Jobwork Neatly and Promptly
Executed at This Office
After Half
A Century
By JOHN TURNLEE
One morning when John Merton of
Chicago awoke and looked out through
his front window he noticed some meu
digging in a vacant lot opposite. He
was seized with trepidation lest some
objectionable building was to be erect
ed on the lot and, dresslug himself,
went out to make inquiries. He learn
ed that the lot had been sold and the
owner was about to erect on it a soap
factory.
Mr. Merton at once sought the man
and secured an option ou the lot at a
substantial profit to the latter. Theu
he visited several of his neighbors,
proposing that they should club to
gether and protect the locality by buy
*ng the lot Only one person, a inau
Lamed Gawtry, was willing or per
haps able to make such au investment,
and he and Merton became (lie owners.
By agreement they put the property in
the hands of a trust company, to bo
divided among the heirs of the third
generation, or the grandchildren of the
two owners. The Mertons were to
have the north half and the Gawtrys
the south half.
Twenty years later, both Merton and
Gawtry being dead and the part of the
city in which the lot lay having be
come used for business, the trustees
leased the lot for thirty years, aiid a
store building was erected upon it.
By the terms of the lease at its expira
tion the building was to belong to the
owner of the lot.
Meanwhile the descendants of the
Joint owners bud become si-aiimil. the
trust company's directors ami ■■fllccrs
had been changed, and there was no
descendant of either Merton or Gaw
try who knew about the lot. for which
but $500 had been paid by the two pur
chasers.
One day im ativerusemeni appeareu
for grandchildren of the late John
Merton am' Samuel Gawtry. it elicit
ed no response and was repeati-d from
time to time for a year, when it met
the eyes of a young bank c lerk named
Spencer in a western city. Ills fa
ther and mother were dead, but lie
knew that his mother's maiden name
was Merton. He wrote to the adver
tiser and received a printed statement
setting forth the facts in the case of
the Mertcn-Gawtry lot. Spencer, con- f
vlnced that the John Merton named
was his grandfather, investigated the i
case and, after a long hunt, found that
he was the ouly living grandchild of i
the said Merton and consequently heir
to the north half of the property.
No response to the advertisement
whatever came from the Gaxvtrv side,
and no division could l>e made of the
lot and building until the heirs in this
family were found. John Spencer, de
sirous of coming into what was a for
tune, at once made it his business to
hunt up these heirs. Fie began at the
fountalnhead, making inquiries as to
the first and second generations of
Gawtrys, and learned tli.1t a son of
Samuel Gawtry had settled in Detroit
Spencer went to Detroit, where he
learned that the widow of Samuel
Gawtry of the second generation w:is
living In straitened circumstances
Not wishing to excite false hopes in
this person, he made Inquiries in a
roundabout way and learned that the
original Gawtry had had several cbil
dren, but the only living grandchild
was Marian Gawtry, daughter of the
widow he had found. Having pro
ceeded thus far. Spencer returned to
Chicago and reported his find to the
trust company and left its officers to
satisfy themselves that he (Spencer!
and Marian Gawtry were the heirs to
the property In question and. this
done, to give each heir a half.
One morning Miss Marian Gawtry,
when about to go to her school duties,
took a letter from the postman inform
Ulii UCI l"«>. »«». . -
Chicago was ready to convey to her
one-half of a certain lot and building in
that city bequeathed to lier by her
grandfather, Samuel Gawtry. She re
ferred the matter to her mother, who
said she had never heard of lier father
owning such property, lie had left
Chicago forty years before, a poor
man. Miss Gawtry put (he matter
down as a mistake and, proceeding to
school, thought no more about it.
One evening she received a call from
a young man named Spencer. lie was
about to mention the fact that she was
nn heiress when it occurred to him that
since there was a building on the prop
erty there might be difficulty in divid
ing It and it would be Iwtter that they
should own it together. But lie was an
honorable fellow and scorned to win
her knowing that she was nn heiress.
"Miss Gawtry," hesnid. "I have come
to Detroit to Inform you that you are
joint owner with me of a lot and build
ing In Chicago worth in all half a mil
lion dollars."
The young lady, remembering the
former Information she had received on
this subject, coolly remarked:
"That's a mistake. My mother snys
her father owned no such property in
Chicago."
"Will you marry nie if what I tell
you Is true?"
"If you can convince me that I am
worth the sum you name I'll marry
you!"
Spencer eventually proved his case
and held her to her promise. Since
they had been mutually pleased with
each other and a division of the prop
erty was hard to effect Miss Gawtry
was by no means loath to keep it.
All of which goes to show that our
fates are often determined by small
matter*.

OS BANK LOOTING CHARGE
Chicago, April 5— Former United
States Senator William Lorimer,
Chicago's "blonde less" of other
years, is scheduled to go 011 trial
beforo Judge Kersten tcday, on
charges of conspiring to loot the de
funct LaSalle Street State Bank
& Trust company. Lorlmer was
president of the bank when it was
closed Juue 10, 1914. by State
Auditor James Brady.
Organized in May, 1910, the La
Salle Street National bank became
one of the most popular fiuaucial
institutions in the city. Its capi
tal was $l,000,0i»o with a sur
plus of $250,000. Charles B. Mun
day and other men known in finan
cial circles were cn its directorate.
Under Lorimer's direction the
bank was denationalized in October,
1912. Constant clashes with the
federal bank inspectors has been
assigned as tlie cause for the
denationalization. It became a
state bank with a capital stock of
$1,250,000. immediately there
was organized as subsidiaries to the j
central institution, five banks car
rying small accounts.
