STORY OF THE "GRUB STAKE"
John D. 0'Haire Tells of the Start of Barns
in Mining Venture.
ADMITS ENMITY TOWARD DEFENDANT
Details Quarrel Which Was Cans
of Barns and Doyle Belna Thrown
Oat of Cabin to Shift for
Themselves.
John D. O'Halre, the merchant tailor of
Colorado Springs who "grub staked" Burns
and Doyle In the original prospecting enter
prises out of which grew the present liti
gation, was the star attraction yesterday in
the trial of the Doyle-Burns suit. He was
on the witness stand the entire day, his
cross-examination being completed a few
minutes before court adjourned for the
day.
Mr. O'Halre's story of the early history
of Burns and Doyle's prospecting In the
Cripple Creek district and of the alleged
partnership between the two was substan
tially the snme as that told by him at the
former trial. The cross-examination to
which the witness was subjected by Mr.
Thomas was searching and rigorous and
covered former testimony given by O'Halre
In the prior trials of the case, also testi
mony given by him in his own case against
Burns In Colorado and the pleadings In that
case.
Mr. O'Halre made no secret of the fact
that he entertained a bitter enmity toward
Burns, and in reply to a question from Mr.
Thomas as to what Interest he had in the
present suit, said, "Not more than I would
like to see him (Burns) beaten." The wit
ness explained his enmity toward Burns
was due to the fact that he believed Burns
had defrauded him. Reference was made
to his suit against Burns and he waa asked
if it was not decided against him by the
supreme court of Colorado, but this the
witness denied. "It was not decided against
me properly, but it was thrown out of court
on a technicality," he said.
Story of "Grub Stake."
O'Halre testified that he became ac
quainted with Burns and Doyle about the
year 1S90 and that they became Intimate
friends. Burns was working for a plumber
and was living with his three sisters, who
were dressmakers. The first time he saw
Doyle waa when the latter delivered some
work the Misses Burns had done for Mrs.
O'Halre. About November 14, 1881, O'Halre
made the arrangement to grub stake Burns,
Drlscoll and a man naved Stevenson. The
original equipment cost about 322.50, - of
which O'Halre paid one-third and subse
quently he furnished all supplies. Christ
mas day of that year O'Halre and Doyle i
were at Burns' house in Colorado Springs
and in the course of conversation O'Halre
said to Doyle:
"Why don't you go up to the camp and
locate some claims for yourself."
Nothing further was said at the time, but
when Burns and O'Drlscoll went back to
Battle mountain In a few days Doyle ac
companied them.
Early the next year they had a dispute
while at the camp and O'Halre Informed
Burns and Doyle that he Intended to have
an Interest in everything they located, as
they "were eating his grub." Out of this
quarrel grew the dissolution of the original
partnership. About the middle of June oc
curred the memorable fight in the cabin be
tween O'Drlscoll and O'Halre oh one side
and Doyle and Burns on the other, which
resulted In O'Drlscoll remaining In posses
sion of the cabin, while Doyle and Burns
went to llye Jn a tent.
O'Halre had been advised by O'Drlscoll
that Burns had jumped the two Bob Tall
claims which were then owned in common
by all three, and O'Halre started for the
mines to Investigate. On his arrival there
he found that Burns had pulled up the
stakes on the two Bob Tails and substi
tuted them by two other stakes, on which
he had written the names Tellow Jackets
1 and 8. On the latter stake were written
the names of James F, Burns and James
Doyle as locators, and on the former the
names of James F. Burns, Jennie Burns,
and in between, a name partly rubbed out,
which O'Drlscoll told O'Halre waa James
Doyle,! and of which O'Halre deciphered
the letters "J, D."
On motion of the defendant . what
O'Drlscoll had told O'Halre was struck
from the record as hearsay. O'Halre pulled
up the stakes and started for the cabin
In no very pleasant frame of mind towards
Burns and then the fight occurred.
O'Halre further testified that in June,
1893, when he and Burns were on the train
coming from Pueblo, Bums stated to him
that "Doyle was a partner of his in
everything he had and that if It was not
for 'Dirty 'Jerry (meaning O'Drlscoll) I
would be just as well off." This was some
time after the great dlsoovtry of ore In
the Portland claim.

City Engineer Entyre and
assistants will have a hard time securing
their salaries out of the balance left of
I he appropriation for his department, as
it has been exhausted with the exception
of $81.20. The other departments. It la
expected, will be, able to pull through with
out a deficit.
The contingent fund Is being heavily
drawn on and by April 1 there promises
to be a big overdaft in this fund. The
same is true of the general Improvement
fund and; a large overdaft Is assured here,
which will have to be made up next year.
The Indian crek dredge is proving a big
expense to the city and up to date has cost
over $15,000. At present the expense of
operating the dredge Is met by warrants
on tha contingent fund.
The streets and alleys appropriation
shows, as it has for several months, a bal
ance of $2.07. For some months this de
partment has been maintained by money
In the road fund.
The city council. It is expected, will hold
a special meeting soon to take action on
the appropriation ordinance for the new
fiscal year. The finance committee Is now
working on the measure and expects to
report soon.

The March term of United States court,
which waa convened yesterday by Judge
Smith McPhcrson, Is not expected to last
over the end of the week and it Is likely
that there will not be a single jury trial,
unless it may be some criminal case. ,
The afternoon session was occupied by
Judge McPherson hearing arguments lu
the appeal case from the ruling of the ref
eree 'in the bankruptcy case of Alexander
Wood, one of the owners of the suspended
bank ot Colfax. The bank held about 120,000
of the funds of Polk county, to secure
which Wood had given a personal bond.
The referee held . that Wood's Individual
property should go to pay his individual
debts, among which was numbered the
claim of Polk county, and from this ruling
the general creditors of the bank appealed.
The arguments were not completed yester
day afternoon. .

PIERRE, 8. D., March 14. (Special Tele
gramsRoyal B. Stearns, one of the lead
ing business men of Fort Pierre and tho
nominee of the republican party for the
atate senate last fall, waa today arrested
by Deputy Marshal Laughlln on a com
plaint sworn out In St. Paul, charging
him with connection with W. T. IIorsnell
of that city in extensive land frauds.
Stearns was taken before United States
Commissioner Moore at Fort Pierre this
afternoon and given a continuance until
given a hearing on the charge.
It seems that the method of action was
the 23rd of this month when he will be
for Horsnell tq secure the signatures of
girls and clerks in St. Paul to a document
purporting to be a release of their home
stead rights, but which were In fact filing
applications. These would be sent to
Stearns at Fort Pierre, who would have
them executed before local officials of
Stanley county and they would be sent to
the United States land office tn this city
through the mall, showing regular on their
face. By thla means over a hundred filings
were secured on choice tracts and while
no proofs were ever offered on any of
them It Is presumed that the plan waa to
get the proofs through in the same manner.
The matter promises to show sensational
features before it la completed.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINKS. March U. (Special.) The
phystclana' and surgeons' liability policy
of the Travelers Insurance company of
Hartford. Conn., Is not legal In Iowa, ac
cording to an opinion given to Auditor of
State Carroll today by Attorney Oeneral
Mullan. The case has been troubling the
department for nearly a year and the at
torney general has been Investigating It.
The company sought to Insure doctors
against liability for Injury to a patient
from malpractice. If the patient's arm
was Improperly set and he brought milt and
recovered damages the Insurance company
would stand the loss. The attorney gen
eral holds that this Is Illegal snd that the
Insurance laws do not contemplate the
Issuance of such a policy.
Mulct Tax Is Good.
A decTsion of tho supreme court today
further sustains the "mulct tax" of Iowa.
A building owned by Jennie Newton bf
Des Moines was occupied by a saloon and
the saloonkeeper not paying the tax, the
county treasurer assessed it against the
property. She resisted the action on the
ground that she had not been properly
notified and further that the tax was in
fact a license and so Illegal. The supreme
court today points out that a decision of
the United States supreme court, given on
January 16, this year, but not yet officially
reported, holdn that the owner does not
have to be notified, and as to the other
contention the Iowa court holds that it Is
not a license but a tax. The opinion of
the Polk county court to the contrary Is
reversed.
Malvern People Object.
A cltlxen from Malvern, Mills county. Is
In the city today consulting with the at
torney general and the superintendent of

on such enumeration. There are over 800
children of school age In the Glenwood
school for feeble minded. Glenwood haa
a population of about S.OOO, and with the
assistance of the School for the Feeble
Minded nearly doubles Its school popula
tion and gets twice tho amount from tho
state treasury. It Is learned that the same
