DOYLE WINS AN0TI1ER SUIT Plaintiff in Famooj Gold Mining Company Caaa Again 8uooesgful. VICTOR IN SUIT BROUGHT BY T. A. HARDING Latter Case In Coaaectloa with Man aceraeat of Little May Mine In Cripple Creek Dismissed ' for Xoajnrlsdlctlon. James Doyle, the plaintiff In the now famous suit of Doyle against James F. Burns, president of the Portland Gold Min ing company, in which he secured a ver dict of nearly $500,000, won another vic tory in the district court here yesterday. The suit brought against htm by T. A. Harding of Guthrie county, this state, was dismissed yesterdsy by Judge Green on the grounds of lack of Jurisdiction. Notice of suit was served on Doyle Oc tober 11, 1901, while be was attending court here In the prosecution of bis ac tion against James Burns." Doyle con tended that the service was null and void on the grounds thst the statutory provi sions held persons attending court from another state exempt from service. On the other band. It was contended by counsel for Harding that Doyle purposely brought his suit against Burns In thjs stale and thereby forfeited his claim to exemption from service under the statute. Judge Green, however, suBtslned the contention of Doyle and dismissed the suit for lack of Jurisdiction. Another Mlnlns; Case. The suit brought by Harding was in con nection with the management of the Little May mine In the Cripple Creek (Colo.) district. Harding alleged that in April, 1S97, be obtained a one-eighth interest In the mine from one Thomas Burke by agreeing to pay Burke's share of the In debtedness against the mine, which at that time aggregated $12,795.26. According to Harding's allegation. Burke and Doyle owned each a one-half interest in the property. Harding asserted in his petition that Doyle acknowledged his (Harding's) agreement with Burke and agreed that if Harding would place In his hands the amount of Burke's share of the Indebted ness he would contribute a like amount and pay off the claims against the mining property. Harding claimed that he paid the amount over to Doyle, but not being a resident of Colorado, was unable to give the matter of the payment of the Indebted ness his personal attention and was there fore forced to entrust It to Doyle. Harding alleged that not only did Doyle fail to carry out the agreement and pay off the Indebtedness against the Little May mine, but converted to his own use the $8,397.63 which he (Harding) had con tributed for that purpose. As a conse quence the debts against the mine went Into judgment, and Harding stated that he lost his interest in the property. In his petition he asked that Doyle be required to produce bis books and papers relating to the Little May mine, and that he have judgment for the money advanced to Doyle with interest t 6 per cent per annum.

Iowa Mate News Notes. Farm hands In Iowa get better pay than the average wagea for teachers in the common schools. Dellnauent tax lists In Iowa are the smallest In the history of the state. Farm taxes are almost universally paid up. The Des Moines man who is lost In Dark est Africa Is like a good many other people who get Into trouble. Me wanted to wear diamonds. A net profit of $1,750 on six acres fa rather handsome, and that Is exactly what A. Baker, near Davenport, realized this season on six' acres of onions. The latest religious novelty Is a church census at Tama, the canvass showing that less than one-third of the population regu larly attend worship. When Iowa editors are robbed of $1,300 In money and diamonds, as C. A. Fry of Clinton was the other day, It Is useless to cavil at the evidences of prosperity.

A curloue- application for an Injunction has been filed by Mrs. Dora B. Casey In the Woodbury county district court. It prays for a restraining order to prevent her husband from murdering her. W. I Eaton, speaker of the Iowa house, haa been hotly assailed lately by the woman suffragists as being the cause of the failure of their constitutional amendment, but he comes back with the retort that the failure is solely due to the stupidity and Ignorance of the coirfmlttee of women suf fragists who had charge of lobbying the measure.

TROOP SHIPS ARE MODELS Foreign Nations Want Plans with View of Improving Thsir Own. SICK PROVIDED WITH EVERY COMFORT Quartermaster Thinks These Vessels Should Not Be Sold at a Sacrl. flee, hot Retained for an Emergency. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. The annual re port of General M. I. Ludlngton, quarter master general. Is a review of the work done by his department during the year. The most interesting feature is what he has to say regarding the transports, in view of the desire in some quarters to dispose of them. He says that tbe ships are fitted up in the best possible shape for the transpor tation of troops, and that representatives ot foreign nations have asked for plans of the fittings with a view of Improving their transports. The report continues: Nearly every ship sailing from Manila had on board about H10 sick, who were provided with 'Very attention and comfort in the transport hospitals that would be found, In any well regulated hospital ashore. Of the many thousands of persons who have been transported on the vessels of the army transport service since Its inception, not one life haa been sacrificed by reason of any fault in the fittings or accommo datlona upon the army transports. In view of thia excellent record, and of the experience of the department In Its futile efforts to secure suitable commer cial ships for the tranxportatlon of the armies during the war with Spain, and the further fact that when withdrawn from active service transports cannot be ad vantageously dlH posed of by sale, I am firmly convinced that, even though circum stances should permit the withdrawal of the trannports from regular line service to the Philippine Islands. It would be wise policy to retain a sufficient number of transports as a part of the equipment or the army to be economically cared for and kept In auch condition as to be promptly available for any emergency which may arise requiring tbe transportation of troops on the ocean.
