The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1918-09-07

least 3x4 #. in size. They may
be somewhat larger. Then there
are storm windows outside, max
ing a double quantity Of glass.
Those big panes were bought
when there was no lack OF mate
rial in the manufacture, therefore
the quality is superior. 1t is
double strength glass, as well.
Such panes as those will cost not
less than Sc each, today. The
price a few days ago for glass
36x4S in. in size was $685. per
pane.
About thirty windows have
been smashed in the old Lester
Park scho0l-smashed out entirely
or cracked and broken so as to be
of little value.
The taxpayers have been
robbed Of physical assets, in glass
alone, worth pretty close to 5000,
If that glass were in electric light
globes, commissioner Phillips
would roar loudly. Then there IS
damage to woodwork.
Of course mayor Magney's serv-
itors might lock the doors but that
would do little good. The boyish
vandals possess skeleton keys and
know how and where to use them.
Prominent Lester Park citizens
complain that the mounted police
man out there does not respond to
calls made for him. In fact COM
plant is made that officer Setter
quist's own boys are among the
worst offenders, if not actual
ring-leaders. They are represent
ed as impudently telling citizens:
"say, you can't do anything to
me. Ny fathers policeman"
When approached in the mat
ter Of boyish vandalism, officer
Setterquist is represented as say
ing:
II don't care what my boys do.
I'd not give a cent fora boy who
does not show some life"
One young man states that, last
year, he and two others went into
the school house through win
dow to play the photograph, when
the music-loving trio got arrested.
On other occasions, when the Set
terquist boys have been in still
worse scrapes, it is alleged, their
doting father has paid no heed.
Officer Setterquist is credited
with initiating the impudent in
efficient, partial methods Of his
superior, LAUNDERING Bob" Of,
fcer Setterquist is a mounted
policeman and, for some reason,
he does not seem to be generally
popular. He is something of
oman. of mystery for, on a sal
airy that has advanced slowly and
lightly from about $85 month,
he has piled up many possessions:
In addition to being "man OF
mystery, perhaps he has become
a source of jealousy to some Of
the Lakesiders and Lester Park
ers.
About four years ago, officer
Setterquist and his family of at
least seven, were living in a tent
in a ravine. Today, they reside
in a comfortable house at Tioga
and Fifty-frst avenue East, with
a piano, bass drum, cornet and
violin.
Officer Setterquist has a farm
on the Fischer road, improved by
a large barn and commodious
house. He further is credited
with owning a Wisconsin farm.
He has blooded stock on his st.
Louis county farm. He keeps a
team or teams for hire and a man
to handle the teams. Two horses
used in his work as a mounted
policeman are reputed to be worth
anywhere from $500 to $500, each.
Then, to cap all, officer Setter
quist, who once was a patrolman
at the West End, drives around in
a fine Studebaker automobile,
when not patrolling his beat on
horse back.
Then the lively Setterquist boys
possess bicycles.
It's a seven-day wonder out
there where all these worldly COM
forts came from. Setterquist pa
trolls his quiet way and says never
a word.
There are grave threats Of hal
ing the Lester Park vandals be-
fore the juvenile court if they do
not cease to tear down the old
school house. I .~
