Knows How to
 SCater to the Public

To gain the confidence of the public
 ie a rare trait of which not everyone possessed. Some strive for thi. distinction, without success. Others
 are born with the faculty of making
 friends and being oi an apprecistive disposition cultivate that faculty until she confidence grows to esteem. Ob- serving ones appreciate this trait in man, ard an endeavor to emulate that which stimulates and elevates cannot but rebound to the public wei. fare.
 A few yesrs since John Rock came to Tombstone and ventured an ex- elusive gents furnishing store. Al though 6 stranger to the community, MT. Rock i'm mediately won favor with the public; he was sffable, courteous and psinstaking in his business ,rsns- actions; his friends increased in num- bers and his.busine.s grew in propor- tion to the esteem in which he wa. held. Soon his quarters were made. quate aud more commodious store rooms were sought. His present lrca- tion on the corner of Allen and Fourth streets afforded an opportunity for eI- psnsion, and 6 complete line of gen. ersl merchandise WAS added. Know ing the wishes of critical and e1- acting public Mir. Rock purchased his stock with . view to please, allowing nothing but the best makes of cleth- ing, boots, shoes, hate and gents fur Dishings to be placed on display. The ladies department, too, is replete in every detail calculated to meet tn. ap- proval of feminine fancy. In his show windows are the finest iabrice fash | toned by nodiates of renowp; all of l the ladies gowns are of the lates. cre- Ation, and while everything in the store is included in the reduced price | sale, it is not astonishing that there is wild rush for holiday goods before the special sale expires by limitation. Rock sells goods cheap and continu ues to gain popularity and prosp in the estes ID of his fellowman.

With these conditions pre- vsiling, man could want little else and the average Tombstoner was con tent until Charley Kreu1er arrived and taught him the essential rudi- ments to happiness and longevity good food. plenty of food, food chsnl, prepared. This community ~ssnoted for being good liyers, but Kreud n style Of catering has proven a revela ton, and sn added and deserving dis tion is appended to the city's popu larity.

 attention of tke court and jury Dur iug the course of the prosecution it
 was discovered that the knife alleged
 to have been used wac mt in court. Judge Doan took occasion 10 stste some pertinent facts in connection with the carelessness exhibited by justices of the peace throughout the county in negIecting to.end necessary exhibits to tte district court, and il behooves the various justices to be more careful in this regard. The case wss concluded at the noon hour and submitted to the jury.
 In the Coleman burglary csse the verdict Of guilty f-urd by the jury let night was set ss;de by Judge Dosn upon motion for 6 new trial. ! Tn granting the motion Judge Doan stated tbe evidence in the case did 1 not justify the verdict and while he did not ordinarily set aside the verdict of jury, if the question were taken before the supreme court it would be undoubtedly granted without hesi- taney and remsnded for.a new trial.
