BIG REAL ESTATE
DEAL REPORTED
Ruff and Associates Said to
Have Bought Birming-
ham Arms Lot

That Henry Ruff and associate owners
chased from the Birmingham Arms COM
pany 25 feet on Third avenue by 140 feet
deep for 100000 was reported in real
estate circles yesterday. The property,
which it is said has been sold by the
Birmingham Arms company, has upon it
now three-story commercial building
which has been occupied by the Brming-
ham Arms for the past year.
The price said to have been paid or
the property is equal to $1,000 per front
foot and is considered a very fine price
for property on Third avenue.
The men interested in the transaction
were unwilling yesterday to make any
statement about the purchase. In real
estate circles it was generally rumored
that the money had passed and that the
attorneys for Mr.. Ruff were engaged in
looking over the deeds before the final
transfer. The Guarantee Shoe company
has a store on the same block as this
property. The company also owns the
25 feet adjoining the place said to have
been bought from the Birmingham Arms
The Guarantee Shoe company purchased
the original 25 feet on Third avenue for
$4,000 about one year ago and has since
that time considered the property worth
$4,000 per front foot
This sale is said to be the beginning
of activity ins local real estate circles
The real estate market has been rather
quiet of late owing to the holidays, but
the general opinion among the best known
real estate ineh seems to be that busi-
ness will pick up soon and that an an
usually brisk season will begin.
Several other trades are pending now,
1t is said. involving equally as much
money as this one.

Burr Criticises Moore

He said the defendant had not the JUS
tification of a brave man in that he acted
ha Silly. but that he had meditated upon
the attack for hours. and then took the
advantage of striking r1an with an arm
ful of books, and botn hands occupied
He contended that the assault was an
affront to the people of the city, in addI-
ton to the injury to Mr.. Ward as an in
dividual, and that the only reason in
the world it was made was the fact that
Mr.. Ward was doing his duty. He in
sisted that such an acI warranted the
severest punishment and asked that the
full penalty of the law be imposed.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Burrs speech
Judge Douglas asked the defendant il
he had anything to say. Moore. replied
as above, and the judge imposed the sem
tence in the two cases.
