Tower (Minn.), December 2S.h- The
tough element of this place is in high
state of excitement over the inauguration
of a movement looking TO the suppression
of the innumerable dance houses in the
Vermiiion iron country
About two weeks ago Carrie Swenson. a
prepossessing young Swedish girl, hailing
from Chaska, Carver county, escaped from
one of the dens between here and Ely.
She took to the woods to elude party of
men sent out to capture her, and after
much hardship and privstion reached
Tower, more dead than alive
When she escaped from the hell-hole she
wes without shoes or stockings, and had on
a skirt and waist of thin material. She
was compelled to sleep under trees and
bushes and suffered terribly from the cold,
her fingers being frost-bitten and her feet
torn and bleeding from contact with the
frozen ground.
Arriving in Tover she sought out County
Attorney Edward Sherwood and detailed
TO him her experiences in the premises.
A HORRIBLE TALE.
Miss Swenson said she had been en-
trapped from her home under the promise
of obtaining work by woman claiming to
be the manager of an employment agency
in Tower.
She was sent from st. Paul to the dive in
compeny with half-dozen other women
in charge of two men, one of whom
she subsequently learned was Jack Ben
son, notorious offender. They were
taken direct to his infamous den and only
then told what was expected of them. The
protests of the women availed nothing.
Those who were inclined to be obdurate
were cutied and beaten into submission.
fol ffsyar of
and orgies such as Miss Swenson had never
even dreamed of Hundreds of woodsmen
visited the place during her stay there and
the majority conducted themselves more
like wild beasts than humans.
They compelled the helpless women. nm
der threats of personal violence. to submit
TO them, and one woman was so ill-treated
that she died the third day after arriving at
the place.
THE AUTHORITIES ACT AT LAST,
Being satisfied that tie girls story was
true, written orders were served upon The
various officers in the Vermihoa country
to the effect that they must at once see to
the closing of all dance. houses, dives and
places where illegal liquor selling aud
lewd practices were carried on.
A number of the places were at once
closed, but several remained running
openly defyipg the law.
The State and Federal authorities held
another conference and decided to act in
concert. Yesterday a swoop was made on
two places and Benson was bsgged. The
Ely houses were closed yesterday, and al
though it is possible that the dens will
open sgain, strong efforts will be made to
keep them closed.
Over $50 women in various parts of the
iron range are now heading foi Duluth
and the Twin Cities.
