Mayor Macrae yesterday authorized Chief
Richmond to make all the necessary ar

the thousands of visitors who are expected
In Council Bluffs during the week of the
state firemen's tournament.
Chief Richmond will enter Into com
munication with the heads of the detective
bureaus In Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas
City, St, Joseph, Lincoln, Omaha, Des
Moines and other western cities with a
request thnt they each place a detective
for duty here during that week. In addi
tion to this the local force will be doubled
by the appointment of special officers.
It Is anticipated that the tournament
will attract a largo number of crooks and
confidence sharks to the city and valuablu
assistance In spotting such undesirable
visitors can be furnished by the detectives
from the larger cities. Every suspicious
character will at once be spotted, be ar
rested and unless ablo to give a satisfac
tory account of himself will be placed be
hind the bars and kept there until the
close of the tournament.
Police headquarters will be established on
the tournament grounds, which will be In

Although the tournament will not be

FOUR WEEKS OF BURNS CASE
Only Half Day's Session Held to Allow the
Jurymen to Visit Homes.
PLAINTIFF SPRINGS SURPRISE ON DEFENSE
Produces Memorandum Book of Rural
5honln( Doyle Had Worked on
the Bob Tall So. 2 Claim
In 103.
The fourth week of the trial of the Doyle
nurns mining suit closed yesterday with
only a morning session, Judge Thornell ad
Journing court at noon in order to permit
the members of the Jury from out df town
to return to thtlr homes to spend Sunday
with their families and enjoy a much
needed rest. The defendant, James F.
Burns, was still on the witness stand un
der cross-examlnaJlon by C. J. Hughes, Jr.,
when court adjourned.
The trend of Mr. Hughes' cross-examina
tion yesterday was to show that James
Doyle had worked on the Bob Tall No. 2,
Burns' denial notwithstanding. That this
was the case the plaintiff showed through
a memorandum book kept by the defend
ant during the years 1832 and 1893, while up
in the mining camp. In thla book Burns,
lrt his own . handwriting, had given Doyle
credit for a number of days' work on the
Bob Tall No. 2 during th months of Feb
ruary, March and April, ISM, and the
book was offered In evidence.
Questioning the witness regarding the
book and the entries in it, Mr. Hughes
asked:
"This represents work done by James
Doyle on the Bob Tall No. 2 In the months
of February, March and April, 1898?"
"It docs," replied Burns,
"And you wrote it la the book?"
"I did."
"Now, Mr. Burns, having looked at this
book and having seen this account In which
Doyle is put down as working so many
days on the Bob Tail No. 2, do you remem
ber his working there?"
"I don't, only through that book."
The book in question, which proved such
a valuable piece of evidence for the plain
tiff, was one of the exhibits In the suit of
O'Halre against Burns and became one of
the exhibits fllud with the bill of excep
tions when that case was tnken to the su
preme court of Colorado. It was produced
by the defendant at the former trial, but
this time Mr. Thomas, counsel for tho de
fense, stated he had been unable to secure
it from the clerk of the court, the latter
refusing to allow it out of his possession
again. In some manner Doyle succeeded In
securing the book, it reaching here yester
day, when it was sprung as a surprise on
the defense.
The cross-examination yesterday was en
livened with occasional tilts between tho
opposing counsel and on adjournment of
court Burns' memorandum book, to which
counsel for the plaintiff hung tenaciously
was the cause of a short, wordy encounter
between Mr. Thomas and Mr. Wright, In
which both passed the He direct. This was
but one Incident which marks the bitter
ness with which the case is being fought
by both aides.

IOWA MA DROPS FROM SIGHT
A. T. Marvin, Atlantic. I'lano Mer
chant, Mlsslnir for a Week.
ATLANTIC, la., April l.-(Special Tele
gram.) A. T. Marvin, the pioneer piano
merchant of Atlantic, left town very mys
teriously and without having previously
told his family of his Intent a week ago
and neither Mrs. Marvin nor the ion Leon
have the slightest Idea of his present
whereabouts.
Last Sunday afternoon Mr. Marvin
came down town as he frequently
does on Sunday afternoons. When.he had
not returned home at dark, memfrs of
the family came down town and to the
store near the corner of Chestnut and Sixth
streets. He was not there, but on his desk
was a letter to the son Instructing him to
take charge of the business, close It out
and settle up matters to the beat of his
ability. Since then nothing has been heard
of him.
It was supposed for a time that he might
be with his daughters In Omaha, but they
have been heard from and he Is not there
nor has he been there.
The eon Leon this afternoon said he Im
agined his father's mind waa deranged
and thnt there was no telling where he
was. He might have gone to & daughter
In the state of Washington or to his old
home In the east, but all that waa merely
hazard. He said he had Immediately no
tified all tho pUino and music companies
with whom his father dealt to send repre
sentatives here to assist In straightening
matters out and closing up the business.
Ife said he believed his father's condition,
If his mind Is deranged, has been caused
by business reverses some years ago. He
