100000 Company Formed.

Then followed litigation against
other claimants. These We're finally
successfully ended in court and then
Harnan, Burns and Doyle organized a
100000 mining company under the
laws of Iowa, with the main office in
Council Bluffs. 1t was at this point
that Iowa got interested. A year Or
two later, in 1898, they mete at Council
Bluffs for the annual meeting and then
Doyle brought suit against Burns FOR
s1,000,000, claiming that Burns and his
sister held stock in trust that really
belonged to Doyle and that they re-
fused to repay tt All three men by
this time had become nillionaires, so
rich had the Portland mine proven TO
be.
Then began the long litigation that
ended in compromise at Colorado
Springs a few days ago. Doyle got
judgment in the Iowa courts at first
for $4,000. Burns paid no attention
to this suit but started suit in Colo
RADIO and secured an injunction against
Doyle prosecuting his suit in Iowa on
the claim that both being citizens OF
Colorado, the only courts having jnr-
isdiction were the Colorado courts.
When Doyle secured his judgment he
was cited for contempt and tho mil
lionaire was put in Jail for six months
and treated as was any other prisoner
but suffered without murmur.
Litigation in Two States.
Then Burns took cognizance Of the
Iowa litigation and filed a motion ask
ing that the judgment be set aside,
Ut ho in a
meantime appealed the Colorado case
to the supreme court but it sustained
the lower court. After the judgment
was set aside in Iowa Doyle was re-
leased from JAIL The Iowa court in
setting aside the judgment had made
it conditional on. the dissolving of the
injunction against Doyle in Colorado.
Then the litigation began in the
Iowa courts in dead earnest Each en-
gagged the best attorneys they could
secure Burns was represented by for
mer Governor Thomas of Colorado.
and Congressman Smith of Council
Bluffs: Doyle was represented by Sen
ator Patterson of Colorado and Mr..
Baldwin of Council Bluffs. Doyle won
verdict on the first trial of $446,-
922.73 and Burns had to put up bond
of s750,oo0 in order to get it appealed
TO the supreme court The supreme
court reversed 1t and remanded it for
another trial.
On the second trial Burns won and
Doyle appealed to the supreme court
and again 1t was reversed and re-
manded for a new trial. This was some
months ago and another trial would
have been had shortly but for the
compromise, the terms of which none
will disclose.
1t is said by those who claim to know
that Council Bluffs attorneys, there
being several on each side In addition
to the principals, got 100000 in fees
out Of the litiga ton. Burns and Doyle
are each millionaires and have each
become figures in Colorado politics
Harnan Is also a millionaire. He KEEP
out of the litigation and saved his
money and now lives in Chicago.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Under the Hepburn railroad rate
law, common carriers were prohib,
tied from transporting a com
modify, other than lumber, IN
which they had ANY interest, di-
rect or indirect. In a test case
tried before the circuit court for
the sd Federal District, the act
was declared unconstitutional on the
ground that it violated the FEEDER
al Constitution by depriving the
roads of their property without
due process Of law. The Supreme
Court in a decision rendered this
week reversed the lower court and
decided that ownership of stock
by common carriers in companies
whose products they transport
Goal mines for instance) does not
constitute legal interest" with
i'll the meaning of the law. While
the decision is not very clear to
the lay mind it appears to decide
that while Congress has power to
enact legislation to prevent rail
roads from owning stock its inten-
ton was not made clear in the law
under consideration. What furth-
er action Congress will take re-
mains to be seen, The evil of fav-
oritism in rates and car supply to
companies controlled by the rail
roads are against independent ship
pers has practically been cured
But the railroads stopped such
abuses because of the action of
Congress. The intention of Con-
gress was clearly right has been
upheld, the law should be en-
enacted in language that will meet
the objections stated by the court.
