FAkiR'S COARSE WORK.
Gathered a Rich Harvest In an Anaconda
Crowd Last Night.

According to an old adage a sucker
ds born every minute. If that is so
the product of an hour or so demon
strated its right to be in the sucker
class last night at the corner of Oak
and Commercial.
1t was just an ordinary, and not
particularly brilliant fakir, who work
ed all these suckers. He was selling
electric belts at 81 each from the seat
of hack, rafting away in the shout
ing patter peculiar to fakirs, black
guarding imaginary detractors on the
edge of the crowd and telling little
about the supposed merits of the belt
which he was selling
When rs or 80 belts had been sold he
offered to give 50 and a belt for every
81 given him. His 50 he would put in
hat with the purchasers 81 and mark
number on the purchasers purchase,
agreeing to give out the money later.
Then, in the course of his rambling
but energetic discourse, he borrowed a
dollar each from two men in the
crowd, Just because I'm a good fellow
and you want to see me have money"
Presently he returned these dollars
with a dollar interest on top of each.
He sold a few more belts, receiving
81 for each and putting So into the hat.
Then he said he wanted to borrow 500
from as many men in the crowd, Just
because I'm good fellow and you
want to see me have money"
The poor suckers bit and in a mo-
ment the $40 was up. The fakir put
the money and that which was in the
hat into a sack and the sack into his
pocket. And now, gentlemen" said
he to the crowd thanking you for
your kind attention, I'll bid you good
night Go ahead, driver"
The driver whipped his horses and
whirled the hack away, leaving a
crest-fallen crowd behind.
In all probability the same fakir viii,

GUSTAFSON ON TRIAL
Justice Frank Kennedy Takes HIS Case
Under Advisement--One OF the
Youthful Mountain View
Larcenists Pleads Guilty.

Justice Frank Kennedy's court room
was crowded last night when the t,ial
of Edgar Gustafson, charged with ,un-
ming over Clarence Thomas. the IA
months-old son Of B. F. Thomas of
521 East Third street, July II. Many
ladies We're in the audience. one Of them
the wife of the defendant, and the 9TH
ers the relatives and friends of the
Thomas child.
The charge against Gustafson had
been reduced from assault in the sec
ind degree to assault in the third de-
gree, misdemeanor, while that
against his brother, Oscar, who was
with him at the time, was dismissed.
A large amount of evidence was ia
ken. 1t went to show that the child
was sitting in the street as Gustafson
was driving by and that in passing it
the child was struck by the vehicle,
Knocked down and bruised There was
conflicting testimony as to the con-
duct of Gustafson at the time, one
side claiming that Gustafson drove
recklessly and made no effort to save
the child, while the other side assert
ed that he acted as if he had failed to
see the child until he was directly upon
II and then tried to prevent doing it
harm. Several witnesses testified to
the high character of Gustafson, who
lives at the corner of Fifth and Ad-
ans street.
The court took the case under ad-
visement.
We'll, judge, I swiped doughnut,
but Wargold stole the basket" said
little Charley Burns, who was arraign-

VIII have a hearing to-day at 10 a.
m before Justice Devine.
Mickey O'Connor, a suspect and
possible witness to the pilfering of
lunch baskets at the picnic, was taken
in by the sheriff's office during the day
to learn what he knew. The error of
his way was pointed out to him, to-
gether with the consequences if he
had bad associates.
How would you like to go to the
reform SCHOOL," asked a deputy.
Mickey looked uncomfortable and
said he didn't think he would like it.
And what would your mother say
If you get sent there?''
Mickey collapsed. My. mother, boo
hoo, would die if I went to the reform
school," he asserted, between sobs
Mickey was allowed to go free.
John Forbes and M. Green, the young
men arrested at Mountain View park
Sunday by Deputy Sheriffs DAILY and
Stevens, charged with stealing a coat
from a picnicker, were arraigned yes
terday before Justice Frank Kennedy
They pleaded not guilty and will have

An Anaconda Case in the United States

Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Special Dispatch 10 the STANDARD.
Helena, July T.-Judge Knowles to-
day heard arguments upon a motion to
show cause why F. c. Wills of Ana

terfering with the referee in bank
ruptcy's administration of the affairs
of Thaddeus Schay and Thaddeus Nous,
two citizens of Anaconda, who We're
adjudged bankrupts last September and
have never been discharged.
1t appears that Wills was an accom-
mediation indorser of a note with the
two when they were conducting a sa-
loon business in Anaconda. The note
was for S240 and Wills had to pay it
when due. When they filed their petit
tions in bankruptcy the $240 due to
Wills was listed among other liabilities.
