COMMISSIONER GRAY
CARRIES THE HOD
His Experience at Strike Break
ing Wasn't of the Pleas
ATTEST.

County Commissioner Dave Gray
yesterday posed in the role OF
"strike breaker" and was dismal
failure.
He carried bod al day long. and
when evening came he was not only
sore and tired. but he had ruined a
suit Of clothes and done enough dam
age about his home to have paid for
the work of a dozen hod carriers.
If anyone should YELL more mort!"
within the hearing Of Mr.. Gray now they
would better be prepared to make
hasty getaway or prepare for trou-
BILE. The sound is not a pleasant one
to the county commissioner
Mr.. Gray had arranged to have one
of the upstairs rooms at his home
plastered, but when everything was
ready for the plasterer to begin work.
the helper who was to carry the plas-
ter. decided he would rather get drunk
than carry a bod, so he refused to
work.
The situation was explained to the
county commissioner by the plasterer.
and it was suggested that the job be
put Sover until Monday.
We'll put nothing over" said Mr..
Gray. Il am young man yet. and
will show these fellows that they can't
stop work at my house in any such
manner as this. Where is the bod?
I'll carry the plaster to you myself"
This is where the troubles of the
county commissioner commenced. He
did not consider it necessary to don
bod carriers uniform. but took off his
coat and started to work. With but
little idea of the weight of plaster.
Mr.. Gray filed the hod to the limit.
Don't try to carry so much. at
once" suggested Mrs. Gray, who is a
bride of but few months.
as he placed his shoulder under the
bod.
1t was not so easy. but Mr. Gray was
determined not to put it down. He
staggered into the house under the
weight of his load and commenced to
climb the stairs. Before he had taken
three steps towards the top the con-
tents of the hod was spilled on the
stairway and hall floor. He had pick
ed the hod up in the wrong manner.
While he was making an effort to
clean the mess UP the plasterer was
up stairs calling for more mort"
Even after this experience the coun-
ty commissioner was not entirely dis
couraged, and declared he would make
a day of it. However. instead of using
the bod, he carried the mixture up in
which he admitted last night was the
hardest work he had attempted in a
long time.
II was told tonight" said Commits
sioner Gray, that the hod carriers
We're going to send delegation to see

CHARGES LAWLESSNESS
IN MINING VILLAGE
Citizen Complains to Governor of Con-
dition of Affairs at Nashwauk.

Yesterday Gov. Van SAINT received a
communication from A. E. Pfremmer, a
merchant at NashWauk, small mining
town in Itasca county and about eigh-
teen miles from Hibbing, st. Louis
county, stating that the place was in
the hands of a lawless gang that con-
trolled it in every way.
The town was started but about one
year ago, and at the beginning of this
year, Pfremmer says, this gang, with
out any formality, elected a council
and put them in place. Pfremmer
charges that the man who was made
mayor is the principal saloon owner
and keeper in the place; that on the
Fourth of July last he not only per-
mitted but refereed a knockout prize
fight in person, and that this man also
controls all the SLOT machines in the
place.
Pfremmer says that he desires the
governor to take some steps in the mat
ter, that he dare not swear out COM
plant for fear of his life.
