Girl, A Former Plymouth Stu
dent, Elopes and Weds.

A sleuth outsleuthed by hi:
daughter is the position in which
a Chicago policeman who nightly
ornaments beat out of the West
North avenue station is placed.
Charles +. Onthank is the frus
trated officer. His daughter
Irene, is 19 years old and unit
Thursday lived at ~ NORTH
Western avenue.
The sleuthing process started
in Chicago, continued on train
speeding to Crown Point, Ind.
and concluded in the Indiana
town, where Miss Onthank anc
Gilbert H. Ayling, a Chicago
medical student, were married by
a justice of the peace. Mean
while the policeman-father, with
eagle glance, was securing the
town, searching every place but
the room in which the young
people were being made man anc
wife.
Anonymous communications, z
broken engagement, tears and q
hardly wrung parental consent
all figure in the romance ending
in the elopement to Indiana s
Gretna Green.
Thursday the pair decided to
elope to Crown Point. While
young Ayling sat whispering
sweet nothings to Miss Onthank
in the chair car of the train, the
smoker bore Policeman Onthank
who hercely consumed several CT
gars while he conned over sew
eral suspicious he entertained to
the effect that the couple had
gone to Crown Point on an ear
lier train.
Onthank left the train first and
was seen by the eloping pair
who hastened to sidestep the
eagle glance. AT the courthouse
Onthank was told that no license
had been issued, and he set out
to watch passengers arriving on
an incoming train.
Ayling and his wife-to-be slip
ped into the clerks Office. secured
a license, and were smuggled into
the Office of Justice of the Peace
George w. Fisher just as the
father came storming back, quite
sure he had been deceived.
A few minutes later he was
confronted with the smiling pair
The bridegroom became appre.
hensive as he surveyed the stern
visage of the Chicago officer, the
bride pumped tears and then the
father relented, hastily forgave
them, bestowed his parental bles-
sing and hurried them aboard a
train to Chicago.
Efforts to keep secret the mar
riage were greatly in evidence
Thursday night. Onthank denied
that there had been an elopemenl
asserting that he had given his
consent. He admitted that he was
in Crown Point at the time
though he was not in the room
when the marriage took place.
Miss Onthank will be remem-
bered by some Plymouth people
as being a boarder at St. Mich
aels academy, few years ago.

Death of Former Plymouth
Girl.
From South Bend Times.

The second violent death
within one week was reported
Sunday afternoon, when the rec
ords of Coroner Clarke were
caused to show that Mrs. John
Duschen, residing at No. 91O
Elizabeth street, Mishawaka, had
died as the result of taking car
bolic acid.
A cloud surrounds the end OF
the young wife and the question
as to whether the deadly drug
was taken by accident or with
suicidal intent will perhaps never
be answered.
Mrs. Duschen had always been
in the most jovial humor. She
visited her parents every day and
Sunday morning called at the
residence of the latter, corner of
Grove and Margaret streets, and
seemed happy. She picked a bo-
quet of flowers, was jovial with
her father and mother and asked
her sister to join her and her hus-
band in the afternoon, arrange
ments having been made for
fishing trip up the river. After
returning to her own home she
spoke to neighbors in her usual
cordial and jovial manner and
prepared dinner. Her husband
had fallen asleep while reading.
He lay on the bed and the first
thing he recalls after passing in
to slumber is the cry MY God,
John. He jumped up, only to
see his young wife sink to the
floor. A doctor and her relatives
were Immediately summoned,
but she expired within less than
half hour, failing to recognize
her mother. The vial had fallen
to the floor from her hands, and
discolorations on her apron and
on the rug showed where drops
of the caustic acid had fallen.
The acid was purchased by Mr..
Duschen, who had wound on
one foot and used the acid as an
antiseptic wash when bathing the
member. The couple lived hap
PLY, had no trouble and the cosy
little home with its furnishings
indicates that the man had de-
MED nothing to his young wife.
Her death was sad blow to him
and severe shock to the mother
and father who thought SO much
of her.
The deceased was the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Rol-
Ter. She was born in Marshall
county and would have been 24
years of age this coming August.
She was married November 6,
1906, to Mr.. Duschen, the latter
having been a South Bend boy.
Surviving her are the parents !;
the husband, two sisters, Miss
Margaret, who is at home, and
Mrs. Mary Enton, of Lowell,
Mich. There ar also five broth
ers, George, Jacob, John, Will
liam and Harry, thet three last
mentioned living in Mishawaka.
There appears to be an idea on
the part of the acting coroner
that the case was one of suicide.
1t is said that, while there may
have been no trouble of any kind
and no real reason, the deadly
drug was snatched from the shelf
and drank while the young wom-
an was in a spell of temporary in.
sanity. Five minutes later and
she perhaps would not have
thought of such a thing.
Funeral arrangements have not
yet been completed, but the SER
vices will likely be held Wednes-
day at the residence, Rev. M.
Goffeney officiating.
Flora Roller was born and
raised in Plymouth, having resid-
ed here, up to about four years
ago. Her father, Jacob Roller,
was stone mason in this city.

The council perhaps has not
given the thought of municipal
ownership the consideration that
it merits because they believe our
financial affairs at this time
would not warrant the invest

change for the better within the

In the way proposed municipal
