The taking over of the store was solely for investment purposes on the to.t tlnnArunv TlrnK and it was their original intention to move all that was left of the stock to Pasadena, following a mammoth 30-days' sale, further announcements of which will appear later in THE SUN, which is to start Friday morning. In preparation for this snle the store will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday. Their intention either leaked out some way or else Colton feared such would be- the case, and representatives of the city's business world called upon Mr. Boadway today and urged him to reconsider his decision, for the Hub city can well support two drygoods houses.

Mitchell, assistant to Boadway is to have charge of the stock reducing snle, and 1f he finds business conditions here and the patronage of the Colton public warrant the keeping open of the store, his report to Mr. Boadway will be takon under consideration. When Mr. Boad-wav departed this evening for Pasadena he stated that now his decision to close up after the sale wns w)n on account of the pressure brought to bear by the Colton men conferring witn him today.
