The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1918-06-29

SUPERIOR, June 2S.-(Special
to the Rip-Saw) w).-Old John Bar
leycorn has acted so scandalous-
ly during his last week in Su-
perior that even many Of the sa-
loon keepers are utterly dis
gusted with the old roughneck.
The followers Of the registering
old Stacker are carrying on like
wild men over here. IT. is ex-
pected that the closing hours of
Old Johns stay in this lowland
city will be characterized by acts
and scenes fit to make angels
weep.
All this week, the bars have
been crowded ten deep. The bib
ulous boys push, crowd, scramble
and fight for a chance to throw
away good money for very bad
whiskey. They are bound to have
a farewell wallow with the old
inebriate, for it's a long walk to
Oliver and no one knows what
the morrow will bring forth in
that little oasis up the river.
Along with this wild, frenzied
scramble to lick up bad booze
and to, give Old John Barley
corn a fitting wake, there is a
horde of light-fingered gentry
preying on the purses and
pockets of the bibulous bunch.
Within the past week, the city
detectives have arrested and
jailed fully dozen of holdup
artists. One visitor from Michi-
gan, who came here to bury sup
plies, was relieved of nearly
1000 after being tapped over his
boozy bean.
From twenty to forty drunks
and thieves have been lined up
in police court every morning re.
Gently. If the jail quarters were
not so crowded and the police
force not so short handed, the
number would be much greater
Mayor Baxter is credited over
here with doing his very best tc
clean up the town, When under
world folk drift back and are
caught in their old haunts, they
are arrested and, usually, hele
in Jail without bail. The loose
element is finding out that Bax
ter is mayor. Some time ago,
delegation of real estate mel
an downers Of buildings suitable
for underworld pursuits, called
on the mayor, quite formally
and tried to induce him to let w
on his cleaning plans. It was |
discouraged, disappointed, rather
