after nbout halt

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINKS, Nov. 13. (Special.) At
torney General Mullan todny received
further Information In regard to the atti
tude of the court of claims toward the old
war claims ot the statu, Indicating thnt nt
least a portion of the claims of the state
of Iowa presented to the government somo
time ago will be secured without having
tho court of claims pass upon thorn, but
by direct action of thn auditing department
of tho treasury. Thn court ot clnlms has
had under consideration the clnlms from
Pennsylvania, Maine, New Hampshlro and
somo other states and theso claims have
stood on the same basis as the Iowa claims.
Tho chief question which Interested tho
Iowa people wo9 whethor tho court would
hold that tho claims were filed too lato. In
tho cases submitted the court has decided
that the statute' ot limitations did not run
against thorn. Tho court also decided that
the fact ot having received tho principal
on the claim without at thn same time pre
senting n claim for tho Intorest and Inci
dentals does not now bar a claim tor the
latter. Tho claim of Maine was for $212,678,
nnd that of Now Hampshlro for $712,353.
Tho claim of Pennsylvania Is for n Inrger
sum and Iowa also has n larger claim. It
Is bellovcd that under the latest rulings
of the court of clnlms tho Treasury depart
ment will feel warranted In paying about
$100,000 ot the Iowa claim without waiting
for action by the court of claims. In view
of the fact that promtnont ntnte officials
doubted whether there wns any chance of
securing any portion of the claim, this Is
quite n victory for those who have worked
up the cuso.
