HI SMOKE HOUSE.
"o" the Case was not Tried In tho mis-.
trict COurt.

During the past winter the public has been
MUCH exercised over the trouble likely to
slo" out OF the development of the Smoke
house mining claim, the boundaries of which
IL y well known inclose SOM of the most val
uaoie real estate property in the city. At a
iate session of the grand jury the owners of
The mine were indicted for obstructing
a certain public t~horoughfare of Butte and on
Monday in Deer Lodge the cause came up for
trial. Overs dozen men, who had been sum-
moned to attend the trial, either as witnesses
or~defendants were present and it was contiden-
lily expected that All important matter would
be brought to a final issue. The, proceedings
began with a great show of earnestness and a
large crowd OF spectators filled the hall. After
considerable delay in securing a jury suitable
alike to the prosecution and defense, twelve
good men and true were empaneled. The
prosecution then stated the case to the jury, and
MIR. Napton, in a very able argument moved
to set aside the indictment for the reason that
it was signed neither by the foreman of the
jury nor the District attorney. The latter,
however, claimed that having pleaded to the
indictment, no technical objection to the trial
OF the case could be legally raised. The point
was exclusively discussed on either side un-
til 11:30 O'Clock, when the prosecution asked
for an adjournment of court to enable him to
consult some authorities. On the reas-
sembling of the court the debate was renew
ed with increased vigor but finally Mr.. Nap
toms motion was o%verruled, and the trial OF
the case was ordered to be proceeded with.
Mr.. T.. B. Harper was the first witness called
for the prosecution. He testified to a knowl.
edge of the shaft in question, but did moi
know who sank it. Other testimony of a very
uncertain and unsatisfactory nature, was ad.
duced in the course of his examination, last
ing about half an hour, and Mr.. L. w. Fostel
was next called to the stand. Mr.. Foste
speedily informed the examining attorney
that the hole in question had been filled up
whereat MI. Mayhem, looking very astonish
ed, asked the Judge to enter a nolle, for tn
reason that the court was called upon tt
abate a nuisance which had already cease
to exist. This it is believed was the onl
course left open to the District attorney, an
his Honor, without any hesitation accede
to Mr.. Maybe VS. request. This unforsee
collapse of the case raised a loud laugh in tn
court room, and the witnesses and defendant
in the case all went out and took SOM

IS said that quite a dramatic scene took

chorus ofsobs, and on sentence being pro.
nouneed, tainted outright to all appearances.
consciousness was soon restored aud II was
remarked as a very singular circumstance that
the doctor, while the fit lasted, retained his
color remarkably well. No sympathy is ex-
pressed FOR his fate as the inhumanity with
which he treated the little boy whom he kid
mapped is well understood by the public.
Deer Lodge is not as lively as it usually is
during the session of the court for til. reason
that in the cases tried so far, fewer Jurors and
witnesses have been summoned. When the
mining cases come up for hearing, however,
times will probably improve as a large mum
Der OF witnesses will be s~ubpnnad from Phil
ipsburg aid other camps.
The situation of affairs at the Trout mine
remains in stdtu quo but important develop
ments are expected in a few days. 1t is UNI
derstood that Mr.. Caplice has offered a COM
promise to the miners in possession which
was rejected in toto, The basis of the propo-
sition was for the interested parties to agree
upon the selection of some reputable man who
should be empowered to examine the books
of Caplice & Smith with a view Of ascertain.
ing what amount if any is still due the firm
from the Northwestern company. If it should
be found that the profits of the mine during
the management of Mr.. Caplice are insufficient,
to balance the cost of recent development anC
the previous Indebtedness OF S12, 900, it wa.
asked that Mr.. Caplice should be restored to
viz SuPCiiilChtViCy VI JIG lille until Il
should produce enough ore, clear ofexpenses
to square the account, the receipts and expen
ditures in the mean time to be intrusted tt
the care of the receiver. This proposition, j
is said, was promptly refused by the miners
who demand the immediate and uncOndition
al payment Of the full amount alleged to b
due them for labor performed, ~aggregating
according to good authority. about S2s, 900
The outcome ofthe difficulty is yet impossible
to %foresee. Some Off GERS will probably b.
dispatched to the scene of the disturbance to
morrow and the hope is INDUCED that TIN
parties in possession of the mine will submit
to the adjudication Of the court, as upon re
Election they will likely conclude that by thi
means only can they be assured of properl
securing their just dues.

The Miners Refuse to be Arrested by
Sheriff McAndreWA.

From the mail carrier who arrived last
officers, McAndrews and Smith, who went to
the Trout mine to arrest the men holding
forcible possession of the same, were unable
to accomplish their mission and it is said did
not serve the papers. They went to The mine,
however, and discussed the situation with the
men holding it in charge and were given dis
tinctly to understand that no surrender would
be made aud no compromise effected. They
stated that the only basis on which the diff
Guilty would be amicably settled was the
unconditional payment of the full amount
claimed to be due, and that until such pay
ment shall be made or the profits of the mine
become sufficient to balance the acco Int, the
property will remain under its present con-
troll. The officers Oh learning this ultimatum
and convinced that certain death would fol-
low any attempt to serve the papers, with
drew and returned to Deer Lodge TO inform
the court. The carrier states that the pre-
vailing impression in Philipsbmy is that the
men will resist to the last any effort to COM
pei their surrender. They are now said to be
working the mine, their number having been
reinforced sufficiently to enable them to keep
a strong guard on the surface. There are no
fewer than sixty men in present possession.
What course the court will pursue in enforcing
lis mandates is not positively known, bu
is quite likely thai Judge Galhraith will call
on Governor Potts for troops and tolerably
certain that they will be- supplied.
