FAMOUS CASE ENDS.
Perennial DoyIe-Burns Suit Is Settled
Out of Court.

Council Bluffs, Ia, Oct. 5.-The ia
nous Doyle-Burns mining suit, which
has been in the courts of this state for
several years, has been settled and this
afternoon in the district court at Glen
wood, Mills county, where the case
was to have come up again next week
a stipulation was filed, signed by attor-
neys from Council Bluffs and Denver.
Each side is to pay the costs in the
case which amount to many thousands
of dollars. The terms of the settle
ment are not divulged in the stipula-
ton and can not be learned. This case
has three times been tried.
was Over the Portland Nine
Denver, Oct 5.-The Doyle-Burns
suit is one of the most noted in the
history of mining litigation. Doyle
and Burns were the discoveries of the
great Portland mine at Cripple Creek.
After disposing of the property to a
stock company. suit was filed in Colo
RADIO by Doyle against Burns, asking a
million dollars as his share of the
transaction. Burns secured an injunc-
ton prohibiting Doyle from bringing
action in Colorado courts, which in
junction was ignored by Doyle, who
spent some months in prison for con-
tempt of court. After his release
Doyle took the case to the Iowa courts
and was given a judgment for $780,
600. Burns appealed the case and Sc
cured a new trial He was given a
verdict in his favor, upon which Doyle
appealed the case again and it was the
retrial secured by Doyle which was to
have been heard when the suit was
settled.

Shawnee County Good Roads
Association Organized.
Vice President for Each Town
ship will Be Chosen.
HELP STATE MEETING
Local Society Will Look After
the Arrangements.
Arthur c. jackson of Chicago
Makes a Speech.

At a meeting of the good roads COM
mittee of the Commercial club at the
club rooms this noon, the Topeka and
Shawnee Good Roads association was
organized. The following officers were
chosen: President, Henry McAfee;
secretary and treasurer, C. D. Skin
ner.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
vice president be appointed from
each township of the county and an
other vice president from each cor
porate city in the county.
The officers and County Commits
sioner O'Neil were appointed a COM
will meet at the Commercial club
rooms every Tuesday noon until after
the meeting of the State Good Roads
association which will be held at Fort
Scott, Nov. $40.
The object of the county association
will be to look after the state meeting
and also the national meeting which
will be held in Topeka, December
1415.
Governor Stubs issued a proclama
this afternoon. He has also sent
twenty-five invitations to twenty-five
delegates in each county, asking them
to attend the national convention.
Likewise Mayor Green is to send SIM
liar invitations to the mayors of the
cities of Kansas, and the Shawnee
county commissioners and county en-
gineers will ask the county commits
sioners and county surveyors over the
state to be present.
All of the Commercial club MEM
bers are to consider themselves MEM
bers of the county association.
These proposed preparations were
partly suggested by Arthur G. Jack
son, of Chicago, president of the Ma
tional Good Roads association, and
also president of the Illinois Good
Roads association. In speaking of
the work of the association Mr.. Jack
son said:
1.-The most effective way of securing
roads which will be a credit to the
state will be to organize the counties
into good road associations and thus
bring pressure to bear upon the state
legislature so that it will take some
definite action about the matter.
cit is the governments place to
make good roads, not the farmers
any more than it is their duty to per-
form any other public work.

era1 other states are already or
ganized."

FIRE AT ESKRIDGE.
Flames Consumed -Four Buildings and
EntaiIed Loss of $4,000.

Eskridge, Kan, Oct 5.-A fire which
originated in the r. n. Johnston bak-
cry about o'clock this morning from
an exploding lamp burned three frame
and one brick building and entailed a
loss of from eighteen to twenty thou
sand dollars. Insurance amounting to
from five to six thousand dollars was
carried on the properties destroyed, al
though one thousand dollars of this
amount is probably worthless as it was
carried in the Merchants Mutual COM
pany of Topeka for which receiver
was appointed last week.
The fire destroyed a feed store owned
nv r A. Southwick, the Tom Endsley
restaurant: the R. n. Johnston bakery
and the Bunker Mercantile company's
department store. The stock at the
latter place was valued at $4,000 and
insurance to the amount of $4,000 was
carried. one thousand dollars of this
being in the Merchants Mutual of To-
peka which is now in a receivers
hands.
Lincoln McCoy's real estate and in
surance office was also destroyed and
considerable damage done to adjacent
