BURNS CONTINUES STORY
Direct Examination Probably Will Esquire
Another Day.
CROSS EXAMINATION SEVERAL MORE
Denies that He Promised to Give
Doyle More Stork When Litiga
tion Over the Portland
Waa Concluded.
The direct examination of James F.
Burns, the defendant In tho Doyle-Burns
suit, occupied the entire day yesterday und
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 special purpose of
cross-examining Mr. Burns.
Mr. Burns, aa 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. His 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 was as follows:
Burns Continues Testimony.
E. M. Stevenson, who went to Cripple
Creek with O'Drlscoll and I, left ua No
vember 24, 1891. O'Drlacoll, O'Haire and I
relocated tho Devil's Own on January 22,
1S92. Doyle, O'Drlscoll and I iiullt a cabin
near Wilaon'a creek, which we occupied up
to the time of the-fight with O'Drlscoll
and O'Haire. After that tlnie we never
went back to the cabin. Shortly after Feb
ruary 2 Doyle and I located some claims In
Fremont county. Doyle and I went to work
sinking the discovery shaft on the Portland
February 7. 1892. I helped Doyle sink that
shaft at that time and he in turn helped
me with the discovery shaft on the Piof.
Gribbs. My sisters, Jennie and Kate, wero
the ones that supplied me with money dur
ing the year 1192. During the summer and
early fall of 1K92 I tried to secure a settle
ment and partition of the claims with
O'Haire and O'Drlscoll. Frank G. Peck
acted as the gobetween and on October 10
of that year O'Haire 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 1 struck the same vein
on the Bob Tall 2. i the early fall of 1892
Harnan offered to J over a vein on the
Portland for a quart Yiterest In the same.
1 wrote to Doyle all the matter and he
authorized me to m that arrangement.
After Harnan found' veln on the Port
land, about December, l, we went down
to Colorado Springs, w. Dovle had been
since the middle of Au v and executed a
deed to a third Interest the Portland to
Harnan. I had given Hi Wn the quarter
interest In the Devil'a Ow. for protecting
it and doing work upon It." At Christmas
time in 1892 I sold Peck a quarter Interest
In the Bob Tail 2 for- 3600, and used this
money In procuring the patent on Bob Tall
2 and Portland. Ikiyle knew of thla. Doyle
never did any work on the Devil's Own at
ay ilm.e f0?' HRrnan anl myself sold
the Bob Tail 2 to Devereux tnd we re
ceived 37,000. Harnan took a fourth of the
mcmeL pf ck a fourth an1 j one-half. Doyle
and I had sold out a two-thirds interest In
the Portland to Finn, who paid ua 310 000
F-0" received 16,000 of thla amount and i
la.000. Harnan had made a separate con-
ir"?, wJth Jin? tor hu Interest In the
Portland. Condon, Stratton. Valle and
some others organized the Portland Gold
Mining company. About the 30th of March,
1894, the purchasers said they could not
P,30".1, and offered 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
n.aiLy -rranged that we were to receive
600,000 shares of Block for the Portland
Doyle received his full share of the stock
less 45,000 sharea that were Issued onTe
count of the Portland bonded lease, and
800,000 shares were Issued for the Bob Tail

TWO IIOISEBHEAKEHS Rljr DOWN
Deputy Sheriff Gronevrea; Makes la
Good Catch.
Deputy Sheriff W. A. Groneweg made a
good catch yesterday afternoon when, after
a long chase, he rsn down and captured
two strangers who had broken into the res
idence of former City Electrician James G.
Bradley on Harrison street. The men gave
the names of Ed Burns and Charles Moore,
and from their own statements and articles
found on them are believed by the police
to be members of an organised gang of
tfurglars.
After dinner yesterday afternoon Mr
Bradley drove her husband to the city hall
and returned without delay to her horns.
On putting the latch key In the front door
aha discovered the door waa unlocked, but
that Bhe 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 ths
alarm but before assistance arrived the
men, seeing they were discovered, rushed
from the house and across lots to First
street. Crossing the yard of Gus Ilelaler,
Mr. Hsisler made an attempt to stop them,
when they each drew a revolver on hlrn
and warned him to keep off.
Deputy Sheriff Groneweg was driving n
Washington avenue when the hue and cry
was begun and hs at once started to head
the men off. At Scott street he saw the
men making their way over Oakland avenue
and hs called to them to halt, They only
ran the faster, and Deputy Groneweg,
abandoning his horse and buggy, started
after tksai an (got, it the sum time tak
ing several shots at the, fleeing men. Reach
ing North Sixth street the men, with Grone
weg close at their heels, ran Into the
kitchen of the residence of former lire
Chief John Templeton. They had hardly
finished telling Mr. Templeton that a man
had attempted to hold them up when
Groneweg 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 reached 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 ?of 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 srrlved 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 realised
they were up against It and were ready to
take their medicine, which they hoped to
make aa 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'Brien
President W. F. Bechtel, First Vice Presi
dent A. F. Tliiimel .and Secretary-Treasurer
Fred J. Sackett have resigned, and a
committee of Minneapolis citizens, com
posed, of Mayor Jones, former Governor
Llnd, B. F. Nelson find A. E. Earl, have
been appointed to select their successors.
The Northwestern Mutual Life 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
1687, when the Pythian Life association waa
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. P. -Bechtel as president
of the concern. Later, It Is reported, the
Pythlans 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
organized, 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
waa 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 Bay the seizure of the company Is
no surprise to them at this time.

Official In His Duty I
' Tha case of Barada against McKay, rela
tive to the occupancy of certain lands on
the Omaha Indian reservation, will be
argued on a demurrer by the government
before Judge Mungcr 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 landa In
question on the ground that he waa not an
allotee and that his lease had expired.
Barada excepted to this nctton 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 waa trans
ferred to the United Statee 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
