weeks and this was never explained un-
til THE TIMES story appeared.
GOSTLIN CONFIRMS STORY.
William II. Gostlin of Gostlin, Meyn
& Co. of Hammond today confirmed the
story that was printed in THE TIMES
last Saturday. He was dumbfounded to
know that the story had leaked out but
said that it was true in every detail.
A. NJ. Deweese of the Erie railroad.
in Hammond was interviewed this
morning and said that he had been
aware of the fact that the officials OF
the road had purchased a large amount
of acreage in the vicinity of Crown
Point for terminal yards purposes, but
he did not know that the story had be-
come public.
Will ]. Davis, who owns a large farm
north of Crown Point. said today that
he was greatly interested in THE TIMES
story and that 1t would mean a great
| deal to Crown Point. He said that
| President Underwood of the road had
| talked to him regarding the plans of
| the road to double track from North
Judson to Hammond and run the C. &c
o. trains over the Erie tracks from that
point to Chicago.
CROWN POINT INTERESTED.
1t is believed that the work on the
new Erie yards at Crown Point will be-
gin in the near future. The work of
construction will result in activity that
i'll make the people of the county seat
sit up and take notice.
The fact that the Chesa peake & Ohio
| will run it's trains through Crown
| Point from North Judson will be a boon
to the people of the north end of the
county.
/ 1t will give double the train service
between the two cities and will make
Crown Point much more accessible than
it has been in the past 1t is expected
that ne depots In Hamnond- and Crown
Point will be one rof the probabilities OF
the future.
Taken all in ALL the 9ctivity of the
Erie railroad is pregnant with un-
dreamed of possibilities, and the whole
4 region will, benefit from the change.

DEATH OF E. SLAYTON.
Especial to THE TIMES. }

Lowell, Ind, Sept 1S.-Frank Stay
ton, an old and highly respected citi-
zen of Lowell, aged rs, died at Long
cliffe asylum Saturday night. and his
remains arrived in Lowell yesterday.
He will probably be buried tomorrow
in the Lowell. cemetery. Mr. Slayton
had gradually failed in health for two
or three years until at last his reason
left him and his mind was that of a
child. His aged wife being in very
poor health. it was found necessary to
take him TO the asylum about two
months ago. The deceased is well
known in this community, and his life
has been an honorable one, being of a
very kind and generous nature.
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1911-09-18

If the plans now under conSidera-
ton by the high officials of the Erie
railroad at New York City are car
ried out Crown Point will have an
other railroad and the train service
between Crown Point and Hammond
will be doubled.
The Erie railroad proposes to
double track its road from North Jud-
son to Hammond and the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad will run over the
Erie from North Judson to Chicago.
This is one of the stupendous projects
that the Erie railroad officials have un-
der consideration for the development
of the western terminal of their lines
STORY A SENSATION.
THE TIMES exclusive story last Satur-
day created tremendous sensation in
Hammond and Crown Point. For the
very first time the people of the county
seat were aware of the fact that an
enormous sum of money is to be spent
in yards and shops north of Crown
Point and that an industry is to be
hundreds of men.
In Hammond the fact that the plan
includes the elimination of the yards
and shops which have cut the city ir
twain and will open up scores of acres
of land for subdivision purposes was
the biggest railroad news item published
since THE TINES informed the people
| the lakes to the gulf plans of the Chi
lcago, Indiana and Southern railroad.
| For years the Erie railroad has beeI
| in such financial straits that the hand
of it's officials have been tied. Recent
| ly it has begun to make money an
hundreds of thousands of dollars are t
| be spent in the development of 1t
1 western facilities.
| A report from Crown Point is to th'
| effect that a number of special train
bearing railroad officials have gon

LOTS WERE
DISPOSED OF

Gostlin, Meyn G. Co. today announc-
ed that the auction sale of lots had
been great success. Forty-one lots
sold out in three days and brought
over $4,000.
The sale cleaned up over half of the
lots in the subdivision. If the weather
had been better yesterday it is believed
that the number of lots old would have
been larger.
AS it was there were over $50 people
at the sale. Many people bought prop
erty at the auction who could not be
induced to make a purchase in any
other way.
Auctioneer Fryerhofer proved to be
an expert, and the sale was a success
from every point of view. The princi-
pal advantage from the real estate
mans point of view is the fact that
he is able to clean out a subdivision
in a hurry.
