Will Practically Sonaalt Doyle In the Fsmsss Portland field Miss Mtls-atloa. James F. Burns, president of the Tort land Gold Mining company of Colorado, defendant In the famous suit brought against him by James Doyle and In which the latter at the former trlnl securel a verdict for over H50,V, now seeks a heir. Ing In equity on ctrtain points In the case which If decided In his favor will practi cally nonsuit Doyle and to all Intenta and purposes dispose of the law action, the second trial of which Tins been set for the January term of the district court In this city. Testerday counsel for Burns filed an amended and substitute answer, together with a cross-petition. The amended ans wer contains nothing which was not in the former one, but the croes-petitlon places an entirely new phase on the ense. In the cross-petition It Is claimed on be half tt Burns that Doyle's suit easts a cloud and slander upon the title to the stock held by Burns and affects his ability to sell or use the same. It Is therefore asked on bhiUt of Burni that his title to the stock In controversy be qirleted and that this be tried in equity. After citing the history of how he (Burns) and Doyle came to be associated In the mining business It Is alleged In the cross-petition that Doyle abandoned his Interest In the claims, while on the other hand Burns expended much ' time and money In developing them and making them the valuable property they subse quently became. Doyle's Interest In the stock 'in contro versy, It is claimed. Is only an equitable one, as both title and possession have al ways been held by Burns or his assigns. It Is further contended thRt no settlement or. accounting was ever had between Doyle and Burns and that Doyla had never of fered to pay Burns any share of the sums expended by the latter In developing the property and that therefore It would be Inequitable to permit Doyle to proceed to the trial of the main action until his al leged Interest shall have been established In an equity proceeding and until a full accounting shall have been had between the two parties. Accompanying the cross-petition Is a motion to have this Issue tried In equity, which bears tho names of Burns' counsel as follows: United States Senator T. M. Patterson, Judge A. T. Ounnell, former Governor C. S. Thomas, all of Colorado, Congressman Walter I. Smith, Dillon L. Ross and Saunders & Stuart, all of this city. Real Kstste Transfers.

HARRY BERX9TKIS PLEADS GULTY Admits HtIhst Received Property Stolen from Mrs. Metcalfe. Harry Bernstein, the Omaha pawnbroker, entered a plea of guilty last evening before Judge Green In the district court of re ceiving and concealing the Jewelry stolen from Mrs. Emma Metcalfe, the keeper of a resort In the northern part of this city, January 19, 1903. The understanding be tween Bernstein and Assistant County At torney Hess, according to the statement of the latter lost evening, Is that in. considers tlon of his plea of guilty that Bernstein is to escape Imprisonment, but Is to be fined the maximum penalty, namely, $600. This fine, It Is understood, Bernstein. Is pre pared to pay the moment the court for mally passes sentence. Bernstein was Indicted by the grand Jury on September 17 on two charges, the first of receiving and concealing the Jewelry, valued at $1,800, stolen from Mrs. Metcalfe, and, second, for receiving and concealing twenty revolvers of the average value of $12, stolen from the establishment of the Wright-Wllhelmy company in Omaha on December SI, 1903. He was arrested five days later in his place of business In Omaha and hustled to this side of the river by Bherlff Canning and Deputy McCaffery. He promptly gave ball In the sum of $1,600, the bond being furnished by Julius Katelman of this city. The case against him In which he .was Indicted on the charge of receiving the re volvers stolen from the Wright-Wilhelmy company was dismissed last evening. This action waa taken by Assistant County At torney Hess, it Is understood, In considera tion of Bernstein pleading guilty to the other charge. Mrs. Minnie Dunn, sister of Mrs. Emma Metcalfe, was Indicted on the charge of stealing the Jewelry and she Is at present out on ball pending her trial. Bernstein, according to the evidence before the grand Jury, was charged with coming to this side of the river, where he bargained for the purchase of the stolen Jewelry, for which he Is said to have paid $15. While there was nothing said yesterday at the time that Bernstein entered his plea of guilty about the stolen Jewelry being returned to Mrs. Metcalfe, Assistant County Attorney Heea stated last evening that he had been given to understand that Mrs. Metcalfe had been "settled" with. Whether this "settlement" with Mrs. Met. calfe meant the withdrawal of the charge against her sister, Mr Minnie Dunn, Mr. Hess said he was not prepared to state last night. . . Mahlon Bethers, who threatened to shoot Detective Callaghan and other officers who went to his house to arrest htm for the theft of coal from Illinois Central cars, was found guilty yesterday by a Jury In the district court.

CHiCAOO, Dec. 16. A notable decision was handed down today by the branch appelato court in the unique litigation be tween Edward H. Comer of Chicago and Miss Tflary McDonnell of Denver over pos session of the young woman's share In the estate of her father, Anthony P. McDon nell. By a series of suits In attachment Coiner succeeded In regaining possession of the legacy left Miss McDonnell In spite of an order of the probate court to deliver the money to her. Wearied of efforts to force Cqmer to de liver her money to her, It Is asserted, Miss McDonnell called the executor a thief and defaulter and declared he had never earned an honest dollar In his life. In retaliation Comer started suit for slander and In his own behalf caused an attachment to be Issued against himself for Miss McDon nell's money. Xs a result the legacy has been tied up for four years. In the opinion handed down today sus taining a Jury In the circuit court, which believed Miss McDonnell's denials of the slander charges, Judge Freeman of the branch nppellate court reviews the entire remarkable record of tbe litigation. "No reason appears why Comer did not make the payments of the legacy to Miss McDonnell and obtain his voucher through any reliable bank," said Judge Freeman. "Undisputed evidence shows that Comer took an active interest In procuring at tachments against the money In his bands In suits. It Is claimed, he was chiefly In strumental In having brought against her. . "Having been unable to get her money, Miss McDonnell, with Indignation which appears to have had a righteous founda tion, expressed herself somewhat forcibly perhaps as to his conduct. We find no material error In the record. The Judg ment Is right and it will be affirmed." CARNEGIE JOINS FRANKLIN Will Give Over Half Million Dollars for Boston Industrial Inslltnte.
