7 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1924 3 MERCHANT SLAIN BY NEGRO THIEF Wilmette Girls Near Scene of Shooting Irene Vetterick and Frances Miller, 1223 and 1225 Central avenue, respec- tively, were near-eyewitnesses of a fatal shooting last Sunday evening when, while seated in a booth in a confectionery at Church street and Benson avenue, Evanston, they sud- denly heard a shot and leaped up in time to see a man dash through the entrance and west on Church street. The girls fled from the building and notified the police who, a few mo- ments later, found Nuncio Masculino, the proprietor lying dead behind a counter. The murderer was indent- ified as a negro but had not been located late this week. Robbery was ascribed as the prob- able motive of the shooting, though verification could not be secured, since there were no actual witnesses of the shooting. The girls declared that no audible word passed between Mas- culino and the negro before the shoot- ing occured. Sometime after the fatal shooting in the Masculino confectionery, Pa- trolman Ernest Otto of the Evanston department was shot by a negro he discovered in hiding in the North- western station park at Davis street. Otto, suspecting the crouching figure was that of a drunken man, flashed his light. A gun flash was the responce and Otto lay helpless, shot through the hip. The assailant, a negro, escaped. Early Monday morning a negro brandishing a revolver, appeared in the Kenilworth garage, and com- manded the car washer, who was on duty alone, to drive him to Chicago. Enroute, the car washer was none too gently advised that his companion had "just killed two guys in Evans- ton." At the south limits of FEvans- ton the car washer was ordered to leave the car and the negro drove into the city. The abandoned machine was located in the Chicago black belt on Wed- nesday. Chief of Detectives Hughes assigned a large squad of men to scour the Chicago black belt for the murderer. Simultaneously, the Evanston police were making a scrutinizing search in the negro section of the neighboring suburb. Nuncio Masculino, the murdered confectioner, was a brother of Sam and Gus Masculino who formerly operated a restaurant in Wilmette. Patrolman Otto is in a precarious condition at the Evanston hospital. Find Unusual Increase in School Enrollments One hundred and fifty more pupils are attending the Winnetka public schools than were enrolled last year, according to figures given out by Superintendent C. W. Washburne. The enrollment last year was 1,350, this year it is 1,500, the largest in the history of the Winnetka school dis- trict. In spite of the increased attendance, all the schools have been functioning smoothly during the week. The classes have had more a satisfactory start than has been the case in years, it was stated. The teachers' institute held during the week just prior to the opening of school, familiarized all the new teachers with Winnetka sys- tem, and gave the teachers of pre- vious years an opportunity to become acquainted and to cooperate with the newcomers before the pupils returned to their classes. All the customary activities of the schools are being arranged and plans and schedules are being made. Harry Clarke, athletic director, at the Skokie school, is preparing an intra- mural football schedule and will make a call for the girls' hockey teams next week. Tryouts will be held Tuesday and Thursday of next week for yell leaders at Skokie. Three boys and three girls will be selected, after the try- outs, to act as cheer leaders for the year.

Thieves Cite Garage as Night Man Goes to Fire While the night service man at the Wersted garage was giving sideline ad- vce to our intrepid firemen engaged in extinguishing a blaze in the basemen: under the Community Pharmacy, Tues- day night, thieves entered the garage offices and lifted $26 from the cash register. The caretaker returned just in time to witness the hurried flight of one of the miscreants. Suspicion is cast upon persons "close to home," as the police would say, since the manipulation of the cash register required the skill of someone who was "familiar with the mechanism." The fire in the basement of the Com- munity Pharmacy building started in a barrel of waste paper and it was though probable the thieves schemed the fire to clear the path for their operation in Wersted offices. The portion of the basement in which the fire occured is not connected with the Community Pharmacy. Gas Company Keeps Office Open Until 9 P. M. Daily The Winnetka store and offices of the North Shore Gas company, at 744 Elm street, will remain open every evening until 9 o'clock, it was an- nounced at the general offices of the utility concern this week.
