At a joint meeting of the West End and
West Council Bluffs Improvement clubs
held last night at the county building on
Avenue B and Twenty-fourth street It was
decided to demand that the city pave lower
Broadway with vitrified brick on concrete
base and that the width of the thoroughfare
be reduced to forty feet and the curba set
In to this distance. A committee of three
will draft resolutions embodying this de
mand, which are to be presented at the
next meeting of the city council.
The meeting was well attended and the
paving question Was vigorously discussed
before a consensus of opinion was reached
as to the width of the street should be
paved.
' While the two cluba will make this de
mand, they do not anticipate the whole
length of Broadway from Thirteenth street
to the motor bridge will be paved this
year. They do expect,'! however, and will
insist that the city make a start In the
matter and pave at least five or six blocks
this summer.

did not return Mrs. Johnson Is fearful
he carried out his threat. Hooton formerly
lived in Council Bluffs, and at one time
was before the commissioners on Insanity,

JURY IS DOYLE-BURNS CASE
Better Progress Made Than Anticipated on
the First Daj.
CASE INVOLVES ALMOST A MILLION
Great Array of Legal Taleat Llaed
I'p oa the Two tides of Fameas
Case Which Was Started
Severn Tears Ago.
Greater progress was made at the open
ing yesterday of tha second trial of tha
suit of James Doyle against James F.
Burns, former president of the Portland
Gold Mining company of Colorado, In which
nearly $1.0uO,o la Involved, than had been
anticipated. A Jury was Impanelled by S
o'clock In the afternoon and opening state
ments had been made by counsel for both
sides before court adjourned for the day.
The Introduction of testimony for the
plaintiff will be commenced this morning.
A special venire had been drawn for this
suit, but a Jury waa secured without ex
hausting the regular panel. These com
prise the Jury:
George M. Evans, farmer, Washington
township; Frank R. Levin, cigar manufac
turer, Council Bluffs; Nicholas Klrsch. far
mer, Keg Creek township; Oeorge T.
Miller, overseer of the poor. Council Bluffs;
C. O. Robinson, salesman. Council Bluffs;
Frank Spencer, retired farmer, Neola; G.
W. Parish, farmer. Hazel Dell township; J.
F. Puryear .school teacher, Council Bluffs;
Percy C. Dryden. farmer. Quick; Lewis
Peters, farmer, Boomer township: George
Ward, Jr., farmer, Boomer township; A. F.
Hollls, foreman Novelty Manufacturing
company. Council Bluffs.
Otj Judge Thornell convening court and
before the drawing of the Jury counsel for
the defense made formal objection to pro
ceeding with the trial pending the deter
mination of the appeal taken to the su
preme court from the ruling of Judge Thor
nell, overruling the motion to transfer the
case from the law to the equity docket and
ordering that the law Issues be tried before
taking up the equity questions In connec
tion with the suit. This was done by tha
defense In order to make the recoFd com
plete for future appeal If such should be
later decided upon.
Great Array of Leaal Talent.
As at the previous trial In 1901 each side
Is represented by a formidable array of
counsel.- The attorneys for Doyle are
Charles J. Hughes. Jr., and Scott Ashton
of Denver, John N. Baldwin, George S.
Wright and A. W. Askwlth of this city.
Burns' attorneys are Hon. C. S. Thomas,
I former governor of Colorado, United States
I Senator Thomas M. Patterson of Colorado,
Judge Gunnell of Colorado Springs, Con
gressman Walter I. Smith, State Senator
C. G. Saunders, Dillon L. Ross and Fllck
Inger Bros., all of this city.
The opening statement to the Jury for
the plaintiff was made by John N. Baldwin
and that for the defense by Mr. Thomas.
Their statements covered substantially the
same ground as at the former trial.
Up to last evening but few witnesses on
either side had arrived and It Is under
stood that the greater part of the testi
mony offered will be taken from the tran
script of the former trial. The case ap
pears to be attracting almost as much In
terest as before and' the' courtroom was
filled yesterday, a large, number of the
members of the local bar being present.
, Tte history of the case Is an 'interesting
one, not only from the fact that the
amount Involved Is nearly' $1,000,000, but
also from- the fact that tha litigation has
occupied tha attention of the courts up
to the present time over seven years, and
the expense to both sides has been
enormous. The expense of the prolonged
litigation can be better understood when
it is taken Into consideration that In 1901,
when Doyle secured a verdict In his favor,
It carried with It Judgment for costs
amounting to over $8,000 and that It cost
James F. Bums, the defendant, $25,000
alone to secure the supersedeas bond in
the sum of $660,000, necessary to effect an
arrest of Judgment and take the case to
the supreme court, where the finding of
the district court Jury was reversed..
Pending for Seven Years.,
Doyle filed his suit against Burns in the
district court here on February 7, 1898,
and in it he claimed one-half of the stock
Issued by the Portland company In pay
ment for three mining claims known as
the Devll'a Own, Bobtail No. 2 and Tidal
Wave, amounting In all to $868,000. Ser
vice waa secured on Burns while he was
attending the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Portland company In this
city. On returning to Colorado Burns se
cured an Injunction in the courts of the
state restraining Doyle from prosecuting
the suit in Iowa. Ignoring the Injunction,
Doyle In November, 1898. secured Judgment
by default In the court here against Burns
for $717,025. When Doyle re'urned to Vic
tor, Colo., of which town he was then
mayor, he waa arrested and confined In
Jail for eight months for contempt of the
Colorado court.
In August, 1899. the Judgment by default
was set, aside and Burns given leave to
defend, one of the conditions being that
all proceedings In Colorado against Doyle
be discontinued. The trial began In tho
dtotrlct court here in October, 1901, before
Judge Macy, but after a week had been
consumed In taking evidence, Doyle set
up new Issues In an amendment to his
petition and then the trial was started
afresh November 12 before Judge Green.
In his amended petition Doyle sued in all
. ""er a verdict for
446,92..73 with Judgment for costs amount
ing to $8,047 and Interest aggregating $H
was returned In Doyle's favor
tere lnrinndo'hat Doj"6 -had n In

The supreme court in .ending the , m

ONE DEATH IS CEDAR RAPIDS FIRE
Mgbt Watchman Only Has Killed In
Fighting the Flames.
CEDAR RAPIDS, la., March 8.-One man,
thrown from the sixth story of a building to
the pavement, was the only fatality In the
$1,500,000 fire which took place in this city
during last night, in the American Cereal
plant, the largest of Its kind In the world.
John Safely, the night watchman, had
gone to the sixth story of the hull house to
examfne the condition of the floor when
an explosion, occurred. Safely was either
thrown out of the building or else Jumped
to the pavement below. He was crushed
beyond recognition. 1
The fire departments from Bellplaln,
Vinton and neighboring points are here
assisting the local force to confine the
flames to the cereal plant.
The fire started from spontaneous com
bustion and spread so rapidly that tha
firemen were powerless. Several explosions
followed each other In rapid succession,
throwing sparks all over the city and
threatening other property.
Fire waa first discovered in the hull grind
ing room of one of the elevators and a sheet
of flame enveloped that structure. In ten
minutes more the flames had crossed tha
avenue to the mill group of buildings and
the firemen were pywerleBS to prevent the
spread of the flames in either direction.
The fire burned northward against the
wind slowly In the mill group and south
ward with the wind in the elevator group
with fearful rapidity. Five-story brick
wails crumbled and fell with a roar heard
for many blocks. Clouds of embers were
driven by a strong wind over an area six
blocks square, and a large number cf men
with small hose and buckets were drench
ing the roofs of these buildings, while in
the vicinity of the fire there was an exo
dus of families from dozens of houses.

The plaintiff eat under the bandstand. Tha
