GRANDFATHERIS
HANGED IN | 1888
Louis kIeinau HeilwagOn Killed
Yesterday Relative of Hamp-
ton Murderer.

Thirty-six years ago. the last
criminal hanged in Rock Island
county previous to the execution of
Will Carter. colored, on March Is,
1918, was William Heilwagon Of
Hampton township, grandfather of
Louis (Kleinau) Heilwagon, who
was murdered yesterday morning
by Henry Dennhardt in East Mo-
line.
William Heilwagon was hanged
on a scaffold erected on the north
side of the Rock Island county Jail
on March "a, 1888. He was con-
victed of the murder of his sons
wife, Dorothy Heilwagon, believed
to be the mother of Louis He'll
wagon who met his fate yesterday.
The murder was committed on
Sept. 3, 1881, and the body was
found on the Heilwagon farm in
Hampton Bluff with wounds bru-
tally inflicted about the head with a
hammer. The Heilwagon farm was
located between the villages of
WATERFOWL and Hampton.
HeilwagOn was arrested and tried
III 1909, the LIldl IdSIlHS one week.
He was found guilty and sentenced
to hang. The execution was pri-
vate. only several attorneys and
friends witnessinEthe death. E. E.
Parmenter was then states attor-
ney.
Heilwagon's son, husband of the
murdered woman, later committed
suicide in Adams county, Illinois.
AS the father was convicted on cir
cumstantial evidence, the sons sui
eide led many to believe that NE
might have been the guilty party.
In fact the sons suicide created
such a profound impression that
many people openly declared that
an innocent man had been hanged.
Goaded on by the many rumors
aflcat States Attorney Parmenter
conducted an exhaustive inyestiga-
ton of the case. Every possible
clue was run down but the prose
cutor failed to verify any of the
stories that the son might have
been the murderer.

REAL CITY
STORE FOR E. M.
First Department Business House
in City May he Located in
Loop District

Opening of East Moline's first real
department store will be made pos
sible shortly if the deal now pend
ing is negotiated for the purchase
of the southwest corner on Ninth
street and Fifteenth avenue
There are three buildings located
on the lot facing Fifteenth avenue,
East Moline's main thoroughfare.
The lot has frontage of so feet,
and it is understood that the con-
sideration is $4,000, or $1,000 a
foot. A firm in West Liberty, Iowa,
has an option on the corner and if
closed, will put up one of the finest
and most modern department stores
in this vicinity. Mons Nelson owns
the property. IL the rear of the lot
is "a three-story building, the two
upper floors being used as a room
ing house and on the ground floor
is located a garage. If the Iowa
company builds. it is believed that
they will remodel the three front
buildings and will probably later
make the rear structure a part OF
the new store.
East Moline has no real depart
ment store. 1t is supporting several
general stores, which are depart
ment stores on a small scale. 1t is
predicted that East Moline will in
a few years become a city on the
same scale as her neighbOring
towns. Several other new projects
are under way. A five story hote9 is
to be started soon. Many other
structures are being built and the
United States government has found
it fit to build government homes on
two East Moline tracts.

Miss Anna w. Anderson, who
yesterday took up her duties as
city clerk of Moline. says that
there is nothing strange about be-
ing the only woman in Illinois
elected 20 an important munich
pal office. Miss Anderson's atti-
tude is probably due to the fact
that she has been in the Office of
the city clerk for II years.
She served under two city clerks
while Moline was under the ad-
miniStration of the aldermanic
plan of government and for the
last eight years she has been as
sistant to {. V. Johnson, city
clerk and commissioner of &C
counts and finance.
Miss Anderson is a graduate of
the Moline public schools. She is
the daughter of Mrs. Charlotte
Anderson, I'll Sixteenth street,
Moline She was elected on the
Republican ticket, with practically
no opposition. Miss Anderson's
name was placed on the ballot
against her wishes as someone
filed the petition without her
knowledge.

people efficient service" said the
first woman city clerk in the state
today. 4 don't think it's going to
