SWIFT PILGRIMS
HALTED BY COP
Wild Roysterers From Oliver Are
Impartia||y Checked By

Pilgrims to the oasis of Oliver,
who journey along the trails on

ical officer who has strict instruc-
tions to search any and all "sus-
picious lookingo automobiles. This
watchful officer is stationed on
Central avenue and -yiolators of
the dry ordinance in the lowland
city are likely to come to grief.
The other lion is. traffic officer
Con Kelly whose mission on the
blithe roadway from Oliver to SUI.
perior is to stop and even arrest
those gay blades who, under the
goading Influence Of Old John
Barleycorn and Gambrinus, feel
impelled to burn up the highway
and break the speed limit SEQ so !
Con Kelly, by the. way, is the
faithful officer who halted chief
McKercher, Capt. Fiskett and
Fred j. Voss when the mammoth
Mormon car was breaking the SUI
perior speed limit. ~ i: Yrs: 12!
That Con Kelly is an officer who
does his duty, without fear or
favor, is shown by the fact that,
during the very first few days Of
mayor Baxter's campaign against
road hogs and speed fends, on the
Oliver-Superior road, thirteen Of
tenders were. brought into munic-
ipal court, to say nothing Of many
who were firmly cautioned. 3.'E.

KILLS
WIFE: And SELF
Superior Bartender Ends His
Family. Troubles With a
Deadly Revolver.

Frank Kins2ey, a former bar
tender, shot and killed his wife in
Superior last Sunday morning. HI
then showed: tAegood taste to enc
his own miserable career by shoot
ing himself through tho head.
Kinsley did the deed on the
lawn Of his wife s: parents, Mr.
and Mrs. s. Gunderson, 59O6 Lam
born avenue. The couple were
married in Duluth something over
two years ago. Kinsley was IS
years Of age.
1t is stated that, possibly be.
cause of threats, Annie Gunder.
son married Kinsley> instead Of a
young man who really was dearer
to her. The couple had been sepa-
rated for some time and quarrelled
considerably at times when they
met. Kinsley expected to make
up with his wife and claimed to
be looking for house.,
Last Saturday night, Kinsley
wanted his wife to 60 to the car
nival with him. She refused and,
instead, went to a dance with q
woman friend.
The former bartender is cred
tied with having tried to drown
his troubles in drink. When his
wife turned him down last Satur-
day night, he is supposed to have
bought-a revolver with borrowed
money. He then laid in wait for
for his frosty spouse and snuffed
out her life by firing three. bullets
into her body. One bullet did the
job for himself.
After Superior 0enT dry in
1916, the Kinsleys went to Min
neapolis. They separated last
January, after returning to Supe-
rior.
Although Old John Barleycorn
has been banished from Superior,

Rail. BY. POLICE "
WAS TIPPED OFF:
Superior's Underworld People
Escape Big Dragnet Set
n. BY Authorities. ~" :. >.

About a week ago information
possessed by Mayor Baxter seemed
to warrant the issue Of about 40
warrants for the, arrest of gam
blers, blind-piggers and redlight
folk in Superior. H.. ,..'. =.
When officers called to serve
the warrants and make arrests,
in, about 80 cases the birds had
flown. Later, some Of them may
have slipped back for their belong
ings and dueked to points outside
the municipal jurisdiction.
The. warrants were issued in
the morning and served in the
afternoon. There was ample time
for a leak and there is ample rea-
son to believe that some member
of the police department not only
leaked but fairly poured out
clandestine warnings. =
A goodly number Of Hndesir-
ables and underworld folks were
gathered in and, during the past
week., still more were picked up
at odd times. sE@ "
Mayor Baxter believed, for a
time, that he had all the undesir-
ables out of the city. If that
really was the case many. of them
sneaked back and took up their
nefarious pursuits without the
chief executives knowledge.
In my opinion, says mayor
Baxter, s'there is no use in pull
ing these people into court and
filming them time after time, only
to have them plying their trades
half an hour after the, leave court.
There must be some way to get
rid Of them and / am going to find
that Way H.; ~ ..-sgs

that Max Rosenberg and Wildner

extent that some have claimed. 4.

jury at Eau Claire, Wis, found
Mrs. Ada Griffith guilty Of white
slavery. A sentence of two years
in the penitentiary at Jefferson
City City Mo-, and a fine Of ST 600
were imposed by Judge Evans.
Mrs. Griffith had been a we'll

ing Co.
Mrs. Griffith was convicted on
the testimony Of Katherine Shee-
han. She was charged with inter
state traffic in girls for immoral
purposes, a serious offense under
the Mann act, commonly desig-
mated white slavery.
There were seven counts against
Mrs. Griffith, but all fell to the
ground except one and it is stated
that she was not looking for prose-
cution on that one. The unfor-
tunate woman took her sentence
calmly. It is stated, in fact, that
she tried to get a trial many
months ago, wishing to have an
end to her court troubles one way
or another.
There is considerable sympathy
for Ada Griffith on the part of
those who know her best. 1t is
stated that she took her troubles
with Byerly very much to heart.
It is also stated that she was not
the only guilty one in the Byerly
household and that an unfortu.

the woman's departure from the
straight and narrow path.

after the end of things in. Duluth,

pursuits was kindly woman. in
many ways and possessed many
naturally good qualities. Had she

have come to- her home and her
sad story might have had a differ

DID NOT BITE
"Mob' Of Twin City Gamblers
Vainy. Tried to Trim
DuIuthian.

"A "mob" of Twin City gam
blers recently tried to trim p Grey
Christopher in a crooked poker
game, but he escaped their cruel
clutches with only asnominal loss,
if any at all.
The men involved in the deal
were "Doc" Hess, Pat Hood and
Col. Williams of Canada. "Doc"
Lauer was in the city at the time
but the Rip-saw's informant is
not sure that he had a finger in
the piece of pie that the bunch
tried to hand Percy.
The undertaking started with
the arrival of a woman whose
name has not been revealed. She
met the expected sucker and acted
like a long-lost sister. -
The noted restaurateur, with
customary gallantry, set about to
show sister a good time. He even
took her up to the rooms of the
Boston Lunch Employees club at
No. PIG w. Superior ST.; a most
exclusive and seclusive place. -'
There brother Christopher
showed sister the pictures of the
nude women on the walls and his
famous collection Of paintings,
statuary and studies from life. In
cidentally, sister saw a slick poker
table with cards and chips and
other tools employed in ,wooing
the tickle Goddess Of Chance.
"Oh, brotherp' explained the
enchanting dame, II have Q plan
for making a big bunch Of easy
money" =.
Tie clever sister then proposed
that they get an old hayseed that
she knew into q poker game and
then trim him. good. Not wish
ing to offend perfect lady, Chris
topher is represented as having
agreed to the plan. /
Then the "mob''' showed up,
under sisters guidance, together
with the .'fall guy as old Cap.
Collier would say. The tricksters
had heard about Percy's diamonds
and fat roll of long green: They
expected to trim him f6r: about
$1,000 in money and as many Of
the "stones" as possible. !. Either
Percy did not have the roll. and
stones or else he got next,and sde-
stepped the trimming. Anyway,
the mob" faded away, out time
and expenses, sadder but wiser
men, -.-' s.-.s, 49,. ....
