"It does not appeal to me that
Clara Rosen was murdered by a high
wayman with robbery as an object,
'.says the chief. "The theory thai crini
s/inal assault was the motive, I also
disbelieve, for tthe reason that the
poor girl's life was crushed out before
any such heinous crime could be ac
complished. It may be possible that
the mark placed on the ring by Miss
Rosen, lefore she had it -oduced to
fit her finger, m*y lead to th ultimate
discovery of the brute who comruii led
the deed. Then- are several clues on.

Get Busy.
A Change of D^te.
All dealers take notice that Thurs
oay February IS will be our next prin
cipaJ sale day, instead of Friday Car
lot horses will be sofcl beginning at
S
o'clock Thursday morning and scat
tering consignments will be sold on

Last week's sale was the largest we
have held thi3 year,,, and the size to
which they arc growing absolutely com
pels us to hold two full days in order
to do justice to our' consignors. We
simply can not bundle the business
o.ny longer in a single day. So in order
to injure a full allotment of buyers
and consignors for Thursday we are
advertising- Thursday as the principal
day and Friday as "cleap up" day.
I will publish this notice of
change/in date in a lot of pa
pers and will also mail out hun
dreds of circulars notifying all buy
ers that we will start promptly at 9
o'clock Thursday morning on car load
consignments and sell all day and as
much of Friday as is nwssarv. So
buy your horses to take .thd.n in one
day earlier and have them on hand
for Thursday, the principal da". With
two full days, we can handle more
horses and I will expect more buyers.
