JN0.. DAVIS JUDGED
VIOLATES HIS PAROLE: WILL RE.
TURN TO SALTWATER.

While Intoxicated he Made a Vicious
Assault on a Fellow Passenger on
the America, Biting Him Severely.
Arrested at the Reservation.
Johnnie Davis love of drink evidently
is stronger than his love of freedom, for
he forfeited his right to the latter by
going on jamboree last Sunday and
creating a serious disturbance on the
Seamer America that evening. He now
lies in the county Jail awaiting the
arrival of prison official to take him
back to Saltwater to complete his seven
year sentence, of which has about three
years yet to serve. He was out on pa
role.
While aboard the America last Sun
day evening, going to the reservation to
work on the road, Davis, who was
drunk, made an unprovoked assault on a
fellow passenger and during the fight
that followed he bit the mans ear and
chewed one of his hands quite badly.
The victim OF the assault is a resident
OF Port Arthur. He was restrained
from returning to Grand Marais to make
complaint against Davis by the serious
nature Of his injuries, his physician
fearing blood-poisoning.
Upon information furnished by
officers of the boat County Attorney
McAlpine made complaint before Judge
Durfee, who issued warrant for Davis
apprehension.
When the America Returned to Du-
luth the prison officials were notified of
the affair by telephone and they replied
to instruct the sheriff to get Davis at
any cost.
Sheriff Carhart left on the Easton
Wednesday afternoon TO make the
arrest. At the reservation he
learned that his man had gone from
headquarters camp the previous evening.
He, therefore, went on to Grand Portage
and, with an Indian guide, returned
from there to the reservation, stopping at
all the cabins along the shore. When
DAVIS left headquarters he said he was
going to Grand Marais. Believing ti.is
to be only ruse Sheriff Carhart deter
mined to search the other camps and at
about o'clock Thursday morning he
located the fugitive in the Office at camp
2. He submitted to arrest without a
show of resistance and was brought back
to Grand Marais Thursday night. Ar
raigned yesterday morning, he waived
examination and was placed under
81 900 bonds for appearance at the next
term OF district court. Being unable to
furnish the bond he was committed to
Jail.
He will in all probability be taken
back to Saltwater to serve the remain
ing three years of his unexpired term, in
which case his trial upon the charge
for which he is pow in custody will be-
indefinitely postponed
