ry Sale of Genuine Haviland China
We Never Heard of Prices Being As Low On Haviand
China As They Are In This Sale 81

We have just received a shipment
of our four best selling patterns di-
rect from Haviland and Co., Limo
ges, France. This china was ORDER
ed specially for this Anniversary
Sale, the order being given last fall
when prices were at their lowest.
The quantity ordered was such that
we could place the order direct with
the factory and thereby eliminate
the jobber's profit. Then too, we
forego the greater part of our profit
that this Anniversary Sale may be
a greater success in volume of bust
ness. These three things combine
to make the prices quoted below, the
lowest we have ever heard of on
Haviland China.

the Sinbad valley which each man had
claimed as his own there had been bad
blood between them.
Readers of The Sentinel will remem-
Der that the two men fell out over
a partnership title to a claim. John
son had Gordon arrested for defacing
location stakes; "A bitterly contested
trial in the local courts resulted in a
hung jury; then Gordon had Johnson
arrested for making threats against
him, but the case was never prosecut-
ed. \ compromise of some sort was
then partially effected and Gordon left

Did His Brother Know.
There is report to the effect that
brother of Gordon was in shop
about half block from the scene of
the shooting at the time. and when he
heard the firing of shots he exclaimed: ::
II would bet "A hundred that is my bro
ther shooting at 'Curley' Johnson"
How true this report Is The Sentinel
cannot say. although the authority -ap-
pears to be reliable.
Both men have resided in the coun-
ty for number of years, and both are
quite well known.
From the evidence now at hand and
the circumstances surrounding the af-
fair. it would appear that the assault
was most cowardly and uncalled for.
The fact that Gordon had been sitting
on the walk alone for a long time gives
some grounds for friends of Johnson
to declare tnat the assault was pre-
meditated.

that Johnson then started toward him
and he got up. drew a revolver and be-
gan firing at johnson.
Gordon does not seem to be worried
over his predicament or sorry that he
shot Johnson.
