The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1899-04-22


| Two large imposing school buildings
attract the attention OF the stranger
N town as does the hospital building
nnder the supervision of DR.. Stuart
! Bates. The doctor was formerly from
Ironwood. Michigan, where he had a
large practice among miners. His
present hospital has Accommodations
for forty patients.
+ The commercial traveller who drops
in here thinking to spend the day
among the stores, or until the next
train DEPARTS finding that his bust
| ness is finished in an hour, concludes
! that he can take in Eveleth also in
the time allotted for this place and
forthwith orders a rig from Joel Torn
quist who has two livery stables here.
A rival to the livery stables here is
c. S. Reeves who handles the Viking
and Vim two of the popular bikes be-
sides keeping a bicycle livery.
"A. NJ. Inrnquist proposes to go
where business is, hence viii le he re-
tains his present photograph gallery
he spends a portion of his time each
day at his gallery in Eveleth.
The groceries for the people are
largely supplied by Fred Johnson, a
business man here for the past six
years who came from Cloquet.
A broad 9uage useful man here is
Andrew Hawllinson, who rears a large
family of bright eyed children to fill
seats in the public school while he
gives his special attention to supply
ing the people with hardware, lime,
brick, sash, doors, wood and coal. He
is well convinced that, the present dull
ness of Virginia will soon pass from
tile fact that he has laid, in a stock
$3.50 rolls of wall paper for the pur-
| pose of fixing up the town this
spring.
Charles E. Nelson, municipal Judge,
does what he can towards preserving
order in town. He keeps an eye on
! the saloons and knows how the land
lays generally. 1t was our fortune
| to listen to a trial in his court. This
was a case between Pete and Tom,
and illustrates what goes on in a
mining town., h '.s@ -..
4 Pete was There, with his face pretty
badly patched up with sears and was
Intending to make Tom pay damages.
The courtroom was filled with wit
nesses and geeral spectators like our
self.
! Pete made his statement accusing
Tom OF having battered his face until
he could, hardly see. Tom then gave
| his account fo the fracas, which was:
that Pete had followed him into the
saloon, had tried to pick a quarrel
with him, had stuck cigar in his
face, and when he knocked it out OF
Pete's hand Pete demanded that he
! pick it up, that when he refused Pete
drew Il knife OH him, but put it back
in his pocket before damage was done.
That to avoid further trouble with
Pete he went out doors and within
a minute Pete followed, and proposed
to use his knife again. =
! "What did you do to Pete then?''
asked the lawyer.
! II just take hole his coat'' said Tom,
land give one jerk
didn't you do anything else?''
''No dat was ALL 49,,
''What next did you do?'
''I Just came in de house and go up
stairs nit de bed.''
! The bar keeper was then called in
to testify. He affirmed that he heard
Pete bullying Tom, that he saw Pete
jab Il cigar in Toms face, that he saw
Pete get out his knife, and that Tom
soon after went out doors, followed
in short time by Pete.
."What next happened?" asked the
lawyer.
"Tom came in soon after and went
up stairs to bed.'
"What neNt:?" enquired the lawyer.
| 'Pete came in, in a little while With
his face all covered with blood and
wanted to know where Tom was.''
'What did you tell him?'' said the
attorney.
II told him he had better go and
wash his face, and get himself to-
gether.''
The next heard of the case was
when Pete sued Tom for assault.
Judge Nelson heard the testimony
patiently through and promptly dis
missed the case.
What battered up Pete's face in such
a manner will perhaps never be
known. Whether Pete was kicked
| while he was, out by mule, whether
he was dragged through a barbed
| wire fence or had his face cut open
in half dozen places by that one
| Jerk of 5Nom'Sss WAS the uuastion
