upon her and knocked her down and bit
her on the hand. The brother went to

shot the dog. The animals head was
sent 10 the laboratory Of the Health De-

Or. John Jackola, the Duluth physi-
clan who has been missing since June
21. was found in the woods short
distance east Of this city this afternoon.
The find was accidental. but clears up
a mystery which has confronted Du-
Iuth for months. Many searches had
been mnde before. but without sue
cess. Some friends were Of the opinion
that the doctor was still alive. but no
word had been received from him since
his disappearance. No message was
left and his affairs were in good shape.
DR.. Jackola was Finnish doctor who
had established a large practice here.
He was one Of the leading doctors Of
this CITY. but was known 10 be eccen-
tric. He had studied here and abroad.
During late years ne has been a friend
of woman suffrage, and this spring

He neglected his practice and ap-

tho evening of June n, and had not been
heard from since. Or. Jackola has no
relatives in this country. What disposi-

That he committed suicide is the pop
