Is it any wonder, then, that Hellman's administra- ’ tor has no trouble in disposing of the goods to the envy of every clothing house in the west? No comparison can be made with this Hellman’s administrator’s closing sale and any other sale that has or may spring into existence. Suits are cut down in price until customers are ashamed to ask a little more off. = Pants from $12 and $15 suits, the coat and vest being sold, go at most any price. Hellman's $4 fancy worsted pants in light colors, stripes and plaids, go at Tran: - vy yent stock from running off the grade.

The county attorney made his opening statement. The defend- ant’s theory as propounded by Attorney Mc- Creary in a brief speech is that proof will show that Paul has accounted for every dollar coming into his possession, therefor any embezzlement is denied.

The members of the oity council got to- gether 1ast night and in less than an hour they had straightened out the curbing or- dinance, so that there is a strong probability that curbing will begin ere many days. The ordinance as originally introduced provided for white Colorado sandstone. Mr. Lowry moved an amendment to substitute red for white Colorado sandstone, Mr. Specht said that it the white stone went red should also go and let the ordinance provide for simply Colorado stone. T'he matter should be left to the property owners along the streets. Mr. Lowry replied that the contractors had bid 58 cents on the red and 63 cents on the white stone. All ho wanted was to have the contract let to the lowest bidder. City Attorney Connell was called for, He sald, to avoid any legal complications, he considered 1t wise to take tho red stone bids. The matter was wholly in the hands of the council. Mr. Lowry sald that the Union Pacifio and the B, & M. railroads were the kickers. Mr. Specht clung to the opinion that if the property owners wanted granite for curbing they should have it 1f they wore willing to pay the pric The word *‘white,” as applied to Colorado sandstone, was stricken from the ordinanco and as amended it passed.
