SUIT BROUGHT BY FORMER RESIDENT — INDIANAPOLIS- Arthur Jordan, ' Indianapolis capitalist and philanthropist, was made defendant in a million dollar breach of promise suit tiled by Mrs. Margaret E. Melter of Goshen. . Mis. Melter alleged Jordan asked ‘ hei to Ynarry him Aug. 25, 1928. and after she had spent a large amount of’money in preparation for the weddinc, he said he "would not marry her.” The suit alleges Mrs. Melter spent $2,50d for her trousseau and several thousand dollars for personal effects” in living in a station of life compatible with that of the , defendant.” Mrs. Meker met Jordan in Indianapolis, her attorneys said. GOSHEN Mrs. Melter, who resides at 110 East Monroe street, left for Indianapolis Tuesday without saying when she would return. She came to Goshen a number of years ago, after residence at Lake Wawasee and for some time resided at 206 East Washington street. She was at one time married to a Chicago dentist, from whom she was divorced before removing to this city, it is said. Mrs. Melter, as Mrs. Cooly, owned the lake property on the southside of Wawasee now owned by James Waltz.

PRO GOLF TOURNEY AT TURKEY CREEK WON BY PAULSON Guy Paulson of Orchard Ridge, Fort Wayne, and Pete Daran of the Elks Club there won the professional golf exhibition match play, .by two up, Sunday afternoon, at the Turkey Creek Golf course, from Enno Franke South Shore Gulf Club, Inc., and Dominic Perry of the Wawasee Golf Club. Eighteen holes were played by the pros before a large and appreciative gallery. f At the end of the first 1) holes the Fort Wayne pros were 3 h- les up on} the Lake Wawasee boys, but on the ! second nine, Franke settled down > and by some hard driving and ‘fine J putting managed to eventually cut down the Fort Wayne pros lead. On the 17th hole, however, the visitors were still two up and with only one more hole to play, won the match. The. 18th . holewas-played : with each one taking 5 so the final, score was not changed. During the entire match the Lake' Wawasee boys never had the op-j ponents down. Guy Paulson was easily the mqst brilliant as well as the most consistent player of the four. He tied the course record, which is-. 35 for 9 holes ! the first time around, and had a fine chance to break the record when on I the ninth hole, his ball lay on the green in 3 with alO foot putt to make, for a birdie, and a total of 34, The ball on this putt circled the cup ' but to the dismay of the spectators it had too much-momentum to drop into the cup. And Paulson like the other three players had a 5. On the fourth hole the first time around Paulson proved that he was, a real medal player. Hi.s tee shot was to the left and in the rough. 1 His second shot was behind an apple tree which stood directly between his ball and the pin. Paulson < looked around, decided that he could not j pitch over the tree and shot for the j green, clearing the trunk of the I tree by inches, and made the green.! Paulson’s putting was-also deadly,: he made a 20 foot put on the seventh hole, good for an eagle three. I Pete Duran did his usual long dis- x tance driving with a smile, some-1 times for around . 300 yards. The driving in feet was one of the features of the game, for Duran, Paulson and Franke were hitting the ball, i Frank once getting 325 yards, . Dominic Perry did not play his usual consistent golf In the last nine, he started to press and sliced into the rough several times. He had an infected finger which probably had something to do with his playing. His second shot with the iron usually brought cheers from the spectators.
