James S. Eishy-Smith, Forbes’ coun sel. "1 will also furnish a list of documents which would prove Forbes’ Innocence and which have been with held by government counsel.” "Colonel Forbes I regard as Irre sponsible,” said O’Ryan.

"Yes, and the doors were wide open.” "How long were you there?" “About two minutes.” "Was this altercation during the time when you suspected Mortimer of representing the Southerland Con struction company?” "It was during the period I mis pected him of bootlegging activities," replied Forbes, as the crowd of spec tators laughed.

Every man who wants what he pays for de mands such a plan of clothes selling. No man or boy can have confidence in any other selling plan. And no store can build the vast volume of business which this store enjoys without the complete confidence of its thou sands of satisfied customers. Every day we place in stock many new suits and overcoats—our keen buying or ganization acquires these goods at the lowest price and in turn we sell as we buy. * /’A Buy your Winter Clothes today at Value Head —— —' quarters where Standard Quality Clothes are priced to save you Money There will be no lower prices later-Nebraska prices are at rock bottom now!
