CASVASS FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS TO MEET FIRST YEAR'S EXPENSES PROVING VERY SUCCESSmr PROBABLY WOODRUFF HALL Room Is Pecullarly Dﬂhﬂé’é for Council Ruom.’::i:ecnllw‘ ftices

It ix Nighly probable that the Boys Brothehood City will occupy th: Woodruff hall over F‘(\&:\k E. Millers grocery. . o :

" The room {is peculiarly fitted for the organjzation. In the front ars rooms which may bc used for the executive and judicial departments and a hall for a council chamber as well as assembly purposes. . : . The organization committer is making a canvass of -the -business men for subscriptions to meet the first year's expenses and is meeting with good success. 2 - | A meeting will soon be called t> perfect the preliminary organization and when this is done a convention will be called to nominate candidates for all municipal officers. And then the campaign will be on in real earnest. 2 : ;

Some ol the business men have suggested that the boys organizations ar range to all use the Woodruff hall as’ a meeting place, arranging the meeting nights- so as not to epnflict. The organizations are 'the Boys Brotherhood City, the Y. M. C. A, Boy Scouts and it has been suggested that®the girls organize a Y. W..C. A, S This is a matter however, which must be decided by the Boys Brotherhood City as this organization is acting independently of the others. _To Play Finish Game, . Ligonier’s high school girls basketball team will play a return game with the Waterloo team in this city some time in March which will end the series. Ligonier girls defcated the Waterloo girls some time ago in that town and there is little doubt of the success of the home team when the finish game is played here, The Ligonier girls have won all their games this sason and have also won a banquet to be given soon by C.

iu«mm:u BUILDING & INVEST- . MENT COMPANY WILL BUILD ‘v HOUSES FOR PERMANENT | RESIDENTS - HESITATES 10 SPECULATE Demands Must be Sufiicient to Justl fy Expenditures Before Action ks Taken :

Many nearby cities confronted with housing problem have organized com. panies to mect the situation. :

Ligonier was among the first t 6 incorporate such an institution,.but the organization was perfected too late in the fail to acécomplish much in the way of building. Another feature which has caused delayed action is the abmormal price of all materials entering into the construction of buildings. = :

The Ligonier Bullding & Improvement association made a careful survey of the city and procured a list of all houses for sale and for rent and it was found that present facilities furnish adequate accommodation for all residents, with a small mirgin to spare. : e

' The association will hesitate to launch inte a riot of building. It is officered by conservative business men who do not propose to gamble with the money of the stockholdres nor take chances on losing it. - What the stockholders reslly desire is to assist others to build rather than have the association do it, bu: it may be .necessary to change this plan. If the demand for dwelling honses increases with the influx of laborers to work in the factories, which seems highly probable the assoefation will build houses to meet the increased de mands if it follows out the objects for which it was organized. 2 The great majority: of the stockholders are engaged in active business and they desire to seg the city grow and expand. They are not looking tor nor expecting immediate returns oa their investment, being satisfied to take the enhancement of values in their possessions as reward. 5 Persons desiring to purchase homes or to build them will do well to consult the officers of the Building A""i sociation. = : !

The original plan mapped cut by the Association was to build moedern houses sell them outright or on installments or rent them to persons who desire to make Ligonier their permanent home; but up to this time theré have been few applications received. 1 S

- Judge - McDonald, in his Chicago court of Domestic Relations Tuesday, set aslde the decree of divorce granted some time ago to Dr. F. R. Baune from bis “wife Grace Baune, on testimony offered by Mrs. C. L. Sparr, of Ligonier and other witnesses, and further action i the suit has been continued It seems to be another case of worban’s trust and man’s perfidy, but if reports in the Chicago. papers may be relied upon the offenders have come to grief through those lovers of justice and fair play who have the courage te . : , =

“As the story goes Dr. F..R. Baune until July 3, 1919, lived happily with his wife and little daughter Dorothy in & beautiful home in Highland Park, a fashionable Chicago suburb, when he met Mreo Gertade Cunniff, a beautithl and fascinating young woman, the wife of a motion picture operatsr. . e doctor had a lucrative practice ylejding a large monthly lncome. He also owned asbig automobile and made trips in this car to Valparaiso, South Bend and other peints in Indiana accompapied by ‘s, Cunniff. When the Kahn Brothors Company _opened a shirt factory iw Ligonier Mre. Cunnift and Mrs. Sparr, the present efficient manager, were ‘sent here to start the machites and take charge of the business. Things went smoothly here foa few weeks during which time it is alleged Dr. Baune “framed” his wife, jed her into a trap with the aid of a private detective by the name of Webber, {rightened her into an agreemeént for a divorce and escaped a judgment for heavy alimony by making her a niggardly allowance. ~About this timeé Cunniff learned of the illlcit relations between Dr. Baune and his wife and laid plans to “get” the doctor. By a telephone: Tuse the irate husband lured the physician to an office {(with murderous -intent. ' The pistol failed to go off and Cunniff in his frenzy struck the doctor upon the head with a mallet and thinking he had killed him fled and has not since been located. Dr. Baune recovered and on October 31, 1919, came to Ligonier and registered at Hotel Bailey. While in Ligonier he met Mra, Cunniff and they rgturned to Chicago together. Then followed the suit of Elln. ‘Baune to set aside the divorce decree and the trip of Detective Webber to Ligonier to procure the hotel register which he gained by representing himséu‘%imnl officer.
