Saunders and family had a narrow escape from asphyxiation Tuesday night, at their home on Fifth avenue, trom excaping gas from a hard coal heater. Mrs, Saunders arose during the night to attend one of her little daughters, who occupled an adjoining room and who com- plalned of feeling ill. Colomel Saunders was awakened and attempted to follow his wife to the children’s room, but fell.

DOYLE GAINS MORE POINTS | Scores Again in the Rulings of Court Celebrated Mining | .. | Jimmy Doyle, a8 he is famliilarly known | all over the state of Colorado, came out on top In a number of rounds yesterday in his famous mining sult against James F. Burns, president ot the Portland Gold Mining company. In the first place, he filed an amendment to his original petition to conform to the proof, and this the defense moved to strike | out, but was overruled by Judge Macy. | This was victory No. 1 for Doyle. Then the defense moved to transfer the case to the equity docket, on the grounds that the amendment changed the cause of action and made it one of equity instead of law. This the court also overpuled and Doyle acored victory No. 2. . Then the defense flled a motion for a continuance, contending that it was un.| prepared to meet at this time the new losues alleged to be set up in the amend- ment. Plaintiff's counsel asked for time to make a showing in resistance to the motion for continuance. This was granted and Judge Macy at 4 o'clock adjournca court until this morning at 8 o'clock when the plaintiff will be given an opportunity to make his showing In resistance to a continuance of the case. The jury was excused until 9:30 o'clock this morning. No evidence was taken yesterday and the entire day was consumed in the arguments on the several motions. The proceedings during the afternoon were enlivened by a tilt between Senator | Patterson and John N. Baldwin, which | brought forth a sharp rebuke from Jadge | Macy. It occurred when Senator Patter son opened his argument In support of the | motion to strike out the amendment, Mr. Baldwin having just closed his argument. The senator from Colorado accused Mr. Baldwin of hurling anathemas againsi counsel on the other side and the de- fendant and of being lacking in that courtesy due from one attorney to ans other. Mr. Baldwin replied to the accusation and referred Mr. Patterson to a certain remark he had made in the morning. This made the senator wroth and, bringing his fist_ down with considerable force on the table, he told Mr. Baldwin that he could not bulidoze him and that he (Mr. Baldwin) might as well realize that now as later on. At this point Judge Macy Interfered in the it “Stop, now, Mr. Patterson, 1 cannot per- mit this. There will be two attorneys less in conmectlon with this case If you gentlemen do not stop right now. Senator Patterson, you will be accorded fair. treat- ment, and this case Wil be conducted im- partially by me, but when I call you gen- tlemen to order you must understand that 1 mean what I say. We will now proceed with the case, without any more of these scenes, please. : The warning of the court had its effect and the rest of the afternoon was free from any trouble between the two eminent attorneys. On the convening of court counsel for Doyle flled an amendment to their original petition without waiting to take any fur- ther evidence. The defense claimed that the action of the plaintiff came as & sur- prise and asked for time to meet the new allegations in the amendment and Judge Macy adfourned court until the afternoon in_compliance with the request. The amendment alleged that the agree- ment between the plaintift and Burns was made solely for the purpofe of prospecting for, locating and developing mining claims upon the public domain in the Cripple then situated In El Paso and Fremont countfes, for their joint benefit and that it provided solely for the discovery and location and completion of mining claims and the acquisition of interests therein as the result of labor and expenditures of the plaintiff and detendant, In and upon claims the location that none of the mining claims referred to were at the time of the agree- ment perfected or completed lode mining claim locations, but that each and every one thereof was perfected under this agree- ment by the labor and expenditures of both the plaintiff and t defendant; that in | torth what accordance with this agreement the plain- tift performed labor, rendered services and furnished supplies and money for and upon every one of the claims referred to and Cut Prices on Millinery PENNELL MILLINERY, 41 Bresdway, Councll Blufta that by their Joiht efforts and expenditures for their jolut interests perfected the title thereto; that plaintift and defendant ceased to prospect and to make locations of claims after September 5, 1892, but contin ued the development and improvement of these claims until the same were patented and conveyed to the Portland Gold Mining compan The amendment as explalned by counsel restricted the agreement or contract be- tween Doyle and Burns so far as it re- lated only to the Bobtall No. 2, Tidal Wave and Devil's Own claims. Counsel for Burns moved to strike out the amendment on the grounds that it created a new cause of action, that it set was in fact a grubstake con- tract, that it changed the lssues and that the plaintiff should not now be permitted to set forth another alleged agreement, but should be compelled to stand or fall by the agreement as originally set forth in his petition. Thie motion was overruled by Judge Macy after several hours had been con- sumed in arguments. The defense then moved to have the case transferred from the law to the equity dockst on the grounds that the cause of action had been changed by the amendment and that the proper procedure for the plaintiff was to apply for an accounting between Burns and him, which would belong to a court of equity. This motion was also overruled by Judge Macy and then the defense filed a motlon for a continuance on the grounds that the averments of the amendment had takes Burns by surprise and he had in no manner before coming to Council Bluffs for the trial of this case taken adequate or any steps to dispute these averment- At this point Judge Macy wdjourned court until this morning, to give counsel for the plaintiff time to make a showing in resistence to the motion for a continu- ance, The contention of counsel for Doyle was ' that the amendment did not change the character of the agreement as originally relied upon, but simply restricted the terri- tory. FALLS FROM CAR TO DEATH b A Raph, Hand on Omnha & St. Louis, Breake Hin Neek, Jae ection Jacob A. Raph, a section hand in employ of the Omaha & the t. Louls raflroad, | was Kkilled yesterday afternocn while load- Ing tles on freight cars two miles west of Dumfries.

Gatchell brought suit in the | district court yesterday against J. B Eminger and Burton N. Waller to have the conveyarice of a lot in Voorhis' addition to Waller set aside and made subject to a Judgnient Eminger. Gatchell, on September 22 last. obtained a judgment secured by Gatchell agains. in the district court J. B. Eminger for $5 0 costs, which remains unsatisfl is alleged by Gatchell that Eminger, who is now an against inmate of the asylum at Clarinda, pur- chased in June, 1900, the lot In question |fiom W. 8. Harrison and wife, but that the conveyanee was made out to Waller for the purpose of defrauding Eminger's creditors. It also allezed that Waller took such conveyance with like intent and withe out paying any consideration therefor. Geichell asks that the conveyance to Waller be decreed to he fraudulent and vold and that both defendants be com- pelled to account for all money and prop- erty and eurrender same under direction of the court that plaintiff'’s judgment may be satisfled.

No. 11 1s acheduled to pass No. 1, the westbound limited, at Jefferson. No. 1 was late and Engineer Wheeler on No. 11 was given a blank order to take the siding at Carroll The dispatcher gave orders to the operator at the block at the east end of the Carroll yards to let No. 11 in on the ald- ing. Engineer Wheeler was pushing the train along at fitty miles an hour, thinking that he was to pull in at the station and then back in on the siding. When he found the switch open at the east end he applied the emergency brake and had slowed up to a specd of thirty-five miles an hour when he hit the cars.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Oct. 0.--(Special.)—The recommendation of the state labor commia- sloner of Towa, In his biennial report filed today, that the law prohibiting child labor in mines be extended to all factories and that the limit be ralsed from 12 to 14 Urlah McMacken, a property owner on | vears, discloses the fact that lowa is far South Sixth etreet, has served a notice on } behind the majority of states In this re. | Contractor.

Employment of children under 12 is for- un the street or proceed with the paving. | bidden in mines in lowa, but manufacturers last year voluntarily reported to the labor commissfoner the employment of 403 chil- Aren urder 14 years of age, and investiga- tion showed 604 in fact, while the actual number is doubtless much larger. Thers Commissioner Wennestrum, in his ninth blennial report of the bureau, recommends that the legisla- ture give this matter attention, in view of the growing numbers of factories in lowa. There are, in fact, 14,819 manufacturing eatablishments in lowa citles and towns, with 58,558 persons employed. The cap ftal employed amounts to $102,773,103, the wages pald in 1899 were $23,031,680, and the products turned out last year were worth $164.6 The commissioner, or his as. sistant, fnspected 328 factories to determine thetr condition. Aside from the disclosure of the employ | ment of child labor in the factorfes, it was found that very many are in bad condl. tion. Fire escapes were found on only twenty factorfes of 200 that were more than one story high. Dangerous machinery was found fn many. The sanitary condi- tion of the factories was found to be, on the whole, satisfactory, but in many it was dangerous and In several positively Intolerable. The commissioner recommends that \aken to | fYStem of factory inspection be established o | Fort Madison last evening by Sherift Cous- | [OF the state. which ought not to be ob. Jected to by the owners, because factory inspection decreases damage suits for per- sonal injury. In regard to heating and ventilation, the large factories are better than the small ones. Statistics regarding strikes and labor unfons are given; also statistics regarding several new industries, such as flax tow making for upholstering and beet sugar culture. The report Includes also several valuable papers read at the last national meeting of labor commissioners, an article City on the social and economic phases of the Amana soclety In Towa, an article on free employ- ment agencies in the United States by Mi; Kate B. Miller of Indlanola and an article on the Icarian soclety, now extinct. The commissioner recommends larger ap- propriations for the office, especlally that the state may be advertised and fts res sources made known. There are many de. mands for the information which the bu- reau gathers, but no funds for supplying this demand. Preparing for St. Louls Expost The commission informally appointed by Governor Shaw to take preliminary steps toward having Iowa represented at the Louisiana Purchase exposition at 3t Louis' met today, these being present: Lieutenant Governor J. C. Milliman, Logau; Senator A. B. Funk, Spirit Lake; Judge Wil- lam Logan, Keokuk; Robert H. Moore, Ot- tumwi Benator C. J. A. Ericson, Boon L. Young, Des Moines; Senator Willlam H Berry, Indlanola; Jerry Hartenbower, mayor of Des Molnes; ex-Representative Dave Brant, Chinton: S, M. Leach, Adel: W. T. Haywood, Des Moines, and 8. B. vans, Ottumwa. F. J. SKiff of St. Louis explained the preliminarfes of the exposition and gave the commission an outline of what was planned. The commission has no authority and can only make recommendations to the legisla- ture, but It was informally decided that the commission would have plans prepared for an lowa bullding and an lowa exhibit and that the legislature should be asked for an appropriation variously estimated at from $100,000 to $200,000. All members expressed themselves heart- ily in favor of Iowa belng represented at St. Louis and In favor of urging the legis- lature to make the appropriation. The belfef s general that the legislature will be more liberal than before. When the appropriation of $55,000 was gade for the ‘Transmississipp! exposition Towa was al- ready im debt beyond the constitutional limit and when the appropriation of $1 000 was made for the Columbian exposition at Chicago, the state's funds were very low. Now that the state treasury is well filled and there is mo debt the commission will formulate plans and undertake to secure the appropriation. Des Moines Man Missing. J. W. Canney, a tinner, has disappeared. Fears are entertained that he has been mur- dered. He was known to have had about $200 on his person. Canney drove to the city early last evening to meet his wife and lster, who were returning from a visit at Osceola. The trio remained down town' un- til about 9 o'clock. Returning home the two women went Into the house and Canney remained at the stable to attend to the horse. He secured a lantern to go to the haymow and his wife and sister waited a half hour. As he falled to appear they went to the barn, where they saw the lantern in the stall. They found his hat on the floor and his pockgthook In the alley. A little way from the barn they found a bunch of keys that he had carrled. Search was con- tinued all night without il Murder Reverned. The lowa supreme court reversed the case of Loren R.

They had quarreled in town and Al- lison threatened to kill Bone and the latter secured a knife and followed him to the edge of the town, where the fatal fracas occurred. Bone pleaded sclf-defense, and the reversal Is because the question of self- defense w not stated sufficlently plain to the jury.

No Crowds at Ca The feature >t the Des Moines carnival this year is that there are practically no crowds from outside the city and that the chief support of the varlous sldeshows in connection with It is coming from the res! dents of Des Moines. The fact that while there are a few street shows that are free, nearly all the shows charge an admission fee and In the case of the show of horses the prices are regarded as exorbitant, has got out and the result is that the carnival as a whole Is attracting such small crowds that the local committee Is already trying to figure up how much of a deficit it will have to face The wild west show Is on the state falr grounds, which are three miles east of the business center of the city, and the attend ance has been light A midway has been granted use of the river front and there in an admission fee into the corral and Into! each of the sideshows separately and one must pay for a seat afterwards. The horse show commenced this evening at the ball park. An unusually fine lot of horses have been entered in the varfous classes and | quite & number of horses have been brought here from other cities. The show will be Held each evening during the week at the base ball park. Members of Association from Many Western Clties Gather An. nual Conventlon.
