Admissibility or evidence I Disputed
nnil Court Suddenly Adjourn
t'ntll Mondny Looking
Hp Colorado I.nrr.
James Doylo, plaintiff In tho Doyle
Durns mining suit, want on tho witness
stand Saturday shortly before noon, when
Judge Macy adjournod court until Monday
afternoon.
Tho early adjournment was due to a dis
pute as to tho admissibility of nvldenco
which counsel for the plaintiff desired to
lntroduco and to which the defenso ob
jected. Tha evidence in quostlon related
to Doyle's connection and transactions
with Durns prior to tho entering Into of
the partnership agreement, upon which
Doylo relies as the basis of his suit. Tho
court held that matters prior to tho agree
ment were Immaterial, but the attorneys
for tbe plaintiff desired to submit thn rul
ings of tho Colorado courts on this ques
tion and Inasmuch as the agreement was
entered Into In that state Judge Macy
granted them permission, nnd this point
will bo argued on tho convening of court
Monday afternoon,
Doyle's testimony yesterday morning was
devoted principally to his relations with
tho Ilurns family. He told of the ac
quaintanceship that existed between him
and tho Durns family In their old homo In
Portland, Me., nnd how, after going to
Colorado Springs, ho was practically one
of tha Hum's household. Ho to'ld how he
ran messages for Hums' sisters, who wero
dressmakers, and how he acted as delivery
boy for them.
Wlint'a Ills I Theirs,
Telling of his Intimate rotations with the
family ho said: "The girls' money was
mlno and my money was theirs, and It was
tho same with their brother, Jimmy." Ho
told how he had placed the utmost confi
dence In Ilurns and had looked up to him
not only ns ho would toward an older
brother, but also as to a father.
When counsel for the plaintiff sought to
socuro testimony from Doylo ns to tho
share ho had contributed of tho preliminary
expenses of tho prospecting trip, Hums'
attorneys objected and were- sustained by
tho court.
It was at this point that Judgo Macy ad
journod court until Monday afternoon.
John Killing In Doyle Itehnlf.
John Kllday, a veteran miner from Crlp
plo Creek, gave testimony on behalf of
Doylo In tho morning. He said that In
1893 ho went to Durns with a proposition
for n leaso and bond on tho Doptall No, 2
claim and that Durns demanded $20,000,
payable In eighteen months, and a royalty
.of 20 per cent on nil the ore taken for tho
lease. This, Kllday said, he considered
too big n price and ho offered Durns $16.
000. Durns told him that ho could not ac
cept this, proposition without first consult
ing his partner, James Doyle. A few days
afterward Doylo called upon 'he witness
and refused to accept Its tJStn the amount
first asked by Durns and the dcnl conse
quently, fell through.

YACHTS FAIL TO SAIL IN TIME
Helen of fit. .lue and Andorrr uf
Manarrn Arc to Try for
Hare Asjuln Today.
The raco between Helen, the St. Joseph
challenger, and Andovcr Saturday afternoon
at take Manawa resulted In a fluke, the
boats falling to come within tho time limit
of ono hour and five minutes.
Despite this failure the raco was a pretty
one and showed that tho Van Drunts have
a no mean sailer In Helen.
Andover crossed tho line first, but Helen
caught up and passed it at tho first turn
nnd from that maintained a lead of nearly
half a mile, pasting the final stake almost
tbat distance ahead In one hour and eleven
minutes.
J. H. and W. T. Van Drunt wero much
plesied with the result of the race, which
showed ltat Helen Is possibly tho better
sailer of tbe two boats In both a light and
stiff breeze. Tho wind was fitful and at
times tho breeze was but a breath.
The first race will be sailed this morn
ing at 10 o'clock and tbe second at Sso'clook
In tbe afternoon. If a third heat It noce-
sary It will be sailed directly after tho sec
ond race.

MARK HANNA'S BROTHER IN DES MOINES
Y. W. C. A. Committer In Conference
Supreme Court Opinion Dntes
For Republican Speaker
Urnln Dealer Go Home.
(From .a Stnff Correspondent.)
DES MOINKS. Oct. CHfSpcclal.) Ac
cording to the decision of Judgo Holmes
of the district court today, cities havo the
right to cut noxious weeds on any citizen's
propirty and Ihk the cost against hlui,
providing ho refuses to cut thom himself,
Tha decision sustains tho validity of tho
weed ordinances of Des Moines and other
titles and tho statutes of the state. The
court holds that whero weeds aro noxious
and pronounced a nuisance tho city has
the right to cut them. In tho caso in ques
tion tho contract was held to be Invalid
because it did not confine to noxious weeds.
Two years ngo the city of Des Moines
let a contract to Jnmes Fnhcy and Kd
Davenport to cut weeds, tho ordinance pro
viding that the cost should be taxed against
abutting property or In cases where weeds
grew on vacant lots the cost Bhould bo
tnxed against ho property.
Suit for Injunction was brought by James
T. Llddlc and others to restrain the city
from making assessments on the ground
tbat tho contract was Illegal, mainly be
cause tho city haa exceeded Us authority
In levying such nKsessmcnts. Tho peti
tioners will now conin Into court Indi
vidually and attempt to show that ' tho
weeds on each particular lot were not
noxious nnd nuisances nnd thus try to fore
stall the assessing of cost.
The contractors. Fahoy nnd Dnvcnport,
nfter making some headway at weed cut
ting, ran short of money nnd assigned the
contract to others, who advanced money
and were in n measuro tho defendants
with tho rlty in tbo suit. The weed cutters
worked Sin all parts of tho resldonce sec
tions of the city. Thoy used a mowing
machine, drawn by two horses, and cleared
many acreH of meadow land In '.he far
distant suburbs, to tho disgust of the own
ers of those so-called farm lands.
Contractors when asked to desist replied
that their contract called for weed cutting
and did not restrict tho workmen to tho
use of scythes or sickles or to the cutting
of any particular kind of weeds. The
noard of Public Works tried to dlctato
whero weeds wero to bo cut, but somehow
tho foremen on tho work neglected to obey
orders and whole fields of flno grass, pro
nounced flrst-clnss pasturage, and In some
cases tracts without grass, or weeds moro
than half a foot high, woro mowed by ma
chine and proper record made, so that the
cost could be assessed.
Tho city councllmcn became Involved In
a row with tho Hoard of Public Works and
each other regarding authority In tho
matter and nt least 1,000 protests were
filed with City Clerk Dennett.
Statements wcro mado that flno lawns
wero Included In the lists, when In fact
thoy were kept beautified hy gardeners.
In other caseB women declnred they had
spent years In making their yards pretty
nnd tho weed cutters simply mowed down
flowers nnd shrubs without giving them a
chance to apply to the board or council
for relief. Tho contractors, Fancy &
Davenport, were paid about $8,000 out of
the deal and the Stoners, who had ad
vanced tho money, cleared nbout $1,000,
besides interest, from the original con
tractors.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA

YOUNG WOMAN IS ALSO MISSING
Mr. Mle Sn;n Her llulinuil Went
Avrn.v Ostensibly In en roll of
llenlth nnd She linn ot
llenrcl from lllm.
Friends and relatives of Henry Mies,
formerly a member of the city council and
until recently collector lor tho South
Oiuahn Drew lug company, nro considerably
worried nnd fears nro expressed that he
has possibly met with foul play.
Mies severed his connection with the
Drewory about September 1, giving 111
henlth as tho reason. Ho made the state
ment that he was going west in senrcli of
health and would probably locate In Den
ver, Salt Like City or some town In Idaho.
On September 0 ho left the city ami has
not been seen or heard from since. As ho
took u lnrgo amount nf money with him bis
friends nro naturally anxious and an effort
Is being mado to ascertain his whereabouts,
A few weeks beforo resigning his position
with tho brewery Mies sold his property on
Twenty-fourth street, receiving $5,600 for
tho same. On the day of his departure hi
drew from ono of tho banks in Omaha live
$1,000 bills and with tho money already In
bis possession bo hnd not less than $7,000
when ho left the city.
After selling his property here Mies
moved his family to n dwelling at 3K1.S
South Twentieth street, Omnlin, whero Mrs.
Mies nnd her 12-year-old sou now reside.
Ono peculiar feature of thu sudden de
parture of Mies Is the fact that he stated to
his friends nnd relatives that ho was going
to Denver, but Investigation shows that on
tho day he left he boarded a Northwestern
train for the cast.
Another peculiar thing nbout tho dUap
pcaranco of Mies is tho fact that he Ik con
sidered a very Importnnt witness In the
rases now pending ngalnst Mayor Kelly In
the district court. Mies Is quoted as saying
that he raised a certain sum of money from
tha breweries to bo given to Mayor Kelly
In return for certain privileges to In
granted by the administration. Now that
Mies Is gduo this particular bit of evidence
cannot of course bo secured.
In looking up the dlsappcnranco of Mies n
representative of Tho Dec called upon Mrs.
Mies nt her home on South Twentieth strcot
tn Omaha iRst evculng, Mrs. Mies admitted
that she hail not heard a word from her
husband since no left on September 0. Shs
said that she went to the depot with him
and that lin boarded n Northwestern train,
saying that he was going west via Sinus
City. As Mrs. Mies knows nothing nbout
trains she did not suspect thnt her husbatij
was not going west as he had nsserted.
Hern is what Mrs. Mies says: "When I
went to the depot with Mr. Mies ho parted
with mo In the best of spirits, although
his health has not been good for somo time.
After he had been gono two weeks nnd I
had not heard from him I bernmo worried
nnd then stories eamo to me about his hav
ing gone to Europe. After I had tried to
find out something from his relntlvps nbout
his whereabouts and failed I called at the
banks whero he kept his money and I
found thnt ho had drawn every cent ho had
on deposit. This was news to mo, as ho
had said nothing about draulng tho money
ho bad secured from tho salo of our prop
erty In South Omaha,"
When nsked If her husband hnd provided
for her beforo leaving Mrs. Mies snld that
he had not, but xhe would ho well tnken
care of, as sho resided next door to her
fnthcr, Fred Dltterolf, nnd that ho would
sen to all her wants. At first Mrs. Mies
was Inclined to think that her husband had
been foully dealt with, but later develop
ments show that this theory cannot well be
homo out.
Continuing Mrs. Mies said: "After my
susplrlons had become nroused by ascer
taining that my husband had drawn all his
money fiom tbo bnnks I wan prompted to
look over his effects nnd I found several
letters from Miss IouIho Janeen, the young j
woman who Kept House for him while my
son nnd myself wero In Europo last year.
As Miss Jnnsen left the city shortly nftcr
my husband did I nm Inclined to think (hat
they nro now together, but where I cannot
