she was vastly displeased with the person she was addressing, who was certainly not Flynn. Amid sounds of scuffie and the continuous outpouring Of billingsgate the light over the garage door flashed on suddenly and disclosed Flynn in the act of precipi- tating himself into the fray. Elsie had grasped, and was stoutly clinging to tall man who was trying to free him self of her muscular embrace. Her cries meanwhile included some of the raciest terms in the German dictionary and others-mouthfuls of frightfulness that didn't recognize.
 When I reached the open Flynn was dancing round the belligerentS like an excited boxer, occasionally springing in to land a blow; and all the while Elsie continued to address her captive and the world at large in her native tongue. Flynn was rather more .han, sixty, and Elsie was not much his ju- nior, while the invader was young and agile. The man had loosened one arm and drawn revolver with which he was pounding Elsie in the face. l knocked the gun from his hand with my Walkfng-stick and shouted to Elsie to let go of him. Her shouts had reused the guards and, hearing answering cries and the beat of hurrying feet on the walks, he redoubled his efforts to escape.

 Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing elce but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy con. ditjon, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer pain in the back, head ache and loss of ambition.
 Poor health makes you nervous, irrits- ble and may be Respondent; it makes any one so.t
 But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys. proved to be just the remedy needed to overeome such conditions.
 Many send for a sample bottle to ses what Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine, will do foI them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & O., Binghamton, N. r., you may receive sample size bottle by Parcel Post. You can purchase medium and large size bottles at all drug stores.-Adv.

CatarrhaI Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inf1amed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inf1amed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the duced and this tube restored to it's nor nal condition, hearing may be destroyed forever.

BURGLED MASSEY'S MEDICINE
Young Yeggman Confessed That Mob Entered Capt. Chester
Massey's Basement and Lifted Barrel Of High Grade
Booze-Other Mysterious Thefs Explained.

On the evening of December TO-,
burglars entered the home Of Capt.
Chester Massey at No. 1927 Hughitt
avenue, Superior, and stole SO gallons
of medicine that were stored there for
the benefit Of the sailors in the Massey
fleet during the season of 1920.
Those bold burglars not only showed
that chief McKinnon was asleep, when
they broke the laws Of the great state
of Wisconsin, but they caused Capt.
Massey great distress over the problem
of how his sailors are going to get
along without their medicine.
Capt. Massey, president of the Globe
Shipbuilding company, lives in the silk
stocking Seventh ward of Superior,
where the people are intelligent, moral
and obey the laws. The loss of so huge
a quantity of medicine as SO gallons
would cause the sports of Bingoland to
strongly suspect that it was plain
booze, of ancient distillation, were it
not for the fact that Madam Massey
has been an earnest worker for the dry
cause. Not even the roughnecks in
Bingoland would accuse Capt. Massey's
good lady Of harboring old Bill Booze
in her basement.
Despite the feelings of Superior folk,
of both low and high estate; five bold,
bad young burglars have been caught
and are behind the bars. One of them
has confessed that various members of
a daring gang are responsible for a
considerable number of burglaries in
Superior during the past few months,
and he also insists that the IS gallons
of alleged medicine for Capt. Massey's
sailors really were nothing but very
fine grade of whisky.

Mayor Baxter that the laws were being
broken by illegal sales Of booze at that
notorious place.
That complaining letter was handed
along to chief McKinnon and he or.
ganized one of the few raids that he
has pulled off since Mr.. Baxter became
mayor. Torrance, Timlin and at least
half dozen noisy friends were ar.
rested.
One Of the raiding party was Ole
Peterson, the tall policeman. There
was story in Bingoland to the effect
that Peterson personally worked up the
raid because Of grudge he had against
Torrance for kicking on Peterson Is
friendly attitude towards Madam Tor
rance.
The Rip-saw tells both stories as to
reasons for the raid and holds to the
belief that policeman Peterson merely
was picked by chief MeKinnon for one
Of the raiders and that twas not a
pinch dictated by private spite.

Ben Wood is human meal ticket for
the Torrances. When they get up
against it, they pull old Ben's pocket
book leg. The neighbors claim that the
Torrances not only owe Wood a goodly
sum of money, but that they have
spoiged blankets, rugs and even grub
from the kind-hearted old Canadian.
Although Ben Wood is alleged to
have gone to Canada before the time
arrived to light up the Christmas trees,
Genevieve did not forget to remember
her friend and benefactor ahead of
time.
Gentle Genevieve insisted on giving
Ben Wood a beautiful yellow canary
bird, in gilded cage.

canary bird" she said, and he got it.

List of Fair But Frai Denizens Of Carney Castle

If the city authorities wish to Grad
icate a pimple from the face of this
fair city, local sports declare that
Mother Carney's place at 100 West
First street offers an excellent field
for an operation.
Anna Carney, alias Mother Carney,
is no stranger to Duluth. She has a
long record of low moral endeavor.
During the Troyer regime, in fact, she
was found guilty of keeping chronic
redlight dump and given a term at
the Minnesota state prison.
If, dear reader, you will stroll down
to the police station and ask to look
at the records, you will find that Anna
Carney, booked as housekeeper, aged
81, was arrested Aug. Z, 1914, by Off
GERS Irvine, Schultz, Westerlund and
Isaackson, on charge of keeping a
house of illfame. Standing trial in
the district court, "Mother' Carney
was given an indeterminate term at
Saltwater.
Serving such time as the authorities
required, Anna Carney was released,
after which she came back to Duluth.
Some time after "Tippy" Willis gave
up her salon Of sin at 100 West First
street, where she had two floors and
about twenty rooms, Madam Carney
rented the place and is credited with
having maintained comfortable haven
for disciples of low moral endeavor up
to the present time.
Madam Carney, of course, has mum.
Der of regular male roomers. Their
identity is not materially the business
of the public and, probably, not of
much interest.
But the big trade at the Carney mai.
son de joie comes from rambling tran
sients who seek cover for the purpose
of acting shamefully. You can hire a
room at 100 West First street, take a
girl in there and have no serious ques.
tions asked. If the various pilgrims
and disciples of low moral endeavor
get their satisfy quickly, then the room
is given the once-over and another
couple is permitted to enter its shell,
tering walls. With a brisk business
one room can make a fat showing in
"a hours.
Madam Carney is credited with keep.
ing girls who are steady roomers at her
place. In addition, so sports allege,
there is list of call girls who gladly
and quickly respond when the tele-
phone bell tinkles.
For time there was a girl named
"Babe' who helped along the cause
of shameful behavior. Then came

TWO BOLD BINC0LAND BOYS
ARRESTED IN TAME DULUTH
Claude Torrance and Martin Tmn Charged With Theft Of
Automobile in Minneapolis Habeas Corpus Fails
and Twain Must Fight to Escape Saltwater.

Claude Torrance and Martin Timlin,
two prominent Bingoland boys, are put.
ting up a tussle to keep out Of Still
water.
Near the close of the Old Year, both
Torrance and Timlin were arrested by
the Duluth police on the charge of
stealing a Minneapolis automobile.
Jail never looks good to a Bingoland
sport, therefore Timlin, whose mother
has a big roll Of long green, employed
Hon. Ben. Goldberg, of DHluth, to start
habeas corpus proceedings for his re-
lease.
The case came up before Judge Cant,
in the St. Louis county district court
in Duluth. Mr.. Goldberg put up a
good fight for his client, but county
attorney Greene showed the court that
state warrants were out for both men
and that Minneapolis officers were on
their way to arrest the accused and to
take them to the scene Of the alleged
theft. On that showing, Judge Cant
refused to release imlin, therefore
both he and Torrance are fighting for
their liberty in strange state and a
strange city.
Timlin put up the story that he
knew nothing about the automobile.
He alleged that it belonged to Tor
rance and that when he went with
Torrance to Duluth, the police nabbed
them. It has not been shown from
whom Torrance claims to have bought
the car, when or for how much, but the
deal is supposed to have been made in
Superior.
Claude Torrance was a member of
Superior's underworld when he went
into the army and then fought in
France to make the world safe for de-
mocracy. He left his wife, Genevieve
Torrance, in Superior and she is charged
with having made the Torrance flat
unsafe for decency in the absence of
her lord and master.
Some time before this arrest for au-
tomobile stealing, Claude Torrance was
selling bingo for Timlin in the old
Timlin house. Some woman reported to
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1920-01-10

On the evening OF Dec. 10, Capt.
Massey and lady went out for the eve
ming. The housemaid also went out for
short time and thoughtlessly left the
back door open. That made it very
easy for the burglars to enter, raid and
bear away the booze in the basement.
The captured burglar who has con-
fessed tells quite an absorbing story.
Four Of the gang belong in Superior
and one came from out Of town. There
are uncaught members of this mob of
young yeggmen and names and details
are being withheld so as to facilitate
further captures by the authorities.
It now is known that this gang en-
tered the White residence at 2007 Bax-
ter avenue. They broke into and en-
tered the Superior Bottling works,
where they were disappointed in get
ting booze, but did take away 700
pounds of sugar. The same gang pre-
sumably entered the Loney residence
some months ago and stole jewelry and
family heirlooms to the value of about
$4,000. Judge French's house was en-
tered and $40 taken. c. J. Wildner
also lost jewelry and heirlooms of
heavy value. It is not impossible that
the chap who broke the plate glass
window in Swanson 8 jewelry store was
one of the mob. One of the gang also
is credited with having stolen Hud-
son automobile in Minneapolis.
The capture and conviction of the
entire bunch Of young criminals is ex-
pected to do much towards making
Superior more safe for property and
even life. Additional chapters in the
story undoubtedly will develop from
time to time.
