Las Vegas Age - 4/10/1920
HARRY MC QUEEN'S WIFE SLAIN IN LOS ANGELES



    Mrs. Harry MC QUEEN, a former resident of this city, was shot and killed

by a half breed Indian, a former sweetheart, in Los Angeles, a few days ago,

according to the Los Angeles papers.

    Mrs. MC QUEEN's maiden name was Laura VASSAR.  She came to Las Vegas to

visit her mother about two years ago, and after a few days courtship,

although only 15 years of age, married Harry MC QUEEN, then proprietor of a

local saloon.

    The couple lived together in this city only eleven days, when the young

bride announced her intention of returning to her former home in Los

Angeles.

    The slayer of the girl, according to information, was an old suitor, and

had repeatedly asked the girl to marry him.  Following the slaying, Lewis,

as the slayer was known, shot himself, inflicting wounds from which he died

five days later.
