HE AIDED THE POLICE IN THEIR
HUNT,

to them that he kad robbed one of
the largest department stores In the
city, besides several residences in the
iast few months. 8
Boos jwtingly reminded te police
that he himseii had raised the hue
and cry ome night a few weeks ago
when a burglar was chased out of the
| residence of A wealthy man. He sald
the police were close on him before
be ont of the house and that he
ran Rhead of them shouting: “Stop
thief. Catch that man!”
This ruse worked so well that Boos
resorted to it again a few nights later,
when he had forced his way Into the
home of J. l. Pendleton, and from
which he was frightened by an alarm.
Boos regarded as a modern so
cial higiwayman. He drew a large
salary ss superintendent of the big
transit corporation and lived In good
style in handsomely furnished apart
ments on one of the best streets In the
city. He was apparently one gf the
busiest men in town, seemed (0 have
no time for anything but his work,
and appeared an exemplary man of
of stealing copper wire from the come
pany and selling it td a Junk dealer,
Officials of the company were his so
cusers. =
A subdbguent Search of Boos’ fine
apartment revealed plunder for which
the police had long been looking and
which it 1a alleged was taken from
a department store and private resk
defices. When the oot was discovered
Boos, it is sald, confessed. ,

CLOTHING MANUFACTURERS
SEEK RELIEF
Loaded to the Gunwales with Millions of Dollars Worth of High Grade Men's, Boys’ and
Youths’ Clothing that Failed fo Sell Because of the Warm Weather in the Early Fall, “}
. ‘They Have Asked the Retailers to Come to their Aid. :
Murphy & BIis
The well known American Clothiers and Gent's Furnishers of Sayre have been among the first of the retailers to respond to the call and
have secured * n entire new line of winter Clothing, Underwear and Gents’ Furnishings that will be placed on sale
Thursday. December]
at their Lockhart street store, next the postoffice, and the cut in the pri‘es has been made so deep that there is not a man, young or old, in
this section that can afford to pass them by. The reason for this astonishing cut is plain. Manufacturers expected a big fall trade. The
big concerns ran their factories night and day during the summer months anticipating the biggest businegs in the histor} of the clothing 8
industry. They were grievously disappointed. Mild Oc tober and November weather was responsible for a big slump in manufacturer’s
sales and now at the very outset of winter they find their warerooms crowded with goods that must be disposed of atany price. Natur=
ally they look to the retailers for relief, and the latter have promised to do their best. ; :
=
The manufacturers need the money that is invested in their enormus output of Clothing and they are sending it to the retailers with
instructions to cut the price to the core. The consumer is the only one who will profit by this transaction. Legitimate cut price sales
just preyious to the holiday season is a hitherto unheard of proposition and an innovation in the business world, but the step is justified
by the conditions and if you fail to take advantage of the opportunity to secure high grade clothing at almost your own figures, you only
are the loser. 2
The stock which will be placed on sale is positively the largest and finest ever displayed in’
: . a Clothing store in this valley.
It would require a sheet many times the size of this to list the clothing bargains which will be offered at this sale, therefore you will
have to be content with a few, and witness with:your own eyes the thousands of others when you visit the store. Here are a limited"
number of low priced offerings that will prevail during this money-saving event. 2
