a former resident of Minneapolis, who has a brother-in-law still living
there. This Styles left for Texas some time ago. It is said he was a
desperately bad man. It is told that his sister received a letter from him
a short time before, saying that now he had lucrative employment, and if
she wanted money he would send her some. He also wrote in his letter that
he would shortly be up this way, and would call on her. This sister was
adopted by a minister residing at Cannon Falls. A letter recently received
from the father of Styles proves beyond doubt the identity of the man.
Styles’ father now lives at Grand Forks, D. T., and says that his son has
for some time lived in Texas. The father expresses no surprise at the
untimely end of his son, and says he was always a wild wayward boy with
whom he could do nothing.
