The Chiefs Suspension.
Monday morning, December Is, Vim
cent McKinnon, for 80 years chief Of
police of Superior, was suspended
from duty, pending hearing on formal
charges against him, preferred by
Mayor Baxter and city clerk Beckley.
The police and fire commission set
Monday evening, Dec. %, at 1880 p. m.
as the time for hearing the evidence in
support Of the charges as well as chief
McKinnon 8 defense.
Both mayor Baxter and chief Nc
Kinnon were present at the Monday
morning session Of the commission. Dr..
Mason, chairman of.the commission,
presided Charges were read after
which commissioner Rudolph Hanson,
supported by commissioner j. A. Mer-
rill, moved that chief McKinnon be
suspended. Commissioners Mason, Han
son, Merrill and Pear Benson voted aye
while commissioner w. P. Walsh voted
no.
The petition for chief McKinnon s
dismissal and the charges in detail
against him are as follows, viz:
Some Facts Recited.
"That the city Of Superior is a mu-
nicipal corporation of the state Of
Wisconsin, and city Of the second
class; that it is now and has been for
several years last past, operating un-
der the commission form of govern
ment, and that the petitioner Fred A..
Baxter is now and has been since on
Or about the 18th day of April, 1918,
mayor of said city and designated by
the council of said city as head of the
police department of said city, charged
with the duty of enforcing the laws of
the state of Wisconsin and the ordi-
nances Of said city of Superior, and
with seeing that the officers Of said
city of Superior, including the chief
of police department, discharge their

the chief Of police Of said city in the
discharge Of his duties as such officer.
"That said Vincent McKinnon is

In the effort of Mayor Baxter to put
the skids under Vincent McKinnon,
chief Of police of the city Of Supe-
rior, the taking of testimony in sup
port of formal charges previously
filed began last Monday evening in the
council chamber.
Chief McKfnnon was represented by
attorneys w. P. Crawford and E. F.
McCausland. G. J. Hartley represented
the compliments.
Miss Emma Tyler, policewoman in
Superior, gave verbal testimony in sup
port of charges outlined in another col
umn. In brief, she testified that chief
McKinnon had ignored several serious
complaints that she had made about
men and places. She also said detec-
tive Mcdonald and patrolman Haw-
kins had not spoken to her for four
or five years.
Miss Tyler testified that statements
she made in public addresses as to
raids being Clipped off" were based
ON information from detective Chandler
and not personal knowledge.
Keenan, Personally Appears.
G. E. Keenan,, special agent for the
U. s. department. Of justice, testified
to an experience he had in chief Nc
Kinnon's private office, where, in an
ger, the chief called him vile and indie
cent names and slapped him in the face.
McKinnon had been Informed that
Keenan, had stated that he had seen
the chief drinking in Paul Gappa's
place. While trying to explain what
he said, the witness declared that Nc
Kinnon had assaulted him, physically
and verbally.
Deputy U. s. marshal Pugh verified
Keenan, g testimony and said that he
had good reason to believe that chief
McKinnon was not drinking man.
Arthur Hall, special agent for the
N. P. R., testified that w. L. Miller
was q Waterman for that company
when chief McKinnon represented that
he was on the force, and passed q
voucher in favor of the sergeant in the
sum Of $50. That alleged irregularity
was made the basis of one Of the counts
against the defendant chief.
Capt. Osborn Testifies.
Capt. Osborn told how he reported
George O'Brien and Ole Peterson for
drunkenness while on duty and in.
formed the chief that he, Osborn, had
suspended both men. He then said
that chief McKinnon did not sustain
the suspension and remarked:
"Why don't you ignore the mayor
9ike other officers dot"
Capt. Osborn replied to his chief that
he considered it proper to consult with
mayor Baxter, his superior officer.
The investigation then adjourned un.
til Friday, Dec. 26.
The first session was largely attend
ed and the proceedings were heard
with great interest by the citizens

James Chester Bell seems to have
been more or less groggy after the wife
of his manly boom landed on the solar
plexus of his marital affections with
her stiffly jabbing complaint. He evil
IDENTIFY spared for time and, in an an
swer filed Noy. 25, 1919, he denies the
charge Of nonzsupport, asks dismis-
sal Of the action, together with a re-
covery of court costs and disburse-
ments.
Later on, however, James Chester
Bell, through his squire, John A. Cad-
gan, appears with an amended answer
and counter claim. He charges that,
since January l, 1915, Madam Bell has
treated him in a cruel and inhuman
manner. He alleges that she repeatedly
threatened to shoot him as we'll as
called him vile names and epithets.
Society folk now understand why Col.
Bell Jugs a big six-shooter when gam
bling games are in progress in his
bingo and bevo emporium. He goes
"heeled' as protection against Mad
am Bell. But all that is another story.
Col. Bell further alleges that, on Nov.
Is, 1919, Madam Bell ordered him out
of the family home and told him never
to return. He further alleges that,
during the past five or six years, his
dear, darling wife repeatedly has told
him that she was tired of him, did not
love him any more and that she wished
he would leave her.
Do not laugh if your lip is cracked,
but James Chester Bell next alleges
that said actions on the part Of Ella
Howard Bell have caused him great
mental anguish.
The big mashup came Nov. IS, as
stated, month before the conjunction
Of the planets, therefore the destruc-
tion Of the Bellian home cannot be
charged to that astronomical event. Col
Bell left his happy home and, ever
since, Madam Bell has refused him en-
trance thereto. Right after his exodus
from the Bellian Eden, Madam Ella
sent him all his clothing and personal
effects.
It must have been a goodly pile of
raiment and personal possessions that
followed Col. Bell from his erstwhile
happy home. There were silken shirts
and socks. There may have been caskets
Of huge and precious stones. Undoabt-
edly there was the red velvet wedding
vest, Hoyle's Book of Games, a peck
or two of ivory dice, all specked with
spots that win. There may have been
safety razors, soaps, cosmetics, per-
fumes and scented toilet waters for the
Bellian baths. The family Bible may
have been in the pile of stuff and, an
top, it is safe to say, laid Col. Bells
ivory-handled, silver plated Sunday six
shooter, the one that he wears only to
early church.
Colonel Bell winds up his sad nara
ton by asking the court to dismiss
Ella Howard Bells complaint; that he
recover costs and disbursements; and
that he be granted an absolute divorce,
together with such other relief as q
just and kindly court may determine.

big BILL ADAMS FINDSLEVEL
Former Promoter Of Booze Bungalow at Clifton Turns Up
at International Falls With Gang Of Shike-Breakers
From Chicago for Benefit of Baron Backus.

"Big Bill" Adams has turned strike
breaker for Baron Backus. He turned
up at International Falls from Chi
cago last Saturday with ten strike
breakers for the little railroad so
closely guarded by Burnquist for Baron
Backus.
"Big Bill' Adams at last seems to
have reached his proper level in life.
When he first struck Duluth few
years ago he was representing the Cur
is publications as a solicitor. Soon
after that, he was showing his big bay
window up and down the street and
over the county in the interests of a
'ooze bungalow that nc proposed to
erect on some land belonging to Odin
Halden, near Clifton, out French River
way.
That booze bungalow, by hook and
crook, was built and opened. It first
was called the Chippewa club, but that
proved so suggestive and susceptible to
puaning that the name was changed to
Iroquois club.
Later on, when the kindly old county
went dry, the Iroquos club also dried
up and was deserted, save for a few
poker games that "Rasty" Wright and
some of the boys held out there. The
place proved both too dry and too

The smart set among sinful folk in
dear old Bingoland will be somewhat
surprised, if not shocked, to learn that
the Bells have found marriage failure
and now are bitterly battling for abso-
lutte divorce.
Although the Bells have not under
taken to king and queen it over Supe-
rior's underworld, like Max Rosenberg,
John F. Colahan, Marie Velie and 9th
ers, they have held high rank and
have been fully recognized by the very
best of the very bad actors in dear,
damned, distracted Bingoland, speaking
in the language Of the poet Pope.
The Bell bingo and bevo parlors have
paid pretty penny since Superior en-
countered the Big Drouth. Litters and
filters of blind pigs have been born,
reared and slyly marketed in and from
the famous Bell Cosy Corner The
loaded crap tree has borne succulent
and profitable fruit. Riding the speedy
bob-tailed flush, suckers have gambled
up and down the green, thereby en-
many quick cleanup.
Today, when the Bells might be
seated in the Bingoland cleaning, low
ingly holding hands, safe from the
Baxterian sleuths, and softly talking
Of the redolent redlight days that now
are no more, this classy couple, over
lo-ds in the underworld, are pickering
over the streaked Fast and cismoring
for absolute divorce.
James Chester Bell and Ella Howard
Bell took out a license and were wed in
the city Of Duluth, county of st. Louis,
state of Minnesota, February %, 1907,
the year Of the Rooseveltian money
panic. Today, they are battling to have
those matrimonial bonds not only loos-
ened but slipped off.
Ella Howard Bell is the plain tiff in
the action and James Chester Bell is
the defendant. Being the plaintiff,
Ella Howard Bell started things and
James Chester Bell followed her lead.
Through her faithful squire, Henry
Wilson, Madam Bell sets up the facts,
filed Nov. %, 1919, that she was mar
ried to James Chester at time and place
previously stated; that both of them
| have been legal residents of Wisconsin
for the past two years; that in said
! time no other action for divorce has
been filed; that no children have been
born to the union.
Madam Bell then recites an allega.
tion to the effect that her lord and
master has failed, neglected and re.
fused to support her during the past
two years, although he has been amply
able to do so. She AYERS that she has
had to earn her own living during that
period. How or where, Madam sayeth
| not.
After pouring out her distressing tale
Of woe, Madam Bell then asks the court
for absolute divorce. She also asks fol-
the restoration Of her maiden name of
Ella E. Howard. She finally asks costs
and disbursements incident to the suit
as we'll as any other relief a gallant
and just judge may deem proper.

spooky for poker games. Eventually,
Fred G. Harris, the local furnaceman
and oil magnate, took over the place
through mortgage foreclosure. He oc-
cupied it last summer with his family.
"Big Bill" Adams also had few
adventures with the police while here.
Once they raided Florence Webb 8
place, hotel near the Sellwood build
ing, with the result that "Big Bill"
and Florence were the only occupants.
Lady Florence claimed that she and
"Big Bill" were mated according to
law, but future developments indicated
that her allegations were very moon
shiny.
Still later, "Big Bill" Adams
hooked up with J. Adam Bede, the
apostle of standpatism, in the promo
tion Of summer hotel at Moose Lake.
Neither one had any real money to put
into the deal and, before the public
could be shaken down, the big fire
burned up the soughing pines that were
to surround the hotel.
That was another bump for "Big
Bill" Adams.
Now "Big Bill" has hit the bumps
1T so low level that he must shepherd
a gang Of scabs for the benefit of
Baron Backus.
How are the mighty fallen!

TROUBLE FACES LOUIS ROTH
Sol Rublo Alleged to Have Retained Victor Power to Sue
Chisholm Banker and Clothier for Damages to Repu-
tation Because Of Recent Prosecution.

elbows business, Louiei" solly in
quired.
Cuisines is rotten" replied Roth.
81 can put you next to a man who
will show you how to make easy money
and lots of it," said Solly.
Louis Roth picked up his ears and
asked questions with the result that
Rubloff introduced the Chisholm cloth
Ter, banker and prominent citizen to
one Green.
The daily papers recently told at
length how Green put Roth next to
scheme whereby he could put money in
a press and duplicate it as much and as
often as desired. Roth pulled $4,000
out of the bank and saw Green put 1t
into the magic press. When Roth was
sent into back room for some water,
Green is credited with having grabbed
up the money and put paper in its
place. Roth was out $4,000.
Green went his way and, when Roth
opened up the magic press, he found
nothing but worthless paper instead OF
beautiful and valuable currency. he
not only was sorrowful, but he felt
badly stung.
Roth had Solly Rubloff arrested for
fraud and, in holly contested prose.
cution, Victor Power cleared Rublotf
in the district court. Roth was none
too popular on the range. Power was
powerful and Rubloff is credited with
having kept his skirts clear enough OF
the laws machinery to escape convlc-
ton.
Sol. Rubloff is in Chicago and Green
is supposed to be not far distant from
the Windy City.

his bonds and flee to Cuba, it is be.
lieved that city, state and federal au-
thOrities would be so satisfied that no
efforts would be made to bring him
back.
Col. u. James Burnside boasts of
having healthy roll Of long green and
Cuba might be fine field for him.
With ready money he could secure val
liable concessions, even a bull-fighting
ring.
Even King Colahan might find the
Cuban climate healthful in winter, now
that "Sandy" Cooper has returned
from Waupun and taken up barbering
on Third street. "Sandy" always has
believed that King Colahan helped
railroad him to Waupun and he swore
vengeance on the dictionary, city direc-
tory and couple of Bibles. No hos
tilities yet have broken out, but it is
said that King Colahan is lying very
low and keeping out of "Sandy s."
sight.
With a few of the bad bell-wethers
migrating to Cuba, it is probable That
a lot Of damaged ewes will follow.
Madam Marie Velie is in dry dock at
present, owing to q broken arm that
she received when wrestling with
blind-pig booze. N"Babe" Stephens
might see merit in Cuba. Even Bere-
nice probably could be induced to tag
along after 1.-THE bunch, especially if
"Pig-eye" OBrien went along. He
certainly would 60 if there were any
free drinks in the crowd. Bette West,
Josie Lavinsky and Madam Torrance
could add to the gaiety of nations in
Cuba.
Ho for Cuba! Cuba or bust! Speed

in Superior.
