PLAN EXTRA STORY
FOR BANK BUILDING
Gostlin, Meyn Will Add to
Their Structure if Ten
ants Are Assured.

1t is understood that Gostlin, Meyn
& Company, who are owners of the
First National bank building at the
corner of Holman and Sibley streets
are contemplating the erection of an
extra story on the building providing
it can be rented.
The Elks lodge has been negotiat-
ing for the upper floor to be used for
lodge rooms but so far they have done
nothing definite about the matter. If
the Elks agree to the terms of the pro-
posed lease it is said that the owners
of the building will construct the finest
club rooms in the city.
There are several other lodges that
are considering the renting of quarters
that might be provided over the bank
building but no action has been taken
by any of them as yet.
Mr.. Turner said today that the COM
pany of which he is member would
not commence the erection of the extra
story unless a satisfactory lease was
made first. He admitted that the Elks
and several other secret societies were
negotiating for the rooms but said that
nothing definite had been done so far.
The fixtures and decorations of the
First National bank building Will be
the finest in the county when they are
the building itself is one of it's de-
fects and it is believed that by erect
ing another story on top of the two
that are already built the structure
will be an imposing one.

GIRL FOOLS CLERK;
MAN GETS LICENSE
Young Woman Who is Is at
Grown Point is Only 16
at Valparaiso.

Chauncey De Pew Miller, IA East
Fifty-fourth street, Chicago, and Alice
Dorothy Parker, an actress, giving her
address as Dayton. O., were the prin-
cipals yesterday in one of the most ro-
mantle elopements that have yet taken
place at the Crown Point, Ind. Gretna
Green. Their flight from Chicago to
Crown Point and thence to Valparaiso,
in the adjoining county, in search of a
license, was exciting.
Miller and his intended bride left
Chicago early in the morning in an
automobile, and raced to Crown Point.
where it was expected a license could
be secured, but there was an obstacle,
for he was yet less than is years old.
He brought his mother to give her con-
sent, but County Clerk Wheeler, upon
hearing that the intended groom was
too young according to the Indiana
laws, refused to grant the license, to
the disappointment of the trio.
The clerk, however, gave them tip
which frightened them up, and they
started the second lap for Valparaiso
to try again. They found the Indiana
law not so stringent at Valparaiso
and young Miller and Miss Parker were
made man and wife by the Rev Harry
Davis at o'clock. They then returned
to Crown Point.

that the father and husband would

Especial to Lake County Times.)


Lowell, Ind, June 14-Deputy Coro-
ner Z. II. Ruge of Lake county today
held the inquest of the remains of Miss
Minnie Kiederer, the Chicago young wo-
man who was drowned at Cedar Lake
last Sunday.
The body was carefully examined and
there was not a spot or bruise to indi-
cate that there had been violence done
to the young woman. Miss Stafford,
the young woman's chum, was present
at the hearing and related the circum-
stances exactly as they were printed
in THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES last even
ing.
1t was apparent from the evidence
that it was purely accidental and there
was no blame placed on the young men
who were in the boat at the time of
the accident The verdict was acct
dental drowning.
There was not even any bad feeling
between any of the young people who
were on the trip and so the authorities
in Chicago were authorized to exon
crate the young men who conduced
the Inflated sailing party. The body
was shipped to Chicago this after
noon.

She explained that he mustn't be
