GOOD FELLOWS
STILL At WORK
Meeting of the Executive Committee
Of These Willing Workers Was
in Progress This
Morning.
ARRANGE FOR SALE
ARRANGE FOR SALE
Which Will Open Next Monday and
Continue Through All the Days
Of the Coming
Week.

The executive committee of the
Good Fellows committee met at $50
o'clock this morning to arrange for
the sale Of clothing and other articles
which sale will be held at the Good
Fellows headquarters, at No. South
Third street, in the public library
building, next Monday. and continue
through the entire week.
The price that will be put on cloth
ing will be exceedingly reasonable, it
is claimed, thereby serving twofold
purpose: 1t will bar out the idea Of
charity, while the proceeds will go to-
wards procuring articles that have
not been donated. for the use OF the
children
Mrs. William Lowitz has been ap-
pointed to act as treasurer Of the
Good Fellows.
1t was directed that nobody will be
allowed to purchase at this sale with
out a permit card from Miss Meigs.
This rule was obviously adopted to
prevent anything that might create
even the suspicion OF anything like I'M
| fairness in this laudable enterprise
gotten up in the most honest and
earnest feelings of good fellowship.
The donations for this sale are dem
onstrating a liberal spirit on the part
of the citizenship of the city and it is
hoped that the disposal of the clothing
when the sale begins, will further
demonstrate the liberal and charitable
feeling that pervades the community
Just now this is a land of prosperity
and plenty, and nobody hereabouts al
the coming Christmas festivities
should be allowed the depressing
cares Of hunger or undue want, when
there is SO much in sight and only

Mrs. Dunn Disappears.

&. Just before court convened this
afternoon, Attorney MoCoid for the
defense admitted to The Gate City
that Mrs. William Dunn, who Was to
have been a star witness in the case
for the defendant, could not be found.
Mr.. McCoid intimated that he thought
that she had been influenced by some
one interested in the prosecution to
keep under oover until it was too late
to call her.
Mr.. McCoid declared that few
days ago Mrs. Dunn was in his Office
and made some startling admissions
to him I'M connection with the inside
facts of the case, She said at that
time that she was perfectly willing TO
go on the stand and do all she could
for her husband.
Attorney McCoid said that last Sun
| day morning Mrs. Dunn left the resi-
dence of Mr.. Hickey, where she is
employed as housekeeper, saying that
she was going to her mothers house.
Since that time she has not been seen
so far as the defense can learn. The
attorney seemed worried and said
THAT If she did not appear Dunn would
take the stand and tell things that
would force the state If they have
knowledge of her whereabouts, to
produce her and get her evidence.
I About an hour was devoted after
llunch to the arguments of the attor-
neys in regard to the admissiblity OF
the evidence Of James Dunn, and
Jack Luder.
