of Winfield is about to close out

part of February. The Famous.
j. Isralsky, proprietor of one of
the popular business houses of
Winfield, proposes to seek other
fields and will sell his varied
stock of goods regardless of cost.
The Sentinel will regret the de-
parture of the proprietor as he
has been firm believer in the use
of printers ink, and which he has
literally used. The public are
reminded that if they wish for
bargains they had better embrace
this opportunity to secure some
rare purchases as speedily as
possible. The present stock of
The Famous is not only varied,
but is fresh and new having been
purchased recently and embraces
all the latest styles of all manner
of household articles, clothing,
shoes and all goods in that line.
Go and enquire and be convinced
and satisfy pressing needs.

Attorney Simpson calling upon them
to appear before the Federal Grand
Jury and testify generally on behalf
Of the governments contemplated ac-
tion against certain newspaper publish-
ers concerned in the publication of the

Attorneys John NJ. Bowers and De
Lancey Nicoll. contended that the
form used, in which no defendant was
named and the nature of the matter
about which the witnesses were called
TO testify was not mentioned, renders
the subpoenaes void.

that the form used had been in general
practice i'm this district for more than
fifty years and cited a number OF cases
in support OF their contention. The
point in regard TO there being. no de-
'efndant named was attacked on the
ground that there can be no defendant
