(FOURTH WARD TO BE PAVED
Oitj Concil InitracU Ooitrtcttr t Bigia

GAS COMPANY TO LEAVE DITCHES TAMPED
.Mnrshnl l to lln-p Motor Compniiy
Heplacr Ornnlte Illocks Itrtrrren
Track Other Coniplalnta
Are Heard.
The city council last night Instructed
Contractor Wlckham to begin the paving
In the Fourth ward within four days, or
dered the water and gas companies to
make at once any contemplated repairs to
their mains or laterals In the streets to
h imriroved In this territory, and that all
an,l tD streets left In the condition In
which they found them. At the suggestion
0f Alderman Lougce, Contractor Wlckham
wa, instructed to pavo Sixth street and
. . ... ,. " .,. .,
then proceed with the work on Hrst avenue.
When the matter was brought up by
Alderman McDonald, Mr. Wlckham com-
plained that the gas company was rop&lr
I lng laterals on the streets embraced In
his Fourth ward contract and on Sixth
street had left a large number of ditches
in such condition that it would be unsafe
' to pavo over them. Ho wanted to know
, whether he or the gas company was to have
the right of way on these streets. He
j was ready to begin work In the Fourth
i ward tomorrow, he said, but for his own
protection was not prepared to proceed
with the paving while the gas company
, was tearing up the streets ahead of 'him.
City Knglncer Etnyre suggested that the
gas company when digging ditches be com
, polled to flush them Instead of simply
tamping them, as in bis opinion any ditch
that was only tamped would be bound to
settle. Manager Itlsecr of the gas com
pany said he thought he coould work ahead
of tho paving. The city council disposed
of the matter by ordering the gas company
to follow out the suggestions of the city
engineer. Discussion of this matter de
veloped the fact that the gas company had
failed to comply with the city ordinance
and take out permits when opening up
streets.
1'ntlnu (lint Una .Settled.
Attention was called to tho condition of
the paving of Hroadway nnd Thirteenth
street, which had settled because tho
Water Works company dug a ditch to make
a lot connection. The city marshal was
,.,., , ,,, (Vl ... ' ..,, ti..,
Instructed to notify the New 1ork Plumb-
Ing company, which did the worK, to ro
place the paving In Its original condition
within threo days.
Alderman Drown called attention to the
condltlou of the paving between the tracks
of tho motor company on Bouth Main
street, whero tho granlto blocks bad been
replaced flat Instead of on end. He said
numerous cotnplalntB had been made that
tho blocks had worked out, leaving holes
In the street, and tho city marshal was In
structed to notify tho company to place
tho paving In a proper condition within
ten days.
At the suggestion of Alderman Drown
the Milwaukee railroad was ordered to
place n culvert under Its tracks at tho In
tersectlon of Third streut.
Contractor Wlckham objected to $7.50 be
ing deducted from his bill of t'JS.25 for con
structlng a main sewer on Fifth avenue
fjom DIuff to Third street. The deduction
was mado by tho city engineer for flushing
the ditch and thereby an he claimed saving
Wlckham the expense of tamping It. The
bill was passed with tho deduction despite
Wlckham's protest.

Arrest Follows Nnlnon llorr.
Martin Mortensen, one of the kcoperB of
the Creiton house saloon on South Main
street-, was arrested yesterday afternoon on
a chnrgo of assault anil battery, preferred
against him by Clyde McClelland.
According to McClciland'a story as told
to Justlco Ferrler, hp went Into Morten-
sen's saloon and ordered three glasses of
beer, after drinking which, ho told .Morten
sen to chareu them up. This Mortensen
declined to do. McClelland became an

an argument followed. McClelland alleges
that Mortecaen knocked him down and
kicked him In the face and body, dislocat
ing a shoulderblade. When McClelland ap
peared before Justice Ferrler to file the
Information his face showed evidence of
having been up against something.
Mortensen rave bonds for hit appearance
and will have a hearing Wednesday morning.
ARGUE ON MINING CONTRACT
Connsel In Doyle-Ilurns 5nlt Contest
Leant Status of Colorado
Claim.
When Judge Macy reconvened district
court yesterday he excused the Jury until
this morning and tounscl In the Doyle
Durns suit entered upon the arguments on
the question as to whether the oral con
tract between Doyle and Burns, as alleged
in Doyle's petition, comes within the
statute of frauds, as being the acquiring
of an interest In real property. The argu
ments were not concluded when court ad
journed for the day and will be resumed
this morning.
On the part of Burns, the point being
raised by his attorneys, It Is contended
that testimony relating to the alleged con
tract between him and Doyle cannot be ad
mitted, as It Is conceded by the plaintiff
that the contract, If one existed, was an
oral one, while the law requires that alt
contracts for the acquiring of an Interest
In real property must be In writing.
Counsel for Doyle contend that there Is
not the slightest foundation for the con
tention of the defense and expect to prove
to tho court that the courts of- the state
of Colorado have In an unbroken line of
decisions held that contracts that relate
to mining properties are essentially differ
ent from ordinary real estate. They assert
that the Colorado courts have always held
that there Is a distinction between a mining
Interest and any other property.
Argument for the defense was opened by
ex-Governor Thcmas, who spoke two hours
and a half. He was followed by Ocorgo J.
Hughes, Jr., counsel for Doyle, and his
argument waa not completed when court
adjourned for the day. Senator Patterson
will close for the defense.
This Is considered to be the crucial point
In tho case, as In the event of Judge Macy
sustaining the contention of the defense
and refusing to admit the testimony now
being sought to be Introduced by the plain
tiff to prove his ngrccment with Burns,
Doyle will bo forced to amend his original
petition.
It now looks, owing to the time con
sumed In arguing this question, as though
tho case will not go to tho Jury before
some day next week. Doyle's examination
on the witness stand, it Is expected, will
take all of Tuesday afternoon and Wednes
day. If not longer.
Several witnesses for Burns' side of tho
case have arrived, among them being J. J.
O'Drlscoll, F. M. Clancy and R. C. Mullen
of Colorado Springs and D. D. Findlcy of
Cripple Creek.
Many of tho leading lawyers of tho city
wcro In tho court room to listen to the
arguments of Oovernor Thomas and Mr.
Hughes.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Oct. ".(Special.) A
mooted question In regard to railroad cross
ings and the cost of putting them In was
disposed of by the supreme court of Iowa j
today. The court decided that under 'he 1
Iowa law, where one railroad Is built across
another, the company building the last roml
must stand all the expense of putting In
the crossing end, If the older company In- 1
slsts upon It, must put In an Interlocks. ;
The case arose In Hancock county, whero (
the Cedar Rapids. Garner A Northwestra
crossed the Minneapolis & St. Louis. The
companies failed to agree as to the cost
of putting In tho crossing and went to
court. The law appears to be defective,
but the court decides that Inasmuch as anv
other construction of the law would leave
It unconstitutional, It was the Intent of
the legislators that the company desiring
to cross must bear all expense. .
The supreme court alllrmed a murder
caso In which the appellant Is serving a life
sentence. This was tho case of Oman Mc-
