daughter, Mrs. Reuben Turner, who is an
universal favorite in Salt Lake. The

DON'T BUY YOUR HOLIDAY GOODS

Until you have seen our sSrand Display.
Believing that we would most assuredly be
in our new store by the 10th of this month
at the latest, our Mr.. Fyler purchased a
very large and elegant line of Holiday
Goods, which you will find described on
this sheet and on exhibition in our Grand
Show Windows at the New Store Through
an unavoidable delay in the arrival of some
of the fixtures and finishing material we
shall not be able to open our New Store
until some time between the 18th and 10Th
of December That will be far too late to
place these goods on sale for the Holiday
trade, consequently Mir. Fyler has de-
cided to throw them all on the market
REGARDLESS OF COST,
as he is determined not to carry over
single article.
Remember all these goods are New, only
unpacked last Thursday. Never saw the
light of day since they left the manufac-
turers until then.
And we say again, Study Your Own In
terests and buy where you can buy Cheap
est and Best. Buy where you have the
Largest, Newest and most Elegant Stock
to select from.
Respectfully,

evening in the tunnel at Sing Sing

road with trains on both sides of the
tunnel. The locomotive of one of the

Several persons are reported to have
been killed and many injured. Some

The locomotive, when it crashed into
the rear sleeper of the leading train,

Judge Shepard Condemns
Fraudulent Deal,

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-Judge Shepard in
the circuit court to-day handed down
decision in the matter of appointing
receiver for the estate of S. A. Kean,
the insolvent banker. This decision
was rendered in suit by sundry cred
itOrs, who attacked the action of the
assignee in turning over all the assets
to Everett NJ. Warden, who agreed to
pay the creditors So cents on
the dollar in consideration of all
claims. It was claimad that
there was fraud in this action and
Judge Shepard so decided this after
noon, when he reversed the proceed
ings in the county court and granted
the motion for receiver. In his decis-
ion the judge bitterly scored the parties
who had been instrumental in having
the assets turned over to Warren and
declared that it prepared the way for
gross fraud upon the creditors. 1.-THE
county court last summer, in discharg-
ing the assignee, overstepped its juris-
diction and practically gave away the
estate" said Judge Shepard. Edward
Filkins was informally selected as re-
-ceiYer.
