suras Of GOAT
CAUSES LAW SUIT
Mobile Woman Files Complaint
Asking $5000 Damages
JOINT OWNERS ARE SUED
In the Papers Filed Mrs. Busch Claims
That She Was Mischievously At
tacked in September and She
Still Suffers Therefrom.
Mobile, December 26.—(Special.)—Still
smarting from the effects of the spirited
charge of a masculine goat. Mrs. Eliza
beth Busch of this city, has filed suit in
the circuit court for $5,000 against Henry,
Frank, Charles, George and Lafayette
Busch, alleged owners of the said An
gora.
The bill of complaint sets up the inter
esting fact that on a certain day in Sep- ,
tember the plaintiff in question while j
strolling along Michigan avenue was vi- !
eiously, mischievously and with malice .
aforethought attacked in an unbecoming
manner by the said goat, which answers
to the name of William.
While the various counts of the com
plaint do not definitely establish the po
sition of the goat in making the charge,
npr the provocation, this is probably due
to the alarm of the plaintiff as set forth
in the papers filed.
A Beast of Burden.
The goat, whose location can not now’ be
established, is said to have been valuable
as a beast of burden in that he pulled a
cart up and down the street to the great
delectation of his owners, and bis only
failing was a propensity to butt in in an
uncalled for and impolite manner.
In the action of law, Mrs. Busch does
not relate the past history of William, but
reports from the be-leged territory indi
cate that the said goat has butted in on
many occasions, and the list of easualths
resulting therefrom is lengthy.
i nc uompiami.
The first count of the suit filed by Mrs.
Busch is as follows.
"Plaintiff claims of the defendants the
sum of five thousand dollars for that be
fore and nt the time of the damage and
injury to the plaintiff hereinafter men
tioned. the said defendants wrongfully
kept a certain goat, they well knowing
that the said goat was of a mischievous
nature and was used and accustomed to
attack mankind and that it was danger
ous and improper to allow said goat to be
nt large and unconflned. which said goat
while the defendants kept the same as
aforesaid heretofore and at and before the
comenclng of tills suit, to-wit: the twen
ty-fifth day of September. 1903. did attack,
lacerate and inlure the said plaintiff,
whereby the sold plaintiff became and
was greatly terrified and alarmed, and
became and wits sick. sore. lame, disor
dered and isahled. and so remained and
continued for a long time, to-wit: from
the day and year last mentioned to the
time of the comtnencemtn of this suit:
whereby and in consequence of the alarm
and fright and injury occasioned by the
said goat so attacking, wounding, lacer
ating and injuring her as aforesaid, the
plaintiff has been greatly injured in her
health and Is unable to perform her cus
tomary labors and has been put to great
expense in and about the curing of salt)
injury and Is permanently injured physi
cally and has suffered great mental pain,
anxiety and anguish, to her great dam
age as aforesaid.”

Per Cent Off.
The Reasons
And the Results.
We reasoned it out this way. A reduc
tion sale must inevitably come at time—
■ probably in. February—maybe later. Such
sales are necessary. They are safety values
by which the surpluses must escape. They
help us keep the stocks healthy, apple-pie
and ship-shape. Well, why not jump in and
do the thing at once ? Why not give the
buyers nearly a full season to wear and ap
preciate the bargains ? What’s the sense
of waiting ? Action immediately followed
the thoughts. Today is December 28th. It
is the heart of mid-winter. Here are end
of-the-season prices on Women’s Tailored
Suits, Women’s Coats, Women’s Furs and
Children’s jackets. That’s all. These are
the facts in a thimble. In the beginning,
let us say we are sincere. All that follows
in this announcement was written conscien
tiously and should be read the same way.
j Women who read and come will find the
richest bargain ever offered in Birmingham.
WOMEN’S Tailored Suits, Coats, Furs, Children’s Coats. The good, reliable Saks kind.
Simplest to the richest styles. The stocks in their entirety. Prices have hit the tobog
gan. We know it smacks off sensationalism, yellowism, and all that, however, we cannot refrain
from employing the only word in Mother English that expresses what has happened to the
j jnces
They’ve been “SLAUGHTERED,” literally, verily slaughtered.
It’s an old and oft told tale: Feb. 1st is reckoning day. We would rather inventory money
than merchandise. There are thirty days ahead in which to do the work to transform Coats into
Cash. Suits into Simoleons, Furs into Farthings. Help! Will you help us? It’s a straight
out business proposition. Will you buy the choicest wearing apparel in all the world at next to
nothing prices ?
The news is too good! Twenty-five per cent, oft! Yes, that is an abused and hackneyed
phrase, appearing in the advertisements of some stores it is void and empty. However, when it
occurs in a Saks announcement it fairly bristles with meaning and money saving. Twenty-five
per cent off. The reductions are real and actual. Think of it. A suit that was labeled $30.00
yesterday is yours tomorrow at $22.50, or a fur or a coat. And better than that, the bargains
come right at the zenith of the wearing season. And best of all, the garment was plucked rare,
ripe and full blown from this season’s vineyard. Every style is freshly coined and follows the
lines of dominant vogue of today. Nothing lacking, nothing missing to make this an unpar
alleled bargain event of the year. All in all, there is
$50,000 Worth of Merchandise to be Sold at $37,500.
