The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-08-23

powerful state Of Minnesota, is griev-
ing over conditions. She writes let
ters, imploring her friends to help her
get back to Scanlon, to restore her to
her humble home and to help her gather
her dear children for a fond mother 3
protecting care.
Mr.. Naylor left small estate and
one Revell, a Carlton county farmer,
has been made administrator. The
deceased held contract on land on
which his home was burned and, re-
Gently, the administrator sold the two
cows for $110 to make payment on
the land. Some declare that the cows
were worth SIS each but the Rip-saw
has no definite information as to that.
Some think that the wiser plan would
have been to realized on the equity in
the land, if possible. It is assumed
that farmer Revell used his best judg.
ment.
Mrs. Jacobson, only an old, hard.
working woman, felt so keenly over
the state of affairs with the Naylor
family that she gave John Jenswold,
a Duluth lawyer, retainer Of $50 to
start proceedings to set aside Mrs.
Naylor IS commitment. She promised
the distinguished lawyer that she
would be responsible for all costs and
fees, including his own remuneration.
The good Mother in Israel, residing
in Scanlon, county Of Carlton, state OF
Minnesota, alleges that lawyer Jens'
void wrote couple Of letters, possibly
one to DR.. Spurbeck and one to the
Faribault authorities, and then in
formed her that he did not consider it
advisable to get Mrs. MAYORS release
now and, even if it were advisable, he
would not care to be the one to start
proceedings.
Now comes an affiant with the dis
tressing story of Mrs. Ella Eisenberg,
a. resident Of Cloquet when the Octo-
Der forest fire swept away her little
home and destroyed all her chattels
and personal possessions.
About five years ago, Mrs. Eisen-
berg's husband deserted her, leaving
her with three children. The brave
mother kept them together, fed them,
clothed them and housed them with
money earned by ardous work at
cleaning and washing for other people.
During those five long, hard, wear.
ing wears, Mrs. Eisenberg nearly paid
off an incumbrance Of several hundred
dollars on the little home.
Then came that cruel, crushing, de-
vastating October fire. The Elsen'
berg hearthstone and rooftree were re-
duced to ashes in one hour in that city
of the Baron Robbers Of the Pine.
Being both wise and industrious,
Mrs. Eisenberg carried some fire in
surance. After paying up her mort
gage, she had a few hundred dollars
left from her insurance money.
Little Eva's depot of mercy, out
there in the big armory, gave the i'm
poverished family some shoddy quilts,
a few old chairs and enough household
trinkets to bring the value up to
about SIS. The poor woman then was
refused further aid because she had
insurance money.
Mrs. Eisenberg was not able to work
as we'll as formerly, being weakened
by the calamity and great mental
strain. She came to Duluth and was
living some place on Mesaba avenue
about three months ago. Her children
came down with the measles. Her
little horde was sadly depleted, owing
to lack of income and II. c. L: in
this boastful city. She had about $loo
left and was considering the advisa-
bilitv of investing that in some dinky
little home bakery that was offered
her on Fourth street.
What was the final fate Of that low
ing mother, deserted wife and fire
victim, the Rip-Saw has not heard.
Some of the pampered, fat, Stalled
danes in Duluth's fashionable East
End, who ride in cars worth $7,OOo,
and who have a freaky dog for COM
panion, instead Of baby or some
child Of penury, should read, consider
and heed the distressing story OF poor
Mrs. Ella Eisenberg.
Now comes another distressing story
with corporation lawyer tracks in it,
like those Of bare-footed boy on
mothers newly mopped floor.
Mrs. Isabella Studeman was the
wife of q Cloquet man who worked
in Col. McNair's paper mill. While
on his way to collect his wages from
the kindly corporation that permitted
him to toll in its paper mill, Stude-
man was killed by ruthless engine
of the aristocratic Great Northern
railway.
One Fessenbeck, q disciple Of Black
stone and, presumably, a duly quail
fled and licensed lawyer, was given
Mrs. Studeman's case against the
Northwest Paper Co. It is alleged
that the lawyer kept putting off the
woman and even assured her that he
had taken required steps to get her
statutory relief under the compensa-
