BURNS CONTINUES STORY
Direct Examination Probably Will B squire
Another Day.
CROSS EXAMINATION SEVERAL MORE
Denies that He Promised to Give
Doyle More Stork When Litiga
tion Over the Portland
Was Concluded.
The direct examination of James F.
Burns, the defendant in the Doyle-Bums
suit, occupied the entire day yesterday and
was not completed when court adjourned
for the day. It Is expected, however, that
Congressman Smith will be through with
the direct examination of the witness at
noon today and he will then be turned over
to Charles J. Hughes, Jr., counsel for the
plaintiff, for cross-examination, which it is
anticipated will last two or three days.
Mr. Hughes arrived yesterday morning
from Denver for the speclul purpose of
cross-examining Mr. Burns.
Mr. Burns, as on the previous day,
proved himself a good witness. While
naturally of a somewhat nervous disposi
tion his answers, however, are quick and
decisive and at no time evasive. Ills testi
mony yesterday covered a wide range of
matters bearing on his associations with
the plaintiff and the history of the mining
claims Involved In the suit. In substance
his testimony yesterday wag as follows:
Burns Continues Testimony.
E. M. Stevenson, who went to Cripple
Creek with ODrlsvoll and 1, left us No
vember 24, 1891. O Drlscoll, O'Halre and I
relocated the Devil's Own on January 22,
1892. Doyle, O Drlscoll and 1 jbullt a cabin
near Wilson's creek, which we occupied up
to the time of the fight with ODrlscoll
and O'Hairo. After that tlrrie we never
went back to the cabin. Shortly after Feb
ruary 2 Doyle and I located some claima In
Fremont county. Doyle and I went to work
sinking the discovery shaft on the Portland
February 17, 1892. I helped Doyle sink that
shaft at that time and he In turn helped
me with the discovery shaft on the Prof.
Orlbbs. My Bisters, Jennie and Kate, wero
the ones that supplied me with money dur
ing the year 1S92. During the summer and
early fall of 1892 I tried to secure a settle
ment and partition of the clajms with
O'Halre and O'Drlscoll. Frank G. Peck
acted as the gobetween and on October 10
of that year O'Halre and O'Drlscoll deeded
their interests. In the Bob Tall 2 and tho
Devil's Own to me and I conveyed the other
four claims to them. Harnan uncovered
the vein In the Portland at almost the
Identical time that I struck the same vein
on the Bob Tall 2. In the early fall of 1892
Harnan offered to discover a vein on the
Portland for a quarter Interest In the same.
1 wrote to Doyle about the matter and he
authorized me to make that arrangement.
After Harnan found the vein on the Port
land, about December, 1892, we went down
to Colorado Springs, where Dovle had been
since the middle of August, and executed a
deed to a third Interest In the Portland to
Harnan. I had given Harnan the quarter
interest In the Devil's Own, for protecting
It and doing work upon It. At Christmas
time In 1892 I sold Peck a quarter Interest
In the Bob Tall 2 for- $600. and used this
money In procuring the patent on Bob Tall
2 and Portland. Doyle knew of this. Doyle
never did any work on the Devil's Own at
?ily" H"le r.ac,k Harnan anl myself sold
the Bob Tall 2 to Devereux nd we re
ceived 37,000. Harnan took a fourth of the
""tey. Peck a fourth and I one-half. Doyle
and I had sold out a two-thirds Interest In
the Portland to Finn, who paid us 310 000
niyI0 rc'ved 35.000 of this amount and i
!L' H.!brnn na1 mftd a separate con
tH"?! wJth F,n,n for hta Interest In the
Portland. Condon, Stratton. Vaile and
some others organized the Portland Gold
Mining company. About the 30th of March,
1894, the purchasers said they could not
R??1i0mi and ottcrei to turn the Portland
Gold Mining company over to us. There
waa a great deal of discussion about the
ownership when all were present. It was
naJly ""rans-ed that we were to receive
600,000 shares of stock for the Portland
Doyle received his full share of the stock
less 46,000 sharea that were Issued 1 on ac
ll"J; .f the Portland bonded lease, and
300,000 Bhares were Issued for the Bob Tail
2. Twenty-one thousand shares of thif
went to Condon, Devereux and Crosby be

received about 38.100. Stratton also paid

good catch yesterday afternoon when, after
a long chase, he ran down and captured
two strangers wbo had broken Into the res

to be members of an organized gang of
Burglars.
After dinner yesterday afternoon Mrs.

and returned without delay to her home.
On putting the latch key in the front door
she discovered the door waa unlocked, but
that ahe could. not open it owing to some
thing having been placed against it on the
Inside. She started to go to the back door
and on looking In the dining room window
saw two men In the room. She gave the
alarm but before assistance arrived the
men, seeing they were d It covered, ruahed
from the house and across lots to First
street. Crossing the yard of Gus Helsler,
Mr. Helsler mads an attempt to stop them,
when they each drew a revolver on him
and warned him to keep off.
Deputy Sheriff Oroneweg was driving n
Washington avenue when the hue and cry
was begun and he at ones started to head
the men off. At Scott street ha saw the
men making their way over Oakland avenue
and he called to them to halt. They only
ran the taatrr, and Deputy Oroneweg,
abandoning his horse and buggy, started
after taesa a foot, at the (tuse time tak
ing several shots at tha fleeing men. Reach
ing North Sixth street the men, with Orone
weg; close at their heels, rsn Into the
kitchen of th residence of former Fire
Chief John Templeton. They had hardly
finished telling Mr. Templeton that a man
had attempted to hold them up when
Oroneweg reached the house. He ordered
the men to hold up their hands, which they
did, while Templeton went through their
pockets, relieving each of a loaded revolver.
When Beached at the city Jail the men
were found to have In their possession a
pair of russet leather opera glasses In a
blue plush bag. several Columbian half dol
lars, two one dollar gold pieces nnd a num
ber of silver half dimes. They made no
denial Tof having entered the Bradley home
by means of a skeleton key, of which they
had a number, but had been unable to se
cure any plunder before Mrs. Bradley re
turned home and discovered them. They
said they arrived In the city Wednesday
and that there were three or four other
fellows doing the same work here. Beyond
this the men declined to give any further
Information, but stated that they realized
they were up against it and were ready to
take their medicine, which they hoped to
make as light as possible by pleading guilty.

MINNESOTA SEIZES COMPANY
Affairs of Northwestern National Life
Insurance Company In
Charge, of. State.
CHICAGO, March 30. State Insurance
Commissioner O'Brien has taken charge of
the affairs of the Northwestern National
Life Insurance company of Minneapolis.
The action followed an Investigation of the
company's financial affairs, which were
found to be In a serious condition, accord
ing to Mr. O'Brien's report to Governor
Johnson. Commissioner O'Brien says, how
ever, that with competent management the
company can avoid bankruptcy.
At the direction of Commissioner O'BrleTt
President W. F. Bechtel, First Vice Presi
dent A. F. Tlr.imel .and Secretary-Treasurer
Fred J. Sackett have resigned, and a
committee of Minneapolis citizens, com
posed, of Mayor Jones, former Governor
Lind, B. F. Nelson 6nd A. E. Earl, have
been appointed to select their successors.
The Northwestern Mutual Ufe Insurance
company recently built the Minneapolis
Auditorium building on the promise from
a number of citizens, to secure 32,000,000
worth of business for. the company.
W. F. Bechtel, president of the North
western National Life Insurance company,
began his insurance career in Omaha in
1887, when tha Pythian, Life association was
organized, with Bechtel as president. On
September ' 8, 1892. .. the Pythian Life
amended Its articles fof incorporation and
changed its name to the Omaha Life asso
ciation, with W. F. 'Bechtel as president
of the concern. Later, it is reported, the
Pythians repudiated the company. In May,
1895, the Omaha Life' association was re
moved to Minneapolis and the name
changed to the Omaha Life association of
Minneapolis, with Bechtel still president.
During 1895 and 1897 this company absorbed
four smaller concerns. On January 21, 1895,
the National Mutual Life association was
irganlzed, which company later absorbed
the Omaha Life association of Minneapolis
and five other Insurance companies.
On January 31, 1901, the Northwestern
National Life Insurance company consoli
dated with the National Mutual Life and
at the same time swallowed several other
companies, all the while W. F. Bechtel
remaining president of the parent company.
The Northwestern National company
was examined by the Minnesota authori
ties last fall, which examination, it Is said,
did not satisfy ' the examiners as to the
stability of the company. Local Insurance
men say the seizure of the company is
no surprise to them lit this time.

CENSUS IS DISAPPOINTING
Assessors Find Leu Than Eight Thousand
People in Des Moines.
OTHER CITIES HAVE SIMILAR EXPERIENCE
Rural Districts Show a Decrease of
Population Slnre the National
Census Was Taken Five
Years Ago.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. March 30.-(8peclal.r-Though
the school census would Indicate
a population of 82,000 for Des Moines and
the directory census would Indicate 97,000,
according to Information from the assess
or a office this city Is liable to fall below
75,000. The figures are nearly all In and It
Is evident there will not be as many as
60.000 and there are Indications that about
70,000 will be the figure. The poetotflce cen
sus shows about 80,000. The figures from
other cities are beginning to come in. They
are given out by the assessors and not by
the executive council and so are not offi
cial, but the showing In rural districts Is
a decrease In the population. Cedar Rapids
is disappointed In not being bigger.

Has State Court Any Authority to In
terfere with a Government
Official tn His Dutyf
' The case of Barada against McKay, rela
tive to the occupancy of certain lands on
the Omaha Indian reaervatlon, will be
argued on a demurrer by the government
before Judge Munger In the United States
circuit court Friday morning. The de
fendant in tha case is Superintendent Mc
Kay of the Omaha reservation. He ordered
the removal of Barada from the lands In
question on the ground that he was not an
allotee and that his lease had expired.
Barada excepted to this action and secured
an injunction in the district court of
Thurston county restraining Superintendent
McKay and his Indian police from ejecting
him from the lands. The case was trans
ferred to the United States circuit court,
and recently Barada's attorneys filed a mo
tion to remand the case back to state
courts. This motion was overruled by
Judge Munger. The United States, by
District Attorney Baxter, has entered a
demurrer to the injunction obtained In the
state courts on the ground that a state
court is without Jurisdiction to enjoin a
government officer in the discharge of his
duty.

tions of the state and federal courts in
Indian land matters. The Interests of the
plaintiff, Barada, will be looked after by

tions point to their election by a god ma
jority. The campaign thus far has been
free from personalities,, although It Is
stated that at least one of the democratic
candidate Is retailing the story that the
policy of the republican candidates will be
to "Import" teachers and not employ South
Omaha glrla." The republican candidates
stand pledged for the employment of South
Omaha people In ' every case), ; everything
being equal, and the.foxt that -not a South
Omaha girl who has passed the examination
and wanted a position, but is either on the
regular or. the. extra liet. -together with
the fact that during the Inst two years
South Omaha girle have been given placea,
is proof enough of what their policy will be.
