then placed in Jail. His version Of

that Skate was innocent, therefore he
was released.
November 10, Milavetz swore out
complaint in Superior, charging that
Skate had feloniousiy stolen $3.50
from him. The taxicab man was ar.

the Superior authorities who, he com

when he was doddering around and
asleep at the switch, the biggest de-

glarized and silks and furs valued at
$1,000 taken. The doddering bod did
not know about the burglary until he
read it in the Ripsaw. Then he threw
fits and became greatly peeved. The
Telegram printed the interesting story
the day after the Rip-saw came out.
To let himself down easy and in an at.
tempt to save his face, the doddering
bod grunted around that Mayor Baxter
went over to Duluth to put the Rip
saw next. The facts are that Mayor
Baxter is not known to have been in
Duluth for many months.

BRACE OF CLEVER CROOKS
BILKED ARNOLD MILAVETZ
Young Business Man Of Superior Pays Nearly Two thousand
Dollars for Twenty Kegs Of Water-Otto Skate Also
Sues Victim for Damages From False Arrest

Arnold Milavetz, a young citizen of
Superior, recently was bilked out of
81 $50 by alleged runners of booze into
Bingoland.
Arnold had noted the great thirst
for strong, drink possessed by many of
chief McKinnon 3 pet policemen who
were laid off by Mayor Baxter. When
he got aatsp that they probably would
be put back on their beats, young Mia
vetz proposed to get ready for the in
creased demand for blockade booze.
Then the canny Son Of Israel had
noted how Bingoland folk had pros
pered by breaking the laws against
vending booze. He noted the diamonds
on the hands Of Col. Burnside. He
sought to follow the lawless example of
Max Rosenberg. Jim Colt, Al. Powers.
John F. Colahan, Van Gorder and many
Others grabbed off the easy money and
that made Arnold jealous. Col. "Chet -
Bell got away with clandestine sale Of
booze and Milavetz felt that he was
as clever as jolly old "Chet.o In
fact, most of the real citizens of Bingo-
land were making easy money out of
hooze and the things that go with it.
Arnold Milavetz felt that he better be
dead than miss be easy money and also
be out of fashion. ~ -.
\ 81 II give you commission Of 50
a gallon" said young Arnold to Col
johnson at 800 Tower avenue, elf you

''Ial try replied Johnson. "
In due course Col. johnson is alleged
to have come in contact with a couple
Of bold boys who said that they had
booze cached at a nearby point and
that they would deliver 100 gallons of
it for $3.50 a gallon. H..
It was so agreed and Milavetz was
told when and where he could exchange
his s., 1850 for the fire-water.
The transfer point was at an old
house near the Interstate bridge, on
the Superior side. The exchange was
to be made in cash, but Milavetz had
one small check in his roll, which the
booze-vendors refused to accept.
The money-grabbing Son of Israel
had gone to the shack in his own car
and the STRANGERS went to the scene in
ear hired from and driven by Otto
Skate, Duluth taxicab man. Mila-
vetz left his own machine near the
booze depot and had Skate take him
up town for the purpose Of turning
the check into cash. That was done,
it is believed, at Averbrook s store.
