years ago in connection with the ef-
forts of Laura Biggar, the actress,

BILE.
Dr. Hendrick, who had been liv-
ing in New York recently, went to
Dunellen to open a sanatorium on
the Bob Fitzsimmons farm, near
there. His widow, to whom he was
married May IL, 1916, is now in Los
Angeles.
The death of DR.. Hendrick recalls
the sensational developments at
tending the will contest brought by
Laura Biggar in 1902. Claiming to
have been the secret wife of the
Pittsburgh man, she brought suit to
set aside his will declaring she had
borne a child to Bennett after his
death. Samuel Stanton, former
Justice of the peace in Hoboken, at

in Bayonne, attested to the birth of

But NOT at kaufman's! A bargain here
means what it is supposed to mean-good mer-

When we state that an item is bargain, you
may be sure that we are selling it for less than

there is consequently DOUBLE cash saving
