appear in 1899. This is rank false
hood; the defendent was notified to
appear on the 9th day of August 1898.
The subpoena was dated wrongly, but
the witnesses appeared and testified,

J. H. Luers has concluded the pur-
chase of the Lowry store and the
stock has been purchased jointly by
Mr.. Luers and Fred Lowry, which evil

land interests. We think Mr.. Luers
has shown wise discretion to have
with him in the business one so we'll
and favorably known as is Fred Lowry
in this community. Besides Mr.. Luers
would be at decided disadvantage
here alone in business as in the start
he would be a stranger to the trading
public.
