MEMS CLOTHING

This is a clothing store
and other kinds Of a store.
But none the less a clothing
store. There is unequaled
security in buying our cloth
ing. The common trash, mis-
called cheap, SO generally wor-
shipped in the clothing trade
finds no entrance here.
The materials in our wooden
and worsted clothing are abb
solutely free from cotton. The
Importance of that statement
only an expert in woolens
comprehends. Seams are silk
sewed. Garments are tailor
made.
Our high standard for cloth
ing is almost unknown else
where, and we have reason to
believe that our prices are 80
per cent. below the entire mar
ket for equal garments. In re-
tail clothing the raven iscroak-
ing ; but not here, for splendid
gains mark our clothing sales.

SPORTING EVENTS.
The Big Fight Will Take Place in Mexico If Anywhere.


 Fl Paso, Tex, Feb. 12.-At noon Bob Fitzsimmons announced that he had quit training and would be in condition to fight on Friday. If the fight did not take place on Friday he would announce him. self as champion of the world and would meet all corners except Corbett, but un- der no condition would he meet Corbett. A special train on the Mexican Central railroad brought in the One Hundred and Tenth regiment from Chihuahua. and they are now scattering along the Mex ican frontier, with the intention of stop ping the fight at all hazards.
 John l.. Sullivan and Paddy Ryan reached here at 9 o'clock this morning. Sullivan went to Stuarts headquarters and where is this scrap coming off"
 Joe Wheelock said: Friday morning at 10 o'clock across the river"
 This remark is regarded as final. and notwithstanding the efforts of the Minis ters' union it is believed the rurales and the custom house guards will be conve- niently absent when the sporting fra ternity cross the river next Friday morn ing Fitzsimmons came to Stuarts head quarters this morning and wanted to know if Austin was responsible for the stake money. He was assured that the money was within reach.
 Judge Crosby returned this morning from visit to Governor Ahumada of the state of Chihuahua and says that the governor will not spare efforts to pre- vent the fights taking place on Mexican soil If this proves true, 1t knocks out all the boosting and assurances of the Stu art and wheelock crowd.

 10 Tree.

Sullivan, H., Feb. 12-Grant Atterbury charged with criminally assaulting his sister-in-law Miss RoXey Atterbury was taken from jail here at 12:45 this morn ing, dragged to the court house and hanged to a tree.
 The mob began to gather at 11:30 last night At that time fifteen met met They were fully armed and carried sIedge hammers.
 The mob acted quickly and marched directly from the school house to the jail, which was protected by only the sheriff and one deputy. Here a. demand for Atterbury was refused and the door was knocked in with sledge hammers The sheriff feigned resistance and fired his pistol in the air. In the meantime crowds of people had gathered about the iail but no attempt was made to help the sheriff.
 After the sheriff fired his revolver the mob opened fire, and amid shots and yells marched up stairs in the jail leaving a few men to keep back the crowd.
 Two minutes were consumed in break ing down the iron door. Atterbury was then dragged from the cell amid the hoWls of the other prisoners, who were badly frightened.
 The prisoner resisted with all his strength and much trouble was expe- rienced in getting him down stairs. He fOugnI nke d ueHlOil, but WHCh hS iiho'y got out the excitement of the mob was furious
 The march was taken up to the court house yard, two blocks away, amid a perfect fusllade of pistol shots The mob seemed almost frenzied and showed no sympathy.
 Arriving under the tree to which he was to be hanged Atterbury began to re- alize fully that he was to die. He pleaded piteously, protesting his innocence, and saving. .'Thank God, you are hanging an innocent man."
 The mob was wild and restless until the man was strung up in the air, when it instantly dispersed.

PRIZE FIGHT GOSSIP.
Every Effort Is Being Made to Prevent the
 Fight

Fl Paso, Tex, Feb. 12.-The situation thirty-six hours before the time originally set for the appearance of Fitzsimmons and Maher in the ring is in nearly every respect counterpart of the situation that preceded the meeting of Sullivan and Kilrain at Richburg. Miss, in July of 1889. The Texas and federal .author- ties and those of the adjoining Mexican states are apparently determined to pre- vent the mill, as were the legislatures of Louisiana and Mississippi seven years ago. By the same token the active pro.

HEY WENT UNDER A CAR
Electric Road Employees Meet With an
Accident
A Motorman and Conductor Who Escaped
Death by . Scratch-One Is Seri-
ousIy Hurt

At a little after o'clock yesterday
morning two electric road employees
were seriosuly hurt at the seventh
street and Grand avenue power-house'
one of them so badly that he may pos
sibly not recover. John l.. Harrington
a conductor, and John j. McGreal, a
motorman, reside on Boyle Heights and
come over on the first car in the morn
ing to take out their own from the
power-hOuse.
AS the car swung around the curve
little late they jumped off and maze
for the south door on a run. Just as
they came abreast of the big door car
was coming out and struck potn men
with considerable force, knocking them
down upon the track Harrington went
under the fender, and when the car was
stopped. which was inside of few feet.
his head was across the rail, ana out a
few inches from the wheel.
He was eXtricated and assisted into
the power-house, where DR.. Gates rem
dered medical assistance McGreal es-
capped with cuts and bruises, and was
by no means as seriously injured as Har-
rington, who seemed to be suffering from
internal hurts. AS soon as their wounds
could be dressed they were sent home,
Harrington to 2501 East First street, ana
McGreal to 2141 City View avenue.
DR.. Gates is of the opinion that Har-
rington will recover, although 1t is as
vet impossible to tell the exact extent
of his injuries McGreal will be about
in a few days, although painfully bruis-

A Tangled Skein

one more attempt was made Yesterday
before Judge Clark to try and straighten
out the tangled affairs of the Leonis es-
tate. For years the parties in interest
have bobbed up serenely every now and
then, and, as rule, whenever the affairs
of the estate are aired in court the occa-
sion is celebrated by a spat between
counsel.
The matter yesterday was contested
claim for 1929, c. B. Ladd, ESQ, con-
tending that there was still owing $40
of this amount. Horace Bell, ESQ., on
the other hand, argued that the entire
amount had been liquidated. He quoted
the amounts paid from the record, but
opposing counsel displayed an inclina-
tion to dispute some of the assertions
made. He was called down promptly by
the court, and then Horace Appel the
attorney, was telephoned for in order to
testify to having torn up note for 500
when the indebtedness was liquidated
Attorney Ladd again had his little
say-so, but Judge Clark appears to suf-
fer mental perturba ton whenever the
Leonis case is called. and promptly in
timated to counsel that the court could
not receive his statement, and that it
was absurd to imagine a case could be
tried on the mere statements of counsel.
Attorney Appel not appearing, the
case was again adjourned until Monday
next.
