OLD LANDMARK
MAY PASS SOON
ID. T. McOwen Secures Ten
tative Option on Big
Park Street Site.
PLANS MONSTER HOTEL

The possibility of the passing of one
of the oldest landmarks in the city of
Kenosha and the erection of a modern
hotel on the site doomed up today when
it became known that D. r. McOwen,
the proprietor of the Kenosha Hotel.
had signed an option for the purchase
of the building site t the corner of
Church and Park streets, just west of
the Kenosha Hotel property. The
property is a part of the Theirs estate
and the carrying out of the option will
be contingent on litigation now under
way to clear up the titles so that the
transfer may be made.
The livery stable building and black
smith shop now located on the site
will be torn down in the event that
the option is exercised and in their
place will be built large addition to
the Kenosha Hotel, which will make
it one of the largest hotels in south
ern Wisconsin.
Wait for Litigation.
+ The estate has long been waiting for
litigation to clear up the title and it
was dOHllICSQ O4lAo AIlOlll1IlB IudG tHS
cases might have to be carried through
several courts and perhaps over seas
to England before the option could be
exercised. There is, however, a posi-
bility of clearing up the title by an
other legal method in several months
in which case the new building may be
started in the near future.
"This may be five years away" said
Mr. McOwen this morning as he said
that he had taken an option and was
waiting for court action before taking
definite hold of the property. "If I do
secure the property, I intend to erect
large hotel there but from present
indications this will not happen for
several years"
The imperfection in the title to the
property has long blocked plans for
the improvement Of the site and it is
believed that the securing Of the OPP
ton is an indication that the old land
mark now located there will soon be
a thing Of the past.

Constantinople. - General Denikine,
former commander of anti-bolsheviki

ovsky were talking with Prince Cor
garin and several other Russians in
the sitting room at the embassy and
