FOILED FAKIRS.
The Tea Men Recover Their Tin Box,
but Are Still In Butte.

The Tea Men Recover Their Tin Box,
bat Are Still in Butte.
In Justice Nichols court yesterday the
slander case OF the City Editor Of THE
MINER VS.. Tea Fakir" Pickert, Tea Fa-
kir" Jeffries and ''Tea Fakir" Lewis was
dismissed upon demurrer filed by defend
ants attorney. The demurrer was upon
the following grounds:
First-Because the facts stated in said
complaint do not constitute q public of.
tense.
Sec0nd-Because there is no such crimi.
nal offense under the statutes of Montana
Territory or at common law as criminal
slander.
Thlrd-Because complaint is ambipuous.
uncertain and unintelligible in this, that
the same does. not show upon its face
whether the defamatory words or sentences
were used by words verbally spoken; or
even in writing, or whether it was slander
or criminal libel.
The County Attorney admitted that the
complaint was defective. 1t may not be
amiss to explain that the complaint was
hastily drawn at q late hour Saturday
night, for the sole purpose Of preventing
the depa rture Of the 'fakirs" from the city
until civil suit could he entered against
them. A complaint charging Jeifries and
Pickert with slander, and claiming damages
in the sum OF SIC, 900, was drawn up last
night at the instigation Of the City Editor
OF this paper, and will be filed to-day with
the clerk OF the District Court.
Yesterday morning the "fakirs'' got
wind Of the fact that civil complaint was
being prepared against them, aud they
played desperate card. "Fakir' Pickert
appeared before Judge Mediation and
entered complaint against C. Q. Ziegsnfuss.
j. c. Crawford. Phil. Julien, Moritz Koch
and w. P. Schussler, attaches OF The
MINER, charging them with defa ming his
character (?) by publishing the article con.
cerning his fake which appeA red in
Saturdays issue OF this paper. He also
made second complaint charging the
same defendants with threatening to injure
the property and person OF plaintiff by
extortion and blackmail. The defendants
appeared before Justice Mediation and,
furnished bonds for their appearance when
wanted, and the transparent "b'uff" OF the
infuriated ''lakir' was matter of amused
comment among all who heard OF it..
The 'fakirs' recovered their tin box yas-
terdsy, and last night their gAu,e wa in
full blast, The brass band attracted peo-
pie to their store, and they succeeded in
fleeing few persons who don't read the
newspapers. 'Fakir" Pickert was howling
drunk during the evening, and uttered in
sane threats against THE MINER and all
with it. His vapid mouthings
created much Amusement. and drew upon
him no small amount OF 't.joshing.'

LABOUCHERE's VIEWS.
He Thinks That Gladstone Will Resign
ana the Tories Take Once.

He Thinks That Gladstone Will Resign
ana the Tories Take Once.
LONDON, July 11.-Labouchere in an in-
terview to day, said: II am confident
that Gladstone will resign and that the
Conservatives will take Office. Any coali-
tion between the Tories and Unionists can
not last twenty minutes-Chamberlain and
Caine are the only two worth considering.
The liberal defeat arises from Gladstone's
failure to make the land bill clear, the Rad
icals not seeing the force OF buying out the
landlords. The cry of "three acres and a
COW" has not done any good. It would
have been better to have talked OF .:half an
acre and a calf" The laborer would un-
derstand that. l do not think that the
Tories will adopt the Home Rule
policy. 1t is not to their -intessst
to settle the Irish question, but rather to
keep it open. The Tories used Chamber
lain nicely. but he does not see it. They
will throw him over when it suits their pur-
pose. 1t will be a long time before the
Irish question is settled. 1t cannot posi-
bly, be settled by next Parliament. The
counties knew nothing OF. the question.
When they will have been educated, Mr..
Gladstone will win hands down. This will
be the great work of the Radicals in the
immediate future.

We called at A. NJ. Pride's pulp
mill last week and found everything
running like clock work. He inform.
ed us that since the placing Of the new
grinders this spring they were turning
out the best quality of pulp which they
found ready sale for on the market
They ship from two to three carloads
each week and have orders ahead most

the pleasure of witnessing the sharpen
ing of a stone. 1t is done in novel
