DIVIDED BY POLITICS.
But the Portland Jims both wanted it,
and in this instance they could not even
up, share and share alike. Their friend
snip could survive the accumulation of
great riches but 1t could not pass through
the ordeal of politics. Then, too, a hand
some woman, usual, figures in the
case. Doyle wooed and won her, and in
stalled her in lovely home in Denver.
Burns Is bachelor. This was the sec
ond grievance. Love and politics caused
the severance Of the once beautiful
friendship
Doyle now rests In Jail in Colorado
Springs through the action of Burns. It
is claimed by Doyle that Burns felonious-
ly and surreptitfously sequestered stock
Of the Portland. So he sued Burns in
Iowa, where the Portland Mining COM
pany is Incorporated, for money claimed
to be due on Portland deal, and re-
ceived a judgment of 100000. Burns ap-
piled to Judge Lunt, OF Colorado Springs,
for an order restraining Doyle from get
ting his money and to surrender the
judgment Doyle refused to obey the
order of the court. Judge Lunt adjudged
him guilty of contempt, and directed that
unless within a specified time he purge
himself of such contempt by surrender
ing the judgment be be committed to Jail
until he did.
DOYLE IN PRISON
Since his Imprisonment Doyle has been
out several times on the streets of Colo
RADIO Springs with the deputy sheriff, but
one day recently the pair came across
Judge Lunt, who very emphatically re-
buked the deputy sheriff, insisting that
til such time as he would purge himself
from the charge of contempt. The ex-
cuse Of getting out to Sign some papers
was very weak in the eyes of the Judge.
AS the matter stands now, Doyle will
have to remain in jail unless he obeys
the order of Judge Lunt. Doyle Is cool
and composed, and presents a sharp con-
trast to the wiry, nervous manner Of
Burns, with his snow-white hair and
white mustache
This strange bleaching of nature dates
back to an experience in the Annie Lee
shaft, one Of the Portland properties. 1t
was in 1896 that dreadful disaster oc-
Cured in this mine. Foreman Sheldon
and Burns were down in the third or
fourth level Of the mine. Burns heard an
ominous crack and noise. He jumped to
the cage and assembled to the surface,
and hurried 1t back with words of warn
ing to rescue the foreman and others,
who were at work unconscious of the
impending danger. Two minutes later
came a crash, tumble and cavern of
what seemed the whole mountain side,
and Burns hair turned white as the cap
Of Pixies peak overhead at the awful
doom of Sheldon and eight men, whose
bodies were unearthed weeks afterward.
DOYLES CHARACTER.
One of the most remarkable facts con-
nected with the development of this pair
| of Croesuses is that as soon as fortune
| was assured Jimmie" Doyle eschewed
! intoxicating liquors and tobacco that his
| brain might be clear to handle the wealth
| bestowed upon him. If he ever becomes
| aware of the fact that he has nerves 1t
| will not be because of any dissipation, but
| will be due to the relentless struggle that
| he had to maintain his own in the race OF
| life. Today he is as healthy as any man
| who carried his bucket over the hills to
/ his work. Some men of Cripple Creek so
| to Colorado Springs to live.
Doyle is who never forsook the
camp that made him rich. but continued
to put his money into the ground whence
he had got much. In this way he fur
nished work for scores of Idle men. He
became president Of the Santa Rita mine:
