NET OF EVIDENCE
CLOSES ON MILL|NER
Authorities Inclined to Fas-
ten Guilt of Fire on
Miss BrasWell.
HER CLOTHES ARE REMOVED
Investigation Is Made and 1t Is
Found That Insurance Three
Days After Fire.

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Oct 81. - The
network of accusing evidence is rapidly
winding around Miss Lucille Braswell,
who is suspected throughout Indiana
Harbor of having set fire to her mil
linery store on last Saturday evening
Miss Braswell has not yet returned to
Indiana Harbor. She says the insur-
ance expired three days after the fire
Miss Braswell is known to have re-
moved her clothes from the building on
Saturday afternoon, taking them to the
Lake Shore depot in suitcase. These
are but a few of the incidents leading
up to the fire that convince those who
know the woman that she was the in
cendiary. Chief of Police Higgins,
however, is still at loss to under
stand the woman's motive in doing such
an act and is skepticaI of her guilt
According to the tale told to the po-
lice department, Miss Braswell recently
questioned Mrs. b. L. Travis, who re-
sides in the same building. regarding
the insurance on her furniture. You
really should carry insurance" she told
Mrs. Travis. Some of these nights fire
will break out up here and you will
be without a home. People think l
have no insurance but have"
An effort will be made to locate the
woman in Gary few weeks ago she
expressed a desire to start life anew
in the steel town. Her burden of debts
which are said to amount to several
hundred dollars, restrained her from so
doing, and this perhaps lent the motive
| for the destruction of her stock.

MORRIS AND COMPANY
MAY BUILD THIS FALL
Have a Big Site on South
Side in Gary for Stor-
age Plant.

1t is expected that the work on the
Morris & Co. cold storage plant, on the
south side, near the Pennsylvania
tracks. will be started this fall If the
present plans of the company are car
ried out. The lot upon which they in
tend to build has a two hundred foot
frontage on Broadway. $50 feet on
Twenty first avenue and 262 feet on the
Pennsylvania tracks. Nearly all of this
ground they intend TO occupy with
buildings, so that the structure when
complete will be one of the largest in
the city.
1t is thought that it will be even
larger than the immense building being
Broadway, at the Wabash tracks. The
cost of the barns. storage plant. ware
rooms, etc, will probably reach as high
as $4,000. If the construction work be-
gins at once they can probably have ii
under roof before winter. The plans
for the building have been drawn by
the companys craftsmen in Chicago
and the work will be supervised by
their men.
1t is planned to make this plant the
distributing point for northern Indiana
that purpose in view. The erection OF
this building will materially help the
appearance of the south end. There are
several other buildings which are pro-
posed for this section of the city. sucf
as bank building, which will likely BIZ
started in the spring.

taken to jail. but Mrs. Beerman was
somewhat slow and her spouse was re-
leased by the city authorities.
Mrs. Beerman then consulted her at
