TROUBLE
WITH LADY

According to Attorney G. c. White,
who represented William c. Werner
recently arrested on a statutory charge
by his wife, who claimed that Werner
has been living with another woman
in Hammond after he had deserted her
In Mount Vernon, Iowa, said that he
had settled all OF the difficulties between
Werner, his wife and Miss Lille Nc
Cool, with whom he is living.
Werner had been tried in the Ham
mond city court and was bound over on
the statutory charge. 1t was expected
that he would have to be sent to Crown
Point this morning in default of the
5000 bail. when Werner called Attor-
ney G. C. White into the cas- eand
White managed to make settlement
with Miss McCool.
BY the terms of this settlement Wer-
ner acknowledges his criminal rela-
tions with Miss McCool and agrees to
stand all of the resulting expense.
Werner denies that parts of the story
told BY the woman are true.

MOVES IN
new HOME
Lake County Savings and
Trust Company Hold Re-
ception for Public in Mag
nificent New Home on
State and Holman.

The magnificent new quarters of the
Lake County Savings and Trust com
pany, which have been located in the
old Commercial Bank building. Temod-
eled at a cost of $4,000, are open to
the public today and every one Of the
many enthusiastic patrons who call are
being given appropriate favors in the
way of flowers for the ladies and cigars
for the men.
The new quarters house the Lake
County Savings and Trust company and
the real estate firm of Gostlin, Meyn &
Co, and it is safe TO say that there is
not another institution in the entire
state of Indiana which has more sump-
tuous quarters.
No Expense Is Spared.
No expense has been spared to make
the new home of these Institutions
worthy of their prestige in the north
ern Indiana business world. The en-
trance of the building was changed to
the Holman street front and there an
attractive lobby has been built. which
is reached through a greatly enlarged
entrance.
Convenience. comfort facility in the
transaction of business and artistic
treatment are all characteristic of the
new quarters. The floor is of mosaic.
the dashboards are of marble. the wood
| work is Of highly polished oak. the fix
| lures represent the highest attainment
of the cabinetmaker along these lines
and the vaults, both for the. bank and
the safe deposit boxes, have all of the
modern Improvements that the present
day ingenuity has developed.
Beautiful Are Decorations.
The ceilings are decorated with at
tractive plaster of paris corniceE and
beams and are decorated by an artist.
Utility, stability and beauty have been
the ends sought and attained in the
remodeling and refurnishing of these
magnificent quarters.
After a hard nights work the new
bank and real estate office were made
ready for public inspection this morn
ing. The florist was literally patron
lied, and the desks and railings were
decorated with plants. flowers and
vines
Perhaps the most radiant thing about
the place was the smiling faces Of the
officials Of the bank and the office en-
ployes. Peter W. Meyn. the president
of the bank. the organizer of the IN
stitution and the moving spirit in Its
progress during the years of its growth.
was ready to welcome the patrons
whose patronage and confidence in his
: management have made the institution
one Of the most powerful in the entire
Calumet region.
David Emery. Mr. Meyh's right-hand
mand. was also on hand to greet his
friends and welcome them to the new
home of the institution which he has
been instrumental in building up. 9th

there and all were happy to see at last

templated.

manufacturing company of Mishawaka,
Ind. He and his son. Harris. together
with Richard Flagg, a chum Of young
Eberhardt went to Chicago on a trip
combining business and pleasure.
They spent all day yesterday in the

fine spirits, looking forward to the
automobile ride to Mishawaka.
A DANGEROUS CROSSING.
The car passed through Hammond at
about 6 o'clock and sped on toward
Munster. At this place the road is cut
through a hill, as is the railroa and the
crossing, IS one of the most dangerous
in northern Indiana.
It is positively impossible for a per-
son riding in an automobile to see an
approaching train, and it is equally Inn
possible for the engineer of the train
TO see an object on the crossing.

ERIE TRAIN
IS ROBBED IN
EFFETE EAST.

New York, July 24.--When the Erie
limited reached Paterson. n. J.. yester-
day the conductor learned that a hold
up had been pulled off while the train
was running at a forty mile clip be-
tween Jersey City and Paterson. Tho
noise the victims were making gave
him the first news of the robbery.
The two rear cars were occupied by
sixty emigrants. Two men entered tho
emigrant cars just after the limited left
Jersey City. They wasted no time.
One man, who was masked, stood at
the front door of the first car with q
revolver ready for business His pal
went through the coach from end TO,
end nimbly frisking the passengers.
The emigrants showed no fight and
handed out their money in q hurry.
The highwayman wasn't satisfied
werely with making the emigrants turn
their pockets inside out. He made them
empty their valises and bundles. The
trick was repeated IN the second car.
It was impossible for the trainmen
to learn just how much money the
emigrants lost. Evidently the robbers
left the train just as 1t was slowing
down for Paterson.

people that returned from a storm

It was the annual outing of the Chi

excursionists were two score Ham

and their friends.
The trip was made on the big ex-
cursion steamer Theodore Roosevelt
which left Chicago yesterday morning
about 10 o'clock and arrived in Michi-
gan City shortly after noon. A rough
and chopped sea prevailed throughout
the trip, the return being worse than
the outgoing trip. OF the 1900 eX-
cursionists who were on the boat, less
than a score escaped seasickness. The
sailors on the boat said that it was one
of the toughest trips for many seasons.
