DOYLE ON CROSS-EXAMINATION
PlHlntlff In Mining Salt Exchanges
Words with Senator Pat
terson. The proceedings In the Doyle-Burnt suit
yesterday were confined to the cross-examination
of tho plaintiff, James D6ylc, by
Senator Patterson. Doyle was on the stand
tjie entire day, his cross-examination being
almost wholly us to hie testimony In the
suit of O'llaln, against Burns, given by
him beforo a referee, nnd which conBlcts
with tho evidence given by him In tho suit
at bar. Despite tho fact that the proceed
Ings were lacking tn special Interest, tho
courtroom was crowded all day.
8hortly beforo adjournment Senator Pnt
lerson began to cross-examine Doyle as to
certain affidavits which had been prepared
for uso In a suit brought ugulnst Doyle by
O'llalre, but which wero never used, as tho
case was settled out of court. Asked If he
had signed the afftdnvlts, Doyle said he had,
but on further questioning denied knowing
their contents. Ho said: "Why, you ought
to know what Is tn them, senator. You pre
pared them. You took hold of my case un
der Instructions from Burns. I had nothing
to do with It. I never paid you a dollar.
I signed the affidavits as I would have uny
other paper at that time, they being pre
pared by you. You told me they were all
right and I supposed thoy were."
Doyle's cross-examination will bo ro
mimed this morning.

Children,
A mother's devotion to her offspring was
pathetically demonstrated yesterday, when
Mrs, Emma Edwards voluntarily went to
Jail In order that her 16-ycnr-old son Kirk
might have the benefit of the ball which
shi had secured and thus obtaiu his re
lease from custody.
Young Edwards was arrested Wednesday
by Deputy Sheriffs Baker and Canning for
alleged contempt of court In connection
with the attempt of his mother to retake
forcible possession of the farm from which
she was evicted tinder decree of tho district
court. Tho lad was arraigned before Judg
Macy In tho district court yesterday morn
ing along with four others arrested In con
nection with tho samo affair. They wcro
bound over In $300 each to appear on thy
first day of the January term of court.
Young Edwards was unable to give ball and
was taken back to the county Jail.
Ever slnco the death of his father a few
months ago. young Kirk, although but 16
years of ngc, had acted as the head of tho
family, consisting of his mother and five
younger children. When tho trotiblo ensued
over the farm and tho family was evicted
Kirk, It Is alleged, shouldered a gun and
was ono of tho party which succeeded In
driving Caretaker Nenly off tho premises.
For this ho was arrested.
Jail Weakens Ilia Courage.
Ho had tho courage to shoulder a gun and
resist the process of law, but when, ho
realized that be was to be shut up behind
tho bars In the county Jail along with a
number of other prisoners, his fortitude
forsook him nnd tears flowed down his
cheeks. He asked his mother not to for
sake him and she, with a mother's love.
at once set about trying to securo ball for
her boy. In this she was unsuccessful, but
rather than leave him in Jail she decided to
go there herself by making arrangements
whereby the bond which she had furnished
for her appearance at the January term of
court should do service for him In place
of her. This arrangoment was effected and
the mother went Into tho Jail, while her
boy returned to look after and care for hla
flvo little brothers and slaters. It Is ex
pected that friends will come to the as
sistance of Mrs. Edwards and secure her
release" on ball today.
Roderick Vincent and Fred Huby, who
were arrested Wednesday with young Ed
wards, wore unable to furnish ball yester
day and were committed to the county Jail.
Jim Steele and Lon Jones, arrested by
Deputy Canning for their alleged connection
with the same affair, were brought from
Crescent vesterdav mornlnv. Thv fur.
nlshed bonds In $300 apiece for their ap
pearance at the January- term of court.
John Belt, who was arrested Tuesday night I
at the same time as Mrs. Edwards, Is still
In the county Jail, his friends having failed
to secure a bond for htm.
Fred Foot was brought In from Crescent
last night and lodged In the county Jail. He
Is charged with being Implicated In Mrs.
Edwards' attempt to retake possession of
tho farm.

WORKS OVERSEER OF POOR
Woman Forges n Single Letter
Thus Secures Transportation
for Family.
mrt
George T. Miller, overseer of the poor,
discovered yesterday that he had been
neatly worked by a woman whom a few
days ago he assisted by securing her trans
portation to St. Louis. The woman, with
two children, recently came to Council
Bluffs, a relative having promised to rare
for them. This the relative did for a short
time nnd then turned them over to the
ovorseer. The woman not being a resident
of the county was not entitled to relief,
but as she said she had friends In St.
Louis who would care for her, Mr. Miller
offered to give her 0 ticket on the under
standing that she would be able to secure
transportation for the children. She se
cured the transportation for the two chil
dren, but not In the manner that Mr. Mil
ler had looked for.
He gave a sealed order on a local ticket
office for her ticket to St. Louis, but when
he went yesterday to pay for It he was
surprised to be presented with a bill for
three tickets.
"Why, how Is this?" asked Mr. Miller of
the agent. "My order only callod for n
ticket."
The order was produced and It was dis
covered that the woman bad opened the
envelope and added the letter "s" after the
word ticket, making It read "tickets." The
agent said he called the woman's attention
to the fact that the "s" was written In
different colored pencil from .the rest of
the order and she explained It by saying
that the overseer on her calling his atten
tion to the fact that the order only called
for a ticket had made tho alteration hlm
solf. As the woman was accompanied by
her two children, tho agent supposed It
was Intended that they were all to go to
gether to St. Louis and accordingly Issued
tbreo tickets.

Dentlis from Smallpox,
Tho denths to date number thirty-four
The Inst death occurred Monday In the per
ron of n son of Black Cloud, aged 23. Sev
eral prominent Indians have succumbed to
the disease. John Wolf and his brother,
John Black Wolf, have both died, ns has
nlao Wc-Tc-Mah, Ca-Pa-Yo, the regent
chlof of the tribe, a son of old Nassau and
a nephew of tho late Mtick-E-Push-E-To, Is
also nmong the dead, as Is also Ktsh-a-Pee,
sistcr-ln-lnw of Muck-E-Push-E-To. One of
the Indians, a young man 23 years of age
fcon of Tom Jefferson, was burned to death
Ho was suffering with tho disease nnd was
lying asleep In his wickiup. He was rolling
about tho floor, near the fire, presumably to
rollevo the terrible Itching sensation, and
rolled Into the fire, where his clothing was
Ignited and he was dead before aid coutd
reach htm. George Morgan, secretary of the
trlbo nnd ono of tho smartest Indians of the
trlbo, la not expected to live, and his squaw
Is already dead. Jim Peters, an Interpreter,
Is alck, as is also his squaw and two of his
pappooses. One case outside the reserva
tion is now reported from Montour, where
Miss Vesta Allen, daughter of Mrs. Miner
Allen. Is sick. Her case la not considered
serious, however. The state board has not
determined what can be done In the mat
ter, but will cqnfer with the Indian com
mlssloncr.
Derelict Doctors.
Tho board today disposed of one trouble
some case which was brought before It from
Lako City. There has been smallpox In
that town during tho last year, about
twenty-five cases Inst November, forty-five
cases In March, five In July last and one
case still In quarantine. The mayor of the
city filed complaint against Dr. Pray for re
fusing to report, smallpox as auch. It ap
pears' that he and others Insisted on calling
It Cuban Itch or other names, but the city
health physician, Dr. McVey, diagnosed the
cases as smallpox. The matter has gone
to such lengths that there Is a bad feud in
the city nnd the town Is much distracted
over the quarrels of tho doctors. Tho
board of medical examiners today refused
to revoke Dr. Pray's certificate, but referred
the case to the State Board of Health for
action under the statutes which provide for
reporting smallpox or other contagious dls
eases. Several similar casea have been
considered by tho board.
Damage Case Appealed.
The damage caso of Thomas C. Carver
against the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroad
has been appealed to the state supreme
court. Carver was the mall carrier en
gaged In delivering mall to tho trains from
tho postofflco at Knlo, Coacbvllle and Otho,
in Webster county. Last fall ho was stand
ing on the depot platform ready to deliver
his mall sacks when the mall was dumped
out In front of him and ho was knocked
down nnd seriously Injured, He obtained
a Judgment of 11,100 against the railroad
company with Interest and now the rail
road company appeals.
Ttnllrond Men to Organise.
A meeting la to be held next Mon
day, at which the railroad superintendents
of the state will form an organization sim
ilar to that which has been formed In some
other states. The heads of divisions of
practically all the lines In Iowa will be
present.
Kransknpf I'lrnds tinllly.
Max Krausknpf, the defaulting assistant
postmasterof Marshalltown, pleaded guilty
this morning to the Indictment for failure
to deposit postoffice funds. He was short
something like $1,400 and fled to the coun
try. He wandered about, going to small
towns nnd nearly starved himself and when
found was almost crazed. His friends took
him In hand and are exerting all possible
presiure 'to prevent a heavy sentence. The
case was continued for sentence.
Mlllnril Hotel Case.
Judge McPhcrson. In the United States
district court, took under consideration to
day one feature of the litigation Involving
tho Millard hotel In Omaha. At Council
Bluffs he had entered an order that the
hotel bo sold under foreclosure proceedings
brought on behalf of P. J. Sorg, but provided
that It should not bo sold for less than
$50,000. Now attorneys for the company
seek a modification of the order. They have
asked the court that the $50,000 clause bs
eliminated, and that the purchaser be re
quired to carry out the uncompleted lease
hold under which tho hotel Is being oper
ated. The lease was for ninety-nine years
at a rental of $12,000 a yesr. The court
took the matter under advisement.
Position of Xtntc Board.
John Cownle, member of the State Board
of Control, declares that the criticism of
the board that it is trying to shut up the
county and private Insane asylums in order
to have a sufficient number of Insane per
sons to fill tho state hospitals and make
an excuse for large appropriations, Is all
wrong; that In fact tho greatest trouble
tho board has now Is to find places for the
Insane persons who belong In the state
hospitals. The last report of the board
shows that If the present rate on Increase
of the Insane continues a new hospital
will have to be built every year or thoss In
existence will have to have their capacity
enlarged equal to one new hospital. In
sane person are given paroles aa faat as
possible to make room for others and In
some of the hospitals cots are used In tne

KILLED BY THE FLOCKMASTER
Boh Itamser. Sheppherder, Dies After
Provoking quarrel nnd
Gun Play.
SHERIDAN. Wyo., Nov. 21. (Special.)
Bob Ramsey waa tho sheeoherdcr shot and
killed Monday night by Jim Field, flock
master. The killing appears to havo been
In telt-defensc.
Ramsey had been working for Field at
the lattcr's ranch south of town. Monday
they camo to Sheridan to get some medicine
and supplies for Field's family, who were
quarantined with smallpox. Ramsey asked
tor a settlement of wages due him nnd
there was some discussion over tho mat
ter, Ramsey claiming more money than
Field said was coming to him. The mat
ter was finally settled In an amicable man
ner, however, nnd Ramsey started out to
take In the town. Ho Is said to have filled
up on whisky and, meeting Field later that
night, started a quarrel. Field endeavored
to take tho drunken man back to tho
ranch and pacify him, but Ramsey would
not listen and. drawing his gun, fired sev
eral shots at Field. His aim was bad and
Field drew his gun and dropped his man
with the first shot.
Field rode to the ranch with tho medi
cine and returned and gave himself up.
The shooting was not witnessed and It
was not known that a man had been killed
until Field gave himself up yesterday morn
ing.
Jim Field came to Sheridan from the Pan
handle country In Texas and, while ho Is
noted as a crack shot and range rider, he
has never been known to quarrel with any
one. Ramsey was not a quarrelsome man
when not drinking and, so far as known,
the men had never bad any trouble previous
to last Monday. The dead mnn came from
South Dakota and has no relatives In this
country.

PARIS, Nov 2I.-Thc situation la th
mining centers of France Is again approach
Ing a climax. The next day or two will
reo n definite decision upon the question ef
1 n Ktncrnl strike. The result of the r
rent rcicreiicium, wnim. while It gave .1
majority In favor of the actual number who
voted, actually Indicated that a considers
blc number of the miners were either op
posed to a strike or were not enthusiastic.
Impelled the federation officials to put off .s.
strike declaration on the plea that It was
advisable to nwnlt the drrlflnn of the com
mittee of the Chamber of Deputies engaged
In studying the demands of the miners. It
now nppenrs likely tho commission will not
satisfy those demands,
Already n partial strike has broken out
In 11 coal field In the Department of the
Nord, where n general meeting of miners
voted yesterday In fax or of a strike and
sent a dispatch to M fotta, secretary of
the federation, calling on him to declare a
strike Immediately. M. r0tta declines tn
annum" tho responsibility and nnuounoea a
formal consultation tf the various dele
gates from the various mining centers, and
the publication of their declHon In the
course of n day or two.
In the meantime the committee of ths
Important Pas tic Calais district has pub
Hhcd 11 manifesto ngalnst the deelsr.tlnn
of n strike until the commission of the
Chamber nf Deputies shall have concluded
Its labors, nnd n similar feeling is evinced
In other districts.
Indications, therefore, go to show that
the strike. nen If declared, will be only
partial and not general, and that It Is
doonifd In ndvanro to failure.
Other dint In Ciimpptlllon.
The Belgian nnd British miners who have
been consulted hne refused to consent to
reduce the output, although they have
promised to give 1lt1ancl.1l aid. Cons,
quently the opponents of the strike predict
that the object of tho Flench strikers will
bo dnfented by the Invasion of foreign coal,
Including American.
The situation Is that 4 ,. 00 out of the 16,000
miners In the Department of the Nord have
struck nnd about 1.000 have gone on strike
In the adjacent pits of tfie Pas de Calais
district. The movement Is sproading In th
Department of the Nord, and It Is aaterted
that all tho miners there will cease work
tomorrow.
Thus fnr complete order prevails, but an
Imposing force of gendarmes, infantry and
cavalry has been billeted near by to con
tend with disorder.
