The Impaneling of a Jury In tho celebrated
ftllt of James Doylo against James V. Hums,
president of the Portland Gold Mining
company of Colorado, In tho district court
yesterday was not accomplished until lata
In the afternoon, when there was only time
left for counsel to make their opening
statements before an adjournment was
taken to this morning when tho Introduc
tion of evldenco will begin. The case Is at
tracting much nttentlon nnd tho court room
was crowded all day. Tho trial Is expected
to last poMlbly two weeks, as there Is a
large number of witnesses on both sides.
Tho plaintiff Is represented by Wright &
Ilnhlwlu of this city and Scott Ashton of
Victor, Colo,, a prominent mining attorney
of that stnte. Hums' Interests aro being
looked after by Iloss ft Ross of this city,
Stato Senator T. M, Patterson of Denver,
former Governor Charles S. Thomas of
Colorado nnd Judge A. T. Gunncll of Colo
rado Springs. The opening statement for
Doylo was made by John N. Baldwin, whllo
Mr. Thomas made that for the defence.
James Doyle,, the plaintiff. Is 33 years of
nge, with hair as black as the raven's wing,
while James F. Burns, tne defendant, Is
twenty years his senior, with hair almost
now white.
.furors liupnnrled.
These arc tho Jurors Impaneled: .T. M.
Hart, William Darrlngton, Joseph Lldgot,
I, Covalt, O. W. Spencer, D. P. Howes. J.
A. Vernon, V. B. Perry, Petor Johnson,
Forrest Smith, J. N. Wolf. W. P. Sherratt.
In 1891 Doyle and Hums, with others,
prospected together In the famous Cripple
Creek district and located n number of
mines, which later beenmo the properties
of tho Portland Gold Mining company.
Doyle sues for t20,000 and Interest, which
he asserts to bo the value of certain shares
of stock In the Portland company, and
dividends paid on these shares, which by
right, ho alleges, belong to him, but aro
being unlawfully held by Ilurns.
Slmrrn In Jlleh Mines.
Doylo and his associates located a number
of mlnos which later turned out to be most
valuable properties. Ho claims that In 18DI
he entered Juto an agreement with Burns,
John D, O'Hniro and Jeremiah Drlscoll to
prospect for clnlms in the Cripplo Creek
district, each bearing n portion of the ex
penses. During tho pendency of this agree
ment Doyle claims he located four claims,
tho Portland, the Tidal Wave, the Devil's
Own and the Bob Tall No. 2. the certificates
for which, however, were mado out In tht'
name of Burns. By tho terms of a seconif I
agreement entered into at tho close of th-i I
prospecting agreement Doyle asserts he was
entitled to nn undivided half interest In all
of these claims.
On behalf of Doyle It Is alleged that In
March, 1804, when the claims were paying
properties, n.irns sold them to tho Port
land Gold Mining company, of which he Is
now president nnd of which Doyle was
formerly a director. Burns Is said to have
received in consideration l&ri.OOO shares in
tho company of tho par value of tl. but
which nre now said to bo worth t.t a share.
Doylo claims that he should have 75,000
of theso shares of stock. It Is also alleged
by Doylo that Burns recolvcd 44 cents on
the dollar In tho shapo of dividends, half
of which should have been his. It Is fur
ther contended by Doylo that Burns is
withholding his shares of stock In the
Portland company received In consideration
for tho salo of, four other claims In which
Doyle claims ho was entitled to a half In
terest by reason of the agreement entered
Into between htm anil Burns at the close
of the prospecting contract.
Colnrmln Injiuirtlon Appears.
The suit was begun In February. 1R3S,
when service war. obtained on Burns while
he was attending tho annual meeting of
the stockholders of the Portland company
In this city, the company being organized
under the laws of Iowa, On his return to
Colorado Burns secured an Injunction In
the courts of that stato restraining Doylo
from bringing or continuing tho bitlt in
this stnte. Paying no attention to the In
junction Issued by tho Colorado court,
Doylo went nhead with his suit and on
November 22, 1808. before Judge Green of
tho district court, secured a Judgrannt for
$717,025 ngninst Burns,
On his return to Colorndo Doyle was, on
December 10, 1S0S. found guilty of con
tempt of court and was given threo days
In which to comply with tho order of the
court nnd vacate the Judgment. This ho
refused to do and was thrown Into Jail,
whern he remained for somo months. On
January P. 1800. Burns filed n motion In
the court here to bavo the Judgment set
aside, basing his application nn the grounds
that he had entered no defense before, re
lying nn tho restraining order Issued by
tho Colorado court. Judge Thorncll. bo-
I fore whom the motion was argued, decided
In ravor of Burnyi nnd ordered the Judg
ment set aside and the case tried on Its
merits,

DES MOINES, Oct. L (Special.) The

ent. A class of a dozen applicants for ad
mission to tho bar was roferrcd to tho
bar commission for examination. Tho call
of cases from tho southeastern part of the

mlttod. Two criminal cases wero decided
by the court.
In tho case of tho State against Thomas
King, who was convicted and sentenced
to one year fpr breaking and escaping
from the state penitentiary, tho court
holds that ho wns not in tho penitentiary
when ho got away and anyway ho didn't
break anything to got out. Ho was ono of
a squad of eighty returning to tho pent
tontlnry from tho state stone quarry two
miles from the prison nnd ho and another
dropped Into a crcvlco, whero thoy re
mained two days and thon walked away,
Tho court decides tho quarry is not a part
of tho penitentiary and that tho statute
docs not apply to the case. It also de
cides that thoy did not break anything to
get away, hence wero wrongfully convicted
In the enso of Frnnk Slglcr, from Fro-
mont county, tho sentence of five years was
affirmed, Slgler nnd others wero driving
cnttlo when n trivial quarrel ensued and
ho struck William Shultz over the head
with n stick of wood and killed Shulti
Tho only defense was Insanity and the
court holds that, although there was con
flicting testimony and tho trial court ap
peared to hao doubts about the sanity of
tho defendant, tho Jury gave tho matter
proper consideration and the Judgment will
not bo Interfered with.
