Carl J, Kirk, of Forty-third and

l'lio Juryman's nllcgcd offer to "ob
struct justice and influence the jury"
was exposed by Samuel 13. Kratzok, nn
attorney. He went to the chambers of
Judgo Crane, of the Municipal Court,
and told of the offer that had been made
to "fix" the jury in his case.
"I was in my office this morning nt
about 0:45 o'clock," said Mr, Kratzok,
"talking to my client in a rear room.
lie was Joseph Newman, and ho is
biinging suit aguinst Henrietta Tnub to
recover $100 for painting work and
materials furnished.
"I was notified that a man wanted
to sec me, and when I walked into tho
outer ofhco he said, 'Do you remember

Juror No. t! iv the case, which had
opened yestecday beforo Judgo Crane.

thinks the plaintiff, because of. bis
naipe, is a German. But I can fix it
for you, jou know," he said. "What
is tho amount of tho suit?" ho next
asked.
"Meet mo in court, I told him,"
said the lawyer. "Tncn I did tho only
tiling possible . I went to the cham
bers of Judge Crane nud told tho
judge."
Juror Kirk told Judge Cruno lie had
no intention to do wiong, saying lie
only went to see tnc lawyer to "be

The Greatest Saving Announcement of the Season!
This announcement 'comes at the most critical period in thc year's fur retailing.
Prices have been steadily advancing in the wholesale markets, and we believe that it is
only due to our initiative and foresight generally that we have been enabled to sell at
our famously low prices during this season. We, as Fur Manufacturers, have carried the
largest stocks of dependable furs in the East, and have maintained our original prices.
It is not exaggeration to say that next winter furs will cost double the present reg
ular prices. We are nearing the close of our Annual Sale, and with our low prices cut in
half in many instances, this is an event of the rarest occurrence.
Quantities Limited as Advertised, Many Other Items
Too Numerous to Mention
Buy Immediately
for present and future needs
Purchases Will Be Reserved in Our Storage Vaults Until Next Fall on Payment
of a Deposit, Payments to Be Continued Monthly During the Spring and Summer.

INFORMATION OF MERCHANDISE FOR FRIDAY, JANUARY THIRTIETH J
To-morrow,SecpndDayforInspection
and Comparison of Furniture Values
Our Entire Stock, in the
Sale at Reduced Prices
Foi some years past the Strawbridge &
Clothier 'Furniture Sales have taken a position
unique among such events, demonstrating be
yond question, yet without noise and bluster,
that they are the result of more careful planning
and larger foresighted preparation than other
Furniture Sales about town. The superiority is
not in the' size of our Furniture selling space
(our ten-story warehouse, at Ninth and Poplar
Streets, holds the reserve stocks) , but in the wide
variety of high-class, NEW and beautiful Furni
ture, from more than two-score of the best
manufacturers in Grand Rapids and several
other cities, all bought at prices much lower than
we would have to pay to-day.
Every piece of Furniture that has been in the Store for some time was
already marked at less than its real value as based upon present cost, yet every
piece is NOW REDUCED IN PRICE. And all that has recently arrived,
though owned at less than manufacturers' present prices, is marked at con
siderably less than our justified profit which means that our ENTIRE
STOCK IS LESS THAN OUR OWN FAIR REGULAR PRICES.
A splendid assortment of BedroDm, Dining-room, Breakfast-room and
Living-room Suits, and innumerable single pieces and novelty designs, which
you are invited to COMPARE, as to quality, beauty and value, with the best
you can see elsewhere.
