A special to the Helena Independent on
Wednesday says j. K. Pardes was ar
raigned before Probate Judge Emerson
that afternoon for preliminary examina-
tion for throwing dynamite at Philipsburg,
and was discharged. The evidence went to
show that Mr.. Pardee had his men work.
ing at the place the railroad wanted to
cross on his ground, previous to the
railroad company putting their men
TO work. 1t was shown in
the examination that on the morning Of
the affair Mr.. Pardee notified the men who
were working for the railroad that he was
going to set off the giant powder and gave
them five minutes in which to leave; but in
order for him to be doubly sure he was
right, be waited twenty minutes before he
set of the powder. Mr.. Pardee acted as
his own counsel, and County Attorney

The A. O. U. w. and Bro. Kern.

BUTTE CRY. September 6.-[ro the Editor
ofthe Miner. II wish to make a correction
OF the MINERS statement of September s,
regarding the A. o. o. W. keeping my hus-
band at Warm Springs and maintaining
me and my family during his stay there.
The A. o. U. W. did not directly or indi-
rectly keep my husband at the insane
asylum or contribute single iota towards
me or ny family's support. They paid his
lodge dues and assessments and buried him
in fraternal manner, and that consti.
tutes the benefits derived.
Mrs. G. w. KERN.
In regard to the above THE MINERS
statement was an error as to the local
lodge, A. o. q. w., having supported Mr..
Kern 1T the Insane Asylum as there are no
paid pa tients at that institution, none but
those sent there at the expense OF the Ter
ritory. A member of the lodge states.
however, that he himself in one instance
was the almoner OF the lodge in extending
aid to the family and that the lodge kept
up the deceased brothers assessments dur
ing the time he was there, which they were
under no obligation to do, and but for
which the widow would not have received
the 50, 900 benefit which accrued to her by
her husbands death. This much in vindi.
cation OF The MINERS informant.

THE SURE THING CANES.
The Measure of Relief That the Ordinance
to be Drawn Will Afford.

A member OF the executive branch OF the
city government, speaking OF the action Of
the City Council concerning ''sure thing
games running under license from the city
yesterday, said that the powers OF the
Council in the matter were absolute. The
Council is not q judicial body governed by
the rules OF evidence. Under the new ordi-
nance to be drawn by tho City Attorney
they can be and no doubt will be sup
pressed. The ordinance will expressly give
the Council authority TO revoke any
license granted for cause. If any moro
cases of complaint arise, the person ag-
grieved can appear before the City Council
which will hear his statement and examine
into the facts, and if it is shown that the
license is being used as a cloak to cheat the
people it will be revoked. OF course it will
not do to take second hand evidence. The
person who makes the complaint will
have to show reasonable cause to believe
that the games are not fair games of
chance, that they are. as alleged, more or
less robbers, so as to convince the Council
that they are unworthy OF being licensed
when it will act accordingly.
