BLUFFS
JURY TO HEAR DOTLE CASE
Judge Thernell OnrralN Motion to Trans
fer It to Equity Docket
REVIEW OF THE FAMOUS LITIGATION
Former Jary Flxe4 Price of Mlnlagr
Itoek Too High to Salt the Views
of the Barrens Coart, Which
Reversed Case.
The famous mining suit of James Doyle
against James F. Burns, president of the
Portland Gold Mining company of Colorado,
will have to be tried again to a Jury In the
district court. Judge' Thornell yesterday
handed down his decision overruling the
motion of the defendant to transfer the
caae to the equity docket. The deolslon la
a signal victory for Doyle.
As to Burns' cross bill. Judge Thornell
ruled that It could be transferred to the
equrty docket, but that the law action must
be first tried. In the event, however, rf
Doyle securing a verdict In his favor at the
trial of the law action there would be little.
If anything, left for Burns to try in an
equity cause.
In overruling the defendant' motion to
transfer the suit to the equity deckot Judge
Thornell held that Burns had the right
In the law action to 'set up in defense the
matters of expenditure he claim to have
made In developing the mining properties
In controversy.
Burns had denied that at any time he
had been trustee for Doyle for the atock
which the latter claimed, and the court In
Its ruling on the motion to transfer stated
he could not see why Burns could demand
an accounting without admitting a trus
teeship. Nothing had been offered, the
court said, which deprived Doyle of his
right to try his claim to the property to
a Jury.
Former Trial of the Case.
At the former trial in December, 1901,
Doyle secured a verdict for 8446,922.73, but
unless the Jury at the forthcoming trial
finds that he la entitled to part of the rtock
of the Devil's Own mine this amount must
necessarily be materially reduced. The su
preme court in sending the case back for
retrial held that the Jury had erred In al
lowing 83 a share for the stock, which It
decided Doyle was entitled to. The Jury,
according to the ruling of the supreme
court, should have figured the stock at 76
cents or $1.04 per share.
Doyle In his orlgjnal auit claimed one-half
of the stock Usued by the Portland com
pany In payment for three claims, known as
the Devil s Own, Bob Tall No. 2 and the
Tidal Wave. The Jury, however, found
that Doyle had no Interest In the Devil's
Own. If, however, at the coming trial,
Doyle la able to convince the Jury that he
was equally entitled to a share of the
Devil's Own stock as well as the other two
properties, he should secure a verdict about
as large as before, but If the Jury finds
as before that he Is only entitled to a share
of the stock of the Tidal Wave and Bob
Tall No. 2, under the finding of the supreme
court the verdict roust necessarily be great
ly reduced
The verdict tecured In 1901 by Doyle car
ried with it Judgment for costs amounting'
to 88,047 and interest aggregating 88,044. In
order to take the case to the supreme court
and aeeure an arrest of Judgment Burns
had to file a supersedeas bond in the sum
of 8660,000, which was f urnistn d by. three
eastern bonding companies. '
Beam an Is Acquitted.
F. R. Beaman, formerly local manager of
the Equitable Home association, who was
lndloted on a charge of conducting a build
ing and loan business without a certificate
from the state, .was discharged In district
court yesterday, Judge Thornell, on motion
of the'defense, taking the case from the
Jury and ordering a verdict for the de
fendant. The outcome of the case was due
to the fact that the state legislature In
enacting laws governing building and loan
companies failed to repeal the old ones.
The result was that at the time this Indict
ment waa returned against Beaman there
were laws on the statute books making the
offense charged both a mlsdeamanor and a
felony. The Indictment was held by the
court faulty, In that It did not specify
whether the state sought to punish the de
fendant for a misdemeanor or a felony. The
fault. Judge Thornell stated, in ordering
the case tnken from the Jury, lay rather
Wjlth the legislature than with the county
attorney. .
Beaman was Indicted along with S. P.
Hughes, an employe of the same company.
Hughes waa discharged on a technicality
and to avoid a similar result County At
torney Klllpack brought the case against
Beaman again before the grand Jury and
secured a new Indictment, which, according
to Judge Thornell'a ruling yesterday, also
proved faulty.
Herman Miller, Indicted on a charge of
assaulting Sophie Verpoorten, a young girt
of Underwood, with criminal Intent, was
permitted to plead guilty to a simple as
sault and battery charge and was sentenced
to thirty days In the county Jll.
Judge Thornell, who had adjourned court
for one week to enable him to dispose of a
number pf equity cases which he had heard
and taken under advisement, did not have
the leisure that he had anticipated. Instead
of occupying the week, ao he had expected,
he waa obliged to hold court every day last
week In Sidney, allowing him but little op
portunity to devote to the cases he had
under advisement.
Edwin D. Baker Dies.
Edwin D. Baker died at Omaha Sunday,

ligned or a much married man. According
to Sheriff Frank Brant of De Kalb county,
Missouri, who was In the city yesterday

Roberts arrived in Council Bluffs about

he had married In Omaha, and obtained a

psny as traveling salesman for an adver
tising specialty. Harvey De Long, man
ager of the company, heard from Roberts

erts had overdrawn his expense account
about $20.
Mrs. Roberts No. 8 was slclt when she
arrived In Council Bluffs and had to be

Iowa farmer.
