GARY GETS
SURPRISING
INFORMATION
Report Has 1t That Assist
ant Postmaster Frank D.
Meyers, Formerly of Rens-
selaer, Is Let Out by Or
ders From Washington.

Has Assistant Postmaster Frank D.
Meyers. one of Gary's pioneer citizens.
formerly of Rensselaer,. Ind. been let out
by Uncle Sam or has he just handed in
a plain resignation?
That IS the question which is caus-
ing no small amount OF gossip in the
Magic City today Indeed, it is the only
topic OF conversation.
Neither Postmaster Call nor Mr.
Meyers could be seen by Times re-
porters to ascertain the truth. though
every effort was made to do so.
At any rate Mr. Meyers. who was
Gary's first assistant postmaster when
Mayor Knots was losing money acting
as town postmaster. is out of Office. He
has been succeeded by w. f. Kidwell,
of Elwood, Ind
The Gary postoff1ce has been the
scene of some great old red tape I'M
winding for some time. No fewer than
three sets of postoffice inspectors have
visited Gary lately to unravel the
tangles there and Postmaster j. w.
Call has only just returned from Wash
ington. where the object of his mission
was never made public.
Mr. Meyers was one of the most
popular men ever connected with the
Gary postoffice and it is probable some
interesting developments will be
divulged soon.
When Mr.. Meyers came to this city
from his home in Rensselaer, he only
expected to help Postmaster Knots for
a period of two or three weeks. but he
was induced to stay for some time
longer and finally accepted a perma-
nent position as assistant postmaster
He then followed the office to the
Knots building and from there to the
Gary building, where 1t is now located
Mr. Meyers plans to enter the drug
business in this city, thereby going
back to his old trade In which he was
engaged for thirty years before he
started in the employment of the gov
eminent. He has several things in
view in that line in this city, but has
not determined just what he will do as
yet. His hard work and courtesy while
employed in the postoffce has been
generally appreciated by the public.

suited in a verdict of death due to
