BURNS CASE SEARS THE END
Defenes Unexpectedly Concludes the De
fendant'i Cross-Examination.
LITTLE MORE EVIDENCE TO INTRODUCE
Jary Is Then to Be Excnaed Until
Monday, When Aranment la the
Celebrated Case Is to
Be Commenced.
The end of the long drawn-out trial of
the Doyle-Burns mining suit la t last In
sight and it Is now asserted that all the
evidence on both sides will be in by Thurs
day, when the Jury will be tMven a vaca
tion until next Monday, at which time the
arguments will be begun. Counsel for the
defense yesterday agreed to the proposi
tion to allow the Jury a recess at the close
of taking evidence until Monday.
Mr. Hughes, somewhat to the surprise
of the defense, suddenly and without warn
ing, closed his cross-examination of Burns
at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Up to
the moment that Mr. Hughes announced he
was through with the defendant It looked
as If the cross-examination would continue
for the remainder of the afternoon. Con
gressman Smith tock up the re-direct ex
amination of the defendant, which. It Is
expected, will be concluded by noon today.
t'ross-Kxanilnatton of Baraa.
During the cross-examination of the de
fendant yesterday, by reference to the ac
count book In evidence, It was shown that
Burns kept account of the work of himself
and O'Dtlseoll during their partnership,
crediting both of them with fifty-eight days
at 83 a day. Burns had testified that he
paid certain expenses, boarding and for
hauling logs to the cabin, but on being
shown certain entries In the book he
stated that they were paid out of money
furnished by O'Haire. He admitted: that
at the meeting at which the Tidal Wave
and the Devil's Own were sold to the
Portland company he had referred to them
as his properties, although John Hainan
and his brother, Tom Burns, had Interests
therein.
The witness was, shown two answers filed
In two adverse suits against the Portland
claim brought against himself, Ilarnnn and
Doyle, and stated they bore the signature
of William Harrison, an attorney employed
by him to defend the litigation. In those
answers It Is alleged that Burns and Doyle
together discovered the Portland claim and
placed both their names on the stake as
locators. These answers were Introduced
to dispute Burns' claim that Doyle, alone
discovered the Portland,
Answers In Other Salts.
Another answer In an adverse suit of
another claim against the Portland, against
the same defendants, was offered, signed by
Wolcott & Vaile, as - attorneys for de
fendants. In that answer It Is stated that
from anuary 22, 1892 (the date of the dis
covery of the Portland), until December
23, 1802, Burns and Doyje were both own
ers of It. This was Introduced to disprove
Burns' claim that he acquired no interest
in it until March 14, when, as he claims,
an exchange was made with Doyle. An
other answer waa offered signed by Har
rison in an adverse suit of the Queen of
the Hills against the Bob Tall No. 2 claim,
Burns being defendant, and he stated that
Harrison appeared aa hut attorney and
received all the Information in preparing
the defense from him. Ia that answer It
Is alleged that Doyle is Jointly Interested
In that claim with Burns, and It Is anked
that he bo made a party. In a similar suit
of the Scranton against the Bob Tail No.
2 the same allegation is made In an answer
filed by Harrison for Burns, and It Is
prayed that Doyle be made a defendant,
as being a Joint owner of the claim. Ob
jections were' made by Congressman Smith
for Burns against the Introduction ot these
answers on the ground that they were not
sworn to, but under the ruling of the su
preme court on appeal from the last trial
they were permitted to go to the Jury.
On the re-dlrect examination Congress
man Smith brouifht out the fact that
Burns had Joined Doyle In the transfer of
the latter'a stock In December, 1884, all of
the stock owned by Doylo being the prod
uct of the Portland claim and being sub
ject therefor to be taken by O'Haire and
O'Drlscoll 11 they succeeded In winning
their suit against Doyle, not for the pur
pose of defrauding any bona flde creditor,
but merely to protect Doyle from any un
just claim auch as he (Burns) considered
those of O'Haire and O'Drlscoll were.
The witness also showed that he had
agreed to return all work done by Doyle
and that he had done all such return
work that Doyle asked of him.
Miss M. C. Tucker Is acting as clerk, her
compensation being fixed at 84 per day.
Seven prisoners committed to the county
Jail to await the action of the grand Jury

strain them from proceeding to hold an
election this year, claiming that according
to the constitutional amendment elections,
beginning this year, should be held only
on even numbered years and that accord
ing to the luw he was entitled to another
year In office. The lower court decided In
his favor and the supreme court now af
firms that decision. As a result, the gen
eral elections in Iowa, heretofore held
every fall, will hereafter be held only every
two years. The chief ground for assailing
the constitutionality of the law was thut
it waa not one amendment but several, for
the reason that It changed the elections
to every two years and also changed the
manner of selecting the chief Justice and
would affect the school elections, which are
regularly held In the spring. Judges of the
supreme Court serve six years and the one
serving on his last year'hafb always acted
as chief Justice. Hereafter the term of
two will expire at the same time and the
old methods cannot be used. The supreme
court in its decision holds that as a part
of the amendment changing to biennial
elections It was necessary to change the
method of selecting the chief Justice and
this was properly Included in the one
amendment and not submitted separately.
The decision also holds' "that the amend
ment apples only to general elections held
In the fall and not td city 'and school elec
tions in the spring.

egram.) The Carnegie Hero Fund commis
sion has under consideration the action cf

cember. He had accompanied a party of

the aid of a fence pole. The Carnegie

One-Sided Contest nt Glenwood.
GLENWOOD, Ia., April 4.-(Speclal.)-Glenwood's
city election, held yesterday,
was very quiet, one-half the usual vote
being polled. This does not mean lack ot
interest, however, as the republicans had
nominated such excellent material for
every office that the - opposition had no
chance and very alight disposition to op
pose the election of any of thou candi
dates. Glenwood's business men are pull
ing together this year in a way that
means much for the city. Improvements
proposed will be pushed to completion, and
our citizens will give the new city govern
ment all necessary help toward making
the town a good one to live In.

OMAHA IMPROVEMENT"" LEAGUE
Annual Meetlnar llrlnaa Together a
Small but Active Bunch
of Workers. '
Though not very largely attended, the
meeting of the Omaha Clvlo Improvement
lcairue at the nark board rooms lnut nluhf
was full of Interest, and a big grist -of
business was attended to. Chairman Slo
baugh made a strong appeal to the various
committee chairmen to get down to work,
as the time Is ripe for work. Miss Me.
Cartney, secretary of the league, suggested
mat the qqostlon or the league's finances
Is an important one. Incidental expenses,
constantly arising, must be met. School
children particularly are anxious to pro
cure seeds for the beautlficatlon of locali
ties, as waa done last year under the
auspices of the league. No means are at
hund to procure seeds or even for prizes,
as waa the case hist year. While sentiment
Is a good thing in Its way, Miss McCartney
Is of the opinion that funds In the treas
ury will go much farther toward the ac
complishment of good work.
Rome Miller believed that many leading
and wealthy cltlxens would be glad to con
tribute liberally toward the purposes of
the league if they were approached. He
referred to his recent visit to Havana,
which only a few years ago was regarded
as the filthiest city In the world, but It Is
now the cleanest. With proper effort and
energy Omaha could be made one of the
moat baautlful cities n the country, and
Mr. Miller Is willing to do his part, either
by contribution of money or work or both.
The matter of raising funds for the pur
chase of 60,000 packages of seeds to be
sold to the school children at l r,.
package and additional funds to provide
ior tne compensation of a paid secretary
was discussed and left with the
committee.
On motion of Mr. Frank HIM.r m
mlttee was anDointed . mn.i.iin.
Hlller, 8. P. Boatwlck and W. It. Adams to
request the mayor to Issue a proclamation
ior a general cleanlna: tin dav ihm.i . i,-

A proposition was also iiihmiitnrf ih.i ,h.
