It took tho Council Hluffs Jury in tho
famous nnd long-drawn-out mining suit of
James Doylo against James Ferguson1
Burns, president of thu Portland Oold Min
ing company of Colorado, Just twenty-four
hours to determine that Doylo was en
titled to recover from Hums the sum of
$4 10,022.7.1. Tho Jury, which retired Friday
afternoon nt 3:30 o'clock, brought In Its
verdict yesterday afternoon shortly beforo
1 o'clock. The amount of tho verdict Is a
little over half of what Doylo claimed.
The Jury found that ho was entitled to re
cover for tho stock Issued by tho Portland
company for tho Tldul Wnvo nnd Hobtnll
No, 2 claims, but not for the stock Issued
for tho Dovll's Own minu.
"I am satisfied, and would havo been had
tho amount been less, ns tho finding of tho
Jury Is n vindication for me, nlthough 1
was entitled to tho full sum that I sued
for," was tho statement tnndo by James
Doylo when tho finding of tho Jury was
announced.
Thu Jury, In answering the special Inter
rogatories, nvldently became somewhat
mixed ns to the meaning of Nos. I nnd ft
nnd the signed nnswers were not such ns
wero required. This led to considerable
discussion between counsel on both sided
nnd tho defeneo refused to consent to ac
cept the verdict In tho form submitted by
the Jurv with thu Incorrect nnswers to tho
special findings. Judge Oreen relnstructed
the Jury as to tho answers needed and tho
Jury retired and amended the answers In
conformity with thu Instructions. The ver
dict wnc then received nnd recorded, tho
defense filing its exception to tho entlro
proceedings, contending that tho court had
no right to relnstruct tho Jury.
Aiintver Mpeelnl InterriiKiit loiii.
In answering tho special interrogatories
tho Jury found that Doylo and Hums did
enter into an agreement February 2, 1S92,
to become, equal partners and sharo nnd
share allkn in all thel'. mining nnd pros
pecting ventures; that Doylo's Interest In
tho Professor Griibbs nnd Hums' Interest
In tho Portland were not ncqulrcd under
nn ngrccment made March 14, 1892, by
which Doyle traded to Hums a half Inter
est In tho Portlnnd for n half Interest in
the Professor Grubho; that Doylo first
mndo a demand for tho stock claimed by
him on February 2, 1S92; that the .market
value of tho stock when tho first demand
was made was $3.7(5; that $1.30, $1.20 and
45 cents had been paid In dividends on this
stock; that Doylo had no Interest In tho
Duvll's Own at tho tlmo of Its transfor to
tho Portland company; that ho did have nn
Interest In tho Tidal Wavo and Hobtall
No. 2 at the tlmo of their transfer to tho
Portlnnd company.
Tho nnswer to Interrogatory No. fi wns
amended to -ead 76 cents ns tho vnluo of
tho stock nt the tlmo of Doylo's demnnd.
Tho Jury, In answering this finding, at first
put lu $3 ns the vuluo of a certain portion
nnd 7fi cents as tho valuo of another portion,
tho hitter being tho stock given to F. O.
Peck.
In answering interrogatory No. ft what
nmnunt of dividends hnd been paid on each
share of stock at the tlmo Doylo made
his demand tho Jury gave tho amounts as
$1.30, $1.20 and 45 cents. This wns amended
to rend 15 cents on tho Hobtall and 35
cents each on tho Tidal Wavo nnd Dovll's
Own.
Siiy Tlil Will Not Affect Verdict.
Counsel for Doylo says that tho mistake
mado by tho Jury In answering tho special
interrogatories will not arfect tho verdict
nnd Mr. Haldwln was willing to accept tho
finding as It was first presented without
being nmended on relnstructlons from the
court.
At 10 o'clock in tho morning tho Jury
asked for further Instructions nnd wn3
brought into tho courtroom. It wanted to
know if it could Hud for tho plaintiff nn
any one or more of Iho claims without
bringing In a verdict on all of them. Tho
court Informed It that it could. This wns
taken to lndlcnto that tho Jury hnd de
cided on n verdict for tho plaintiff, but
had not settled ns to the nmount. The
testimony In tho enso showed that Doyle
had done but little, If any, work on the
Devil's Own claim nnd It Is supposed the
Jury on this nccount refused to recognize
his claim for tho stock Issued for this
property. Tho evidence showed that ho did
considerable nork on tho other two claims.
Cnse In n It eeiird-JIreaker.
Aside from tho eminent counsol engaged
on both sides, tho trial has attracted more
than tho usunl general Interest and tho
courtroom hns been crowded dally, standing
room being nt n premium on tho dnys when
counsel made their closing arguments to
the Jury. Tho case has been a record
breakur In this section of the couutry for
tho leugth of tlmo consumed In Its trial,
six weekB of the term having been occu
pied to the prnctlcal exclusion of all other
business, Tho expenses havo been unusu
ally large, as both sides havo had an army
of witnesses hero from Colorado nnd other
points, A notnblo feature of the great
case and tho ono of particular Interest
locally was tho powerful and dramatically
eloquent closing argument mndo by Mr. J.
N. Haldwln. Even counsel on the other
side were forced to ndmlt It wns ono of
tho most brilliant nnd forcible nrguments
they had overheard presented to a Jury.
Mr. Haldwln was heartily congratulated last
evening on tho outcome of tho action.
C. J. Hughes, counsel for Doylo, left for
his homo In Denver Friday, as did Gov
ernor Thomns. Senator Patterson will
leave for Colorado today. Mr. Thomas Is
expected hero next week to argue tho mo
tion for a new trial.
Mure Tlinii Half Ills Clnlin,
Tho verdict gives Doyle a little moro
then half of what ho clulmcd In his
nmended petition, filed a few days ngo, Ho
claimed ns his sharo In the proceeds of
tho snlo of the three claims Involved, stock
In tho Portland company now held by
Hums, as follows: For tho Hobtnll No. 2,
101,625 Bhares; for the Tidal Wavo and
Devil's Own combined, 127.67S shares; total,
232,303 Bhares. The present valuo of this
stock Is $3 a share, ranking tho valuo of
tho stock claimed $696,909. In addition to
this ho nsked dividends as follows: On
tho Hobtall No.' 2, $1,30 a shnro; on thn
Tidal Wnvo nnd Devil's Own, $1.20 n share,
making a total of dividends of $279,226.10
nsked of Hums, This made n grand total
of $970,t35.lO claimed of Hums.
The suit was brought in February. 189S.
service being had on Hums while attending
a meeting of stockholders of tho company
lu this city. Hums assailed tho Jurisdic
tion of tho Iowa court and In Colorado se
cured an Injunction restraining Doyle from
prosecuting the nctlon In lown. Doyle se
cured a Judgment by default in November,
1H9S, for $717,025. Doyle returned to Colo
rndo nnd was committed to jail for eight
months for contempt of court.' He was
then mayor of Victor, where ho wai Im
prisoned, having been elected unanimously,
July 29, 1S99, Judge Thornell, on tho show
lng mado by Hums, set nslde tho Judgment
by default, conditionally that Hums should
dismiss all proceedings against Doylo In
Colorado and submit to the prosecution of
the suit In this stntc. This was done and
Doylo was released from Jail. After ono
delay and another the trial wns commenced
Inst October, but after a week or moro
had been consumed in taking testimony the
plaintiff nmended his petition, setting up
new Issues, ns alleged by tho defense, nnd
tho further trial was continued to Novem
ber 12, when the ense wns recommenced be
fore a new Jury nnd Judge Green lu place
of Judge Macy, who presided in October.
The case has accordingly occupied six
weeks. ,
In the event of a new trial being denied
It wns stated Inst evening that It would
be appealed.

MICHIGAN MEN DISAPPOINT
I'n in oils Foot Hull 'lea in I'm tlx to Ar
rive In Oiniilin When Ex
pected, Tho University of Michigan foot ball
team did not come through Omaha on Its
way to California Inst night as had been
expected. A sturdy band of loyal Ann
Arbor alumni In Omaha wns at Union sta
tion to meet Nnrthwestrn train No. B, duo
hero at 11:10, but the enthusiastic former
Wolverines wero doomed to disappoint
ment. The train did not arrive till mid
night, nnd then tho phenomenal team that
has made 512 points In n single Benson of
foot ball did not materialize.
Mlrhlgnn Is to play Stanford university
nt Pasadena, Cal., New Year's day, nnd
tho team left Ann Arbor Friday for Chi
cago, where tho men stopped off. Thny
were scheduled lo leave the Windy city
Saturday morning and this plan was her
alded by tho newspapers far and wide. The
Northwestern-Union Pacific Overland routo
was tho one chosen, so the fact thnt the
team did not pass through Omaha makes
It plain that tho gridiron warriors remained
over in Chlcugo longer than they expected.
They havo time and to spnro heforo the

Tho change In plans, however, was a
soro disappointment to the Michigan men
who awaited the team here. Coneh vucK

tiirNtiuiiN Present,
Saturday was sentence day In criminal
court and Judge Baker relieved the a v.
pctisu of fourteen convicted men and bos
by handing out sentences ranging from rN
days to seventeen years and allowing ono i
go free.
Ed Morgal, convicted of criminally n
sntiltlng llttlo Mary Marks, received tue
heaviest sentence and will spend tho tu
seventeen years at hard iRbor lu the mui
penitentiary- Morgal feigned In.-aim
Alien arraigned, ns he has done for socr,u
weeks past In thu county Jail, but the
Judge refused to allow a piece of mttng
ami poor acting at that, to soften his fen
lugs. Heforo passing sentenco Julg
Haker snld that the prisoner had In- n
watched by an Insanity expert for the pa t
three weeks and thero wns no doubt ttini
ho was merely shnmmlng.
Judge linker dwelt upon thu heinous .i
of tho crlmo nnd clmracturlzed It as brii,i
Inferior to murder only. He said that the
enso was ono of the most revolting that
had ever come under his notice. "1 ha l
determined to give you fifteen i cars. Mei
gal," said his honor, "but tho moro 1 thliiu
of your crime the more I am convinced f
tho inadeqitnteness of the punishment pro
vhled by law. Twenty years Is the limit
nud I um not sure that II ought not lo be
for life. Your feigning of Insanity has
not helped you and 1 will chuligo the mu
tencu from fifteen to seventeen years."
I.niii tinci Free.
Tho attorney for George R. Lane, con
vlcttd of forgury, said that his client was
feeble-minded and had a guardian back lu
Indlaun.
"Did you dlschargo your guardian before
you came to Nebraska?" queried tho Judge
"No, not cxiietly," answered I'ini. "I
Just came away."
Hu then explained that tho guardian wns
appointed nfter he had been left a fortuns
by nn uncle who died In London.
"O, I see," snld tho- Judgu. "Tho gunr-
dlnn wns appointed to help spend your
money nnil not becnuso you were feeble
minded."
After n further discussion Judgo Haker
ordered the caso nolle prosscd.
Frank Flala was up to receive ncntcncu
on a conviction for daylight breaking ami
entering. When nsked what hu had done,
Flala replied:
"I went Into a vacant house when the
window wns open."
"And you pleaded guilty at your trial?
rejoined tho Judge. "Well, you are n
chump. I'll glvo you two years to re
form." James Gallagher, who had been convicted
of a similar offense, snld that he was drunk
nt tho tlmo nnd did not know what ho wns
doing.
'You know what you nre up ngnlnst now.
don't you?" rejoined Judgo Haker. "In
view of your youth I'll let an off with the
minimum sentence, one year."
George Edwards, a ulce-lnnklng you i -fellow
who pinched n dlamund In a mo
professional manner from a South Oiual'i
man during Inst summer's street fair, put
up a good front.
"I renltzo, your honor, that this 1 Iho
turning point In my young life, nnd If you'll
only be lenient with me I promise to re
form and be n good boy hereafter."
Tho Judge passed n sentence of one year
nnd six months, which tho youth objected
to on the ground that tho time ho had
strved In the county Jail should be crodlto.!
on tho sentence. His logic wns iso convinc
ing thnt tho term was i educed to ono yur
nnd threo months.
Ton Yenri for Clot er.
Olinrlcii (Hover was convicted of highway
robbery. In committing the crime hu used
his victim, nn old man, very roughly.
"Your crime," said his honor, "narrowly
escaped being murder, nnd had It not been
for tho strong nnd vigorous constitution of
tho old man you would be hero to receive
sentence for that crime. I havo received
numerous letters from pcoplo In your old
Missouri home which spenk well of you.
Your poor old mother has pleaded with me,
but tho tlmo for that Is past. You should
havo thought of that mother before you
adopted highway robbery im n profession.
The number of footpads Is on thn lncrenso
nnd tho situation calls for a vigorous ad
ministration of tho law. Ten years nt hard
labor."
Theodoro McManlno, who wos Glover's
partner In crime, received twelve years be
causo ho perjured himself In trying to so
curo Glover's releiisn.
Fred Slegemann, who shot Jniseph Mnly,
former city clerk of South Omaha, was con
victed of shooting with Intent to kill. Ills
attoni'-ys moved for a new trial, but Judgo
Haker overruled the motion nnd sentenced
Slegemann to ono yenr.
The following minor sentences were nlso
pronounced: William Kehl, burglary, flvo
years; Fred Hill, burglary, two yenrs; Wil
