Former Minneapolis
Woman Killed By
Common-law Mate
FORMER MINNEAPOLIS PEOPLE
FIGURE IN TRAGEDY.
Especial to HERALD)

SHICdSO, ILL.,, Lee. 1.-TWO former
Minneapolis residents were the chief
figures In murder which occurred
here Thanksgiving night. Edward
Wilson who formerly lived at 2O1O
Cedar Ave., Minneapolis, killed Mrs.
Leila Settle, also former Minneapolis
resident, with a butcher knife with
which he cut her throat from ear to
ear. The woman when residing in
Minneapolis lived with Robert Settle
as his wife and for a while operated
a dress making shop at the corner of
3Sth and Fourth Ave. S. Several
years ago the Settles moved to Chi
cago. The whereabouts of Settle,
carpenter by trade are unknown.
According to the story told the po-
lice by Wilson who was apprehended,
Mrs. Settle and Wilson had been liv-
ing together as man and wife for
three years. 1t is not known whether
she met him before she went to Chi
cago or not.
Investigation into the death of Mrs.
Leila Settle, SO years old, whose throat
was cut from ear to ear by her alleg-
ed conmoti-1aw mate early Thanks
giving night, revealed that she was on
her way to visit John Boatwright,
4157 Indiana Ave-, when Edward Will
son ambushed her. Mrs. Settle was
murdered just as she was about to
enter the building carrying plate of
food in her arms.
Police concluded she was taking
Thanksgiving dinner to friend, but
early investigation failed to reveal
the identity of the person she was 60
ing to see.
A man who gave his name as Boat
wright was quoted as saying "She was
coming to see me- and was placed un-
der arrest. He was subjected to Sc
we're grilling and finally told the police
he suspected man named Edward
Wilson"
Mrs. Settles head was nearly sew
cred from her body, so forceful and
vicious did the man WELD his razor.
Find Wilson In Bed
Wabasha Ave. police, summoned to
the scene, removed the women to
Kersey, MCGOWAN & Morsells under
taking parlors, 3515 Indiana Ave-, and
shortly afterward located Wilson in
bed at 1909 Prairie Ave., where he
and the woman had lived with other
members Of her family.
Officers said Wilson's clothing were
covered with blood when they arrived.
He was handcuffed and taken to the
station for questioning and to be held
for inquest Friday morning.
Jealousy was given as the motive
for the savage Staying, which has been
characterized as the most brutal to
occur on the South Side in many
months.
Hides Behind Post
According to reports, Wilson went
home and found Mrs. Settle out. 1t
was not learned how he discovered
where she had left home to go, but he
borrowed so cents and hired a cab
to take him to 42d st. and Indiana
Ave. He was standing behind a post
near the Indiana Ave. Grocery store
when the woman got off northbound
street car.
AS Mrs. Settle, with the plate of
food in her arm, walked unsuspect-
ingly toward him Wilson cruched,
and as she came in line with him he
leaped on her like tiger and slashed
her throat. The act was committed
so quickly that the women did not
ever scream. Her lifeless body was
found by passerby who notified the
police.

you know how your own act WHEN
THEY'RE NOT All HOME! You can
talk about how ridiculous some other
person carried on when he was un-
der the influence of alcoholic spirits,
provided you've NEVER been pie
eyed yourself.
And that, dear readers, is the pfin-
ciple of the whole affair. Some of
the names of my darling friends have
been mentioned as those who were
especially talkative land not entirely
accurately on the subject Of my party
antics. One girl who lives on st.
Anthony Avenue, and who had quite
a bit more to say about the business
than anyone else, has two or three
very dark spots in her private life,

quently been so wobbly, that she re-
sembled i newborn calf staggering to
it's mother, waged her tongue until
she got out of breath, and almost died
of suffocation.
Three or four brothers and sisters
were seriously hampered by the pre-
sence of parents or Uncle this, or
Aunt that, and had to walk the chalk
line all evening during the party.
And talking of parents. There are
some parents who are SO BUSY talking
about the offspring of other folks,
that they fail to see that they had
better start some salvation work at
home. If all their own brood did was
to make whoopee too publicly, they
could slap themselves on the back,
but the queer part of it is, some Of the
parents who have been the most jab-
bering about the "disgraceful'' actions
of my little spree, have kids who fall
in the house in such states of inebria-
ton that they have to be fairly car
ried to be.
There were many spectators on the
sidelines last Thursday evening, who
were watching and waiting for some
one to give them something to talk
about. Well, they got it! If it did
their souls any good, maybe it was
worth it! And so you dear, good, Cos
sips, live everyone else's life, and
mind everyone else's business. But
. if you mind my personal affairs, too
much, I'll drag some of the skeletons

day Yours Truly is going to write

Chapter B MASQUERADE

The red-scarfed rider had evil dently had drink or two, but he appeared level-headed, and slowly the devilish geniality with which fls had accosted Amy Dabb faded into cold, speculative action. His tawny gaze swept Rock from head to foot, and back again.
 'Howdy. Mister Big Hatl" he re- plisd.
 My name is Rock"
 ffAboot he'd thet reekoned," re- turned the rider, guardedly.

 wal, cain't say there was any particular call to rustic"
 Thus these two range riders measured each other. The foreman of Hesbitt's outfit appeared to be- long to that type of cowboy whom Rock was wont to believe the salt cf the earth.

 It shore is. I'm an old friend of Amy Dabb's. Rode for her hus- band. Reckon it's not exaggeratni' to claim I'm his friend, too. 2eAll right, Rock, I apologize" re- turned the foreman, readily, though rssentfully. But honest to God, it shore ain't because I think ought to.

 NO wonder, if you though bad of her rejoined Rock, feeling his way. This man could be talked to. Reckon you don't know Amy well She's a lonesome and unhappy girl.

Trueman Rock strolled to his hotel. Ash Preston was in town, hiding. Al had confided this bit of dismaying news. He had discov- cred it quite by accident, through a Mexican, and believed that Ash had ridden in under cover of night. The Mexican had said that Ash was not drinking. This was even more disturbing than the fact of his presence. Rock had cautioned Al net to tell Thiry. It was pos sibla Ash would not recognize Thiry in her masquerade, and she would have some hours of pleasure, at least till She unmasked. But what was he up to? Last night the Cattle mems Association had met, and though the conference was not supposedly secret, they had most certainly locked the doors on many ranchers.
 Thiry hao been upset by Amy Dabb, had been rendered angry, doubtful, full of scorn-and, yes, jealous! If Thiry had secretly or even unconsciously been tenderly stirred by her fathers ayowal of Rocks love, that would account for her reaction to Amy and to him.
 Darkness had long set in when he left the hotel Rock tried his disguise, voice as well as suit and mask. upon the clerk, Clarke the proprietor, and the porter. They had not recognized him; wherefor he headed toward the town hall, .reading on air.
 Rock ran the gauntlet of merry jests, to the entrance at the main corridor of the hall. Inside the door was a gate, guarded by men, one of whom was the town sheriff, very important and pompous. Two plac- ards struck Rocks eye. One read. No Admittanee to Anyone not in Masquerade. And the other sign, larger, read: Check your Hardware and Bottle.
 'iHowdy, gamblerl" greeted the sheriff. "Scuse me while I search you Mrs. Dabb's orders"

Dusky maids, 1.-the and graceful. bronzed youths, Stalwart and agile, will sway and tread in measures time to the tom-tom beat of bar barrie music at the Chilkat tribal dances tonight in Elks hall.

 Many of the dances and songs and all the pantomimes will be de scriptive of tribal customs and and these will be lucidly by a young Chilkat who has the advantages of an American college education.
 45 ChiIkats Are Here
 Forty-five Chilkats are here from on Lynn Canal to partici- pate in tonight's entertainment. They have brought with them their ceremonial robes and costumes, and these will be worn in the present. = ton of the various numbers of the program. f1'
