Not only is the blood Of the late
William Chisholm on the sinful head Of
Madam Edith LeMay-Porter-Bartolli-
Donahue but, had public officials done
their duty, that heartless vampire now
would be headed towards Saltwater.
Further than all this, the Rip-saw
'as information which fairly proves
that William Chisholm never stole
'ollar's worth Of goods from the Amer.
lean Express company.
The actual stealing was done by an
,mploye who worked in the express
office, therefore was in a position to
earn the contents of packages. After
tealing silks, furs and jewelry, he sold
his plunder to Chisholm who, in turn,
aid the stolen stuff at the feet and
IN the back of his inamorata as evil
'ences Of his infatuation and regard.
There is evidence that the woman
not only knew the goods were stolen,
but that she induced the poor fellow
buy the products of theft from the
thief and then bestow them on her.
The actual robber Of the American
Express company is believed to have
been infatuated with Madam Edith.
There are evidences that he bestowed
IN her the money that he received
from Chisholm for the stolen goods.
The greedy vampire caught weak
men both going and coming and with
out care or thought as to what became
of them. William Chisholm reposes in
a suicide g grave. The other man is a
fugitive from justice. Edith LeMay-
Porter. Barto1h- Donahue is free, roam
ing the world in search of other men
to pluck and more homes to break up.
1t is not at all improbable that Mad
am Edith "peached" on Chisholm, but
information also came to the authori-
ties in still another way. Fraternal
associates knew that. the woman was
bounding the life out of the kind
hearted conductor. They also had an
intimation that he was buying stolen
express matter and giving it to her.
Further than that, she claimed that he
was knocking down fares and that she
proposed to tell all about it to Supt.
Kreiter, of the D. M. & NJ, even if
acceptance of free rides on her own
part did constitute an offense.
Thinking, therefore, to choke off the
woman's grip on Chisholm, stop the
stealing, bring justice to the real thief
and, also, correct any Irregularities in
the conductors train service. the coun-
ty attorneys office was notified in
discreet way of what was going on.
No official action was taken and it
hardly could have been expected, for

in New York and building up foun-

A married man from Proctor made
his way up into the Grand hotel at No.
206 West Superior street, in search Of
q man whom he very much wished to
see and who was supposed to be in
chose cultured precincts.
Just as the visitor arrived at his
destination, four females, each and
every one garbed in a gaudy kimona
and a smile of welcome. came out into
the hall and surrounded him so as to
cut off his line retreat.
One Of the fairies was very short
and very broad. She looked like lin
cal descendant of Jezebel, the dame
who painted her face and made goo

had brownish or reddish hair. Two
others were rather tall and slender.

very short and very broad female.
"Nothing,' replied the man from
Proctor.

feminity.

"I don't want to buy you," the
wise bow from Proctor Informed her.
"Wait a minute" said the sawed
off siren.
Entering an open door, she consulted
a dame who was clearing up a supper
wreck. Coming back into the hall, the
daughter of Jezebel said:
"I'n take you in for $780,

and permitted the escape Of many a
guilty man.
Madam Edith LeMay- Porter -Bartolli-
Donahue was peeved and she proposed
to hurt Chisholm and his family. In
the first place, she expected him to
marry her after his wife divorced him,
but he partly recovered from his in
fatuation and side-stepped the union.
The vampire did not care for him and
never intended to marry him herself,
unless for the purpose of more effec-
lively plucking him. When he remar.
ried his wife and made up with his
family, instead of coaxing the vampire
to wed with him, she was very much
put out.
Then there was the incident Of the
fur coat. It had been ordered at a
cost of about 5000, but Mrs. Chisholm
got wind Of it and secured possession
of it. Madam Edith tried her worst
to find ways and means for getting
another fur coat out of Chisholm, but
slipped up in her efforts.
The sinful siren seriously contem.
plated sueing the conductor for breach
of promise, but that came to nothing.
Her final and most dastardly act was
to do her best to involve him in the
express robberies.
The vampire was about destitute
when she left the Mesaba range and
Donahue. She got divorce from Don
ahue June 90, 1917, on a charge of de-
sertion since Aug. %, 1917. He fur.
nished all the evidence for her to prove
his desertion, paid all the costs of the
divorce and even sent her furniture
down to Duluth. Chisholm put up
$500 to make the first payment on the
Central hotel and kept up the monthly
payments. When she sold out some
months ago she received $4,000 for the
business. Madam Edith g moral repu-
tation was rotten in Chisholm when
she and Donahue separated.
After selling out the Central hotel,
Madam Edith stopped for time at
the Lenox hotel, but her sporty actions
eventually caused her to get orders to
move. She next put up at the Mckay.
When the elimination of the whole
serdid affair with Chisholm came, the
authorities found her room filled with
silks and fine garments stolen from
the express company by its employe
and sold by him to Chisholm. There
were silk stockings, pajamas, ribbons,
laees, furs and the finest Of unmention-
ables that fair daughters of Eve and
sinful spawn of the devil love to wear.
She was allowed to lug away all, that
plunder, although It is intimated that
some Of her diamond rings were sur.
rendered. Where they went or who
got tPem, the Rip-saw has not been in

COLONEL HITCHCOCK
MAY BUCK HON. CARSS
Boy Editor of Chisholm Also
Accepts Idea Advanced
BY the Rip.saw.

Walter B. Brown, the youngster who
sssassinates English in. the Chisholm
Tribune Herald, seems to be seeing
things. Perhaps the direct actionists
Of the I. w. W., bolshevists, red rad.
icals and other wild animals of the un-
famed Mesaba range have thrown such
a scare into the toady of the Tories
that he is talking in his sleep. Be all
this as it may, the boy journalist Of
the hinterland gave birth to the fol-
lowing in late issue of his still-born
sheet, viz:
"a great deal of consideration must
be given by this congressional district
in getting good men in the primaries
for congress. Mr.. w. L. Carss of Proc.
tor has developed into what it was
thought he would amount to-the small
est potato the district has ever sent
to Washington. The range has some
mighty fine men, who, if they could
be induced to enter the race would be
a credit to the district if they reached
the goal. Principal among such men is
r. W.. Hitchcock, editor and publisher
of the Hibbing Tribune, good roads ad.
vocate and all-around genuine North
ern Minnesotan.
The foregoing hemorrhage bears out
the caution to watch r. W. Hitchcock
as a strong possibility for congress
sional candidate in opposition to Will
lam L. !Carss, in the previous issue of
the .Rip-saw. The great family journal
seems to have seen that willin Barkus
before all others.

EMPLOYMENT SHARPS
DECEIVE WoRK|NGMEN
Man Hired For Profitable Job
Is Set at Other Work and
Paid Lesser Wage.

Complaint is made that the local state
employment office is shipping more men
to Wisconsin points than to Minnesota
employers Of labor. There also is COM
plant that local employment agents,
in sore cases. nave been guilty of vio-
lating the law that requires the fact Of
strike to be stamped on an employ
ment ticket when men are hired and
shipped to a destination and an en-
ployer under ban Of strike.
One John r. Johnston further in
forms the Rip-saw that one Joe Burke,
at that time with the U. s. employment
office, shipped him to Ashland for a
rafting job at 81 q day. He was put
off the boat at Michigan Island in.
stead of Oak Island. There was a
rafting job at the last named island
but not at the other. Johnston had
no means Of knowing that, he AYERS.
The walking boss, too, was clever
enough to take up the mans ticket
when he got off the boat.
Johnston worked at other employ.
ment for six days and then called for
his time when he found that there was
no rafting work for him to do. The
employing company then refused to pay
him mere than at the rate Of $65 per
month, when the original bargain was
81 a day.
Employers outside Of the jurisdiction
of the Minnesota courts can get away
with such stuff for Minnesota officials
cannot prosecute outside Of the state
jurisdiction.
It is said that strikes are on at
Flint, Mich, and Janesville, Wis. Seek
ers for jobs may save themselves an.
noyance by bearing that in mind when
they approach the canny employment
agents.

Pie-counter circles in Duluth unani-
mously feel that r. d. McKercher has
either the thickest skull or tho largest
gall-bag Of any two-legged being in
Minnesota.
There has not been much public gos-
sip as to filling Chauncey E. Troyer's
shoes. Great things were expected of
him in his work under sheriff Magic.
AS an investigator and gatherer Of un-
attackable evidence, he would have
made the heathen hump and hit the
trail for other fields. When it came
to getting the dope on blind-pigs, red
light dumps, runners of blockade booze,
gambling crooks and debased panderers,
Chauncey E. Troyer had a gift and q
zeal possessed by few men.
Imagine, dear old citizen, what Rob
ert d. McKercher would do If placed in
Troyer's honest and efficient shoes
1t would be like setting q timber wolf
at the work Of watching young lambs
in the hinterland. -...s..7.-..

Greene ever agreed on the icentious
McKercher for q deputy sheriff, there
would be riot and even rebellion In
kindly, complacent old st. Louis coun-
ty. -. .. ..-,..-, ..s,-,...-.-,.,,--
But, now that the subject has come
up, all will realize that there is a va
cancy on the sheriff's staff and that
some lucky and willin' Barkus .eventu.
ally will fill it. yrs.
The dope now is that sheriff Magic
has picked out Bob. Donaldson, at pres
ent head Of the Bertillon department
at police headquarters. Sheriff Magic
realizes that a deputy with knowl-
edge of national and international
crooks will be very helpful thing in
| his department. =. 49,.
! Up to the time these lines are writ
ten, county attorney Greene has not
cOncurred in Mr.. Donaldson 3 selection.
Time will tell, dear old citizen.
If Bob Donaldson moves out of the
antiquated old police station and goes
into the marble-lined courthouse, he will
leave a vacant chair for the commits
sioner Of public safety to fill.
The dope is that George Hollada, at
present deputy clerk of the municipal
court, will become the head Of the Ber.
tillon department in place of Donald
son.
The Funckian projection into city hall
affairs and onto the municipal benc|.
causes shivers of fear and anxiety owe,
the clerkships. If Hollada can shift
his gears, SO to speak, he will play safe
and get credit for knowing enough to
seek the cellar when he thinks ey
clone is coming.

L missioner for the grand old
Second district, he saw that his
noble work at drawing cartoons for
The Herald and looking after the coun-
ty printing welfare of that peculiar old
publication would leave him no time,
even if he had the strength and desire,
to look after road work.
Now Bert Kribsback originally had
been an aspirant for the plum that fell
into the Naughton hat. After he lost
out and before Naughton got in, Kribs-
back boosted early and late for the
Herald employe. Eventually, he pressed
his claims for reward with such effect
as to receive an appointment as super
intendent Of road work in the Second
district.
But Bert KriDsDack could not do all
the road work alone, even if he was an
expert in building concrete bridges
that would break their backs. He was
compelled to pick many workers to
come or 60 as he might dictate. Among
others, he hired Nick Schwartz.
There came a day when it was nee.
essary to settle a bill for shoeing
horses. Bert Kribsback acted in a
surly manner towards sturdy teamster
Schwartz, finally giving him "bawl-
ing out" and treating him in very
nawsty manner generally.
Such treatment so ranked in Nick 3
heart that he almost boiled over with
indignation and resentment. At last
his blood pressure mounted so high
that he determined to discipline his
boss by force of fists. Meeting the
noted builder of broken backed bridges,
Nick Schwartz mounted the Kribs-

Such In Effect Is Meaning of

The grand jury in the Superior Court
of Pasquotank county found true bills
against Martin B. Simpson and w. G.
Pool, charged with destroying real pro-
perty. The grand jury indictments
were turned over to County Prosecutor
Ernest L. Sawyer and warrants were
served last Saturday. The defendants
asked for a postponement of the case
until Saturday, March, 20, by which
time the Mack Sawyer machine pro-
badly will have found a way to quash
the new indictments. The court grant
ed their request for a postponement.
City Attorney Simpson and Mr.. Pool
were indicted on or about January %,
1919 on the same charge. They were
accused of throwing billiard balls thru
the windows of the Y. M. c. A. at a
late hour of the night, breaking out
window lights and frightening persons
in the building and in the neighborhood.
The original warrants were sworn out
by night patrolman Ben Roughton. But
the warrants were never served.
Roughton got orders from Trial Justice

Roughton was fired from the police
force. Roughton says that Mayor Saw
