BRIEF HONEYMOON
FOR This PAIR
Young Couple Who Misrep-
resent Ages, Pursued
by Irate Mother.

Frank p Girard and Florence f
Decker both of Chicago have gotten
themselves into serious trouble by mis-
representing the facts regarding their
ages when they applied for marriage
license at Crown Point, June 5.
Girard swore that he was p years
old and Miss Decker swore She was 19
and so Clerk Wheeler granted them the
license. This did not end matters, how
ever. for when the mother of the girl
learned that her daughter had been
married she at once took measures TO
secure the anulment Of the union.
She went to Crown Point and inform
ed Mr. Wheeler that her daughter was
only 16 years old and that the young
man she married was only 70. Mr.
Wheeler OF course could do nothing
but to advise her that the thing for her
TO do was TO take the legal steps nee
essary to annul the marriage
This viii be done and the brief mar
ried career of the adventuresonae cou-
PIE will be brought TO an end. Mr.
Wheeler says that it is impossible ir
some cases 10 tell whether the couple
contemplating matrimony is of age and
that there are doubtless many cases
where couples under age are married

an awful death last night. Kedkie was

was either go into or get fired, he chose
the former.

for about ten minutes and failed to
come out. men standing near ventured
within, and by the aid of graphing

was known as one of the hardest
workers In the department in which
/ he was employed. He was unmarried

WHO'LL Be WINNERS?
This Still Open Question Which Can
not Be Answered Until Last

Nobody Knows.
AS to who will win is a matter of
speculation even in office Of the LAKE

of the candidates have been working
/ hard with splendid results and 1t is
also known that the number of votes
counted for these candidates is not
equal TO the number they have secured
so there can be but one conclusion.
namely that some of the candidates are
holding back votes.
This comprcates matters greatly and
until the votes are all counted no one
will know who will win. Realizing
this several of the candidates who are
in the lead are working just IS hard
as though they were farther down the
list and are not going to take any
chances with being surprised

Both Worked at Gibson
Police In estigating.

The parents of Miss Katherine
Jung. the pretty 19-year-old Ham,
mond girl who left her home at 40
Clinton street last Thursday in such
a mysterious manner. have heard moth
ing further from their daughter. and
are anxiously awaiting letter telling
of her whereabouts. 4 new compli-
cation has arisen in the case, when it
was found this morning that another
young man, a former schoolmate of
the girl, has likewise passed up his
good home and went off to parts un-
known. The young man is Tony APP
pleton. who resides on May street.
Mrs. Jung stated to a TIMES reporter
today, that she feels confident that her
daughter did not marry Harry Piper
the married man, who left these parts
about the same time as did. the young
girl. Although she received no fur
ther word from the girl, she thinks
that she may now be staying with reIa-
tives in Champaign county, Ill, and
that in the near future she will write
to her family and tell them all about
her sudden disappearance.
Tony Failed to Return.
Mrs. Jung also said that last night
pleton. who knew the young woman
and whose son was a friend of the
young woman and worked with her at
Gibson. She states that the woman
told her that her son had not returned
last night and that she was much
concerned over his absence. Mrs. APP
pleton called at her house this morn
ing and stated that Tony Appleton. her
son, had not returned and that she
thought he had run away. The boy is
19 years of age and was a former
schoolmate of Miss Jung, although he
was not attentive to her so far as is
known. 1t is thought by Mrs. jung
however that the cwo may now be to-
gether. Mrs. Appleton told her. she
states, that the boy came to her and
kissing her goodbye yesterday morn
i ing left the house and that he resigned
| his position at Gibson and that was the
