Night MIND READING FAKE His Were and He Failed to Act Without Subjects. “You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t foo) all of the people all of the the time,” says Lincoln, but Mclvor- Tyndall evidently thinks he can fool all of the people all of of the time, to judge by the old worn- out threadbare tricks which he prac- land audi Tas BEFORE JUDGE FORIN. Case of Bakker Vs. Nov‘ak Was Dis- missed By the Court. By dismissing this morning the case of Bakker, the architect, against Novoak of the Creedmore building, Judge Forin decided that the architect was incompetent and not entitled to re- cover balance on account. Because the architect’s plans caused extra expense the proprietor discfarged him, paying him in full for the time he worked. Bakker claimed 5 per cent. otf the con- tract price $4,450, and alleged that the sf had no right todi him sued for the balance. The prop! him and was , but Novoak proved by the contractor's evidence that the architects’ lang caused the owner needless additional expense. Attorney Deacon represented the defense. : Novoak testified first, and seid he had wished to have an attorney witness the agreement between himself and Bakker. To this Mr. Bakker replied that it was not necessary, ashe had drawn up plans for the Traders’ National bank and other buildings. His plans, Novoak claimed were defective and cau: sed the contractor to get mixed in his work. The hk fol ii tised upon a t evening Tricks that have been ex- a posed time and time again for years past; tricks which every strolling min- stiel knows how to do and tricks which are as transparent asa sheet of water. As the sun outshines the dull lustre of the stars, so does Anna Eva Fay 60 far eclipse Dr. Tyndall in performing his tame tricks, and tricks which he could not begin to perform, that there is no comparison between the two.

One of the joices split which let the floor down three inches and caused $50 extra expense. Then upon the advice ot Attorney McArthur, he dispensed with the architect’s ser- vices. Judge Forin interposed by saying that Attorney McArthur was not well eaough qualified so that his advise would be taken in any court. J.G.

He believes riches are burried there which will dim the lustre of King Solomen’s mine and make him theBonanza king of the Kootenays. He had not entirely re- covered from his bruises yet, but the fires of impatience so copsumed him, that he could not rest until he knew hing more of the interior of that yawning cave.

It is simply waste of breath to stamp the doctor aga fakir, for there is not one doctor that wasepresent last night but knows it to be @f:ct. The doctor might beable to pull the wool over the eyes of those who love to be mysterions, public branded as a fakir pure and simple.
