officials Say Sailors Used Knives When
They Tried to Retreat from
Elevator

, SUPERIOR, Wis, Dec. 81 Special
A pitched battle was fought at the
Cargil elevator in this city between two
Wisconsin inspection officials and five
men from the steamer Rollins and the
elevator. Legal complications of seri-
Gus nature will probably result from the
encounter.
Inspectors Were on Defensive.
According to the story Of those who
saw the affair the inspectors were on the
defensive throughout the fight. The
men were sent to the elevator to weigh
some grain out on the steamer Rollins
and the objection Of the superintendent
Of the elevator and the officers Of the
boat to their presence on the premises
caused the fight.
The Wisconsin inspectors went ahead
and took number of samples in spite
of the threats of violence with which
they were forced TO contend. The oppo-
siton was very willing to have them re-
treat. but was not in favor OF having
the Wisconsin people carry away the
samples. The inspectors were told that
they must leave the grain.
Say Knives Were Used.
They sent back an uitimatum 10 the
effect that they would see the vesselmen
and Supt McManus lin h-ll first and
then left hurriedly for headquarters:
Their retreat was cut off, however, and
n party detached from the elevator
caught them. The Wisconsin inspectors
allcge that they were threatened with
knives by their captors. Whether this
is true or not it is fact that their
samples were taken from them and cut
and slashcd until they were of no value
File Formal Complaint.
The inspectors were delayed so that
they did not reach the offices Of the com
mission until late last night This morn
