SHOT TO DEATH
SUNDAY NIGHT
KENNETH LAvIGNE SHOT AND
KILLED BY UNKNOWN
ASSASSINS.

Kenneth Lavigne, or "Stoney
Slim" as he was Familiarity known by
a large number of friends in this vi
cinity, was shot and instantly killed
Sunday evening at about $50 at the
farm home Of JOS. Wylie between
here and Winton.
The remains were brought to the
city and to the Laing Undertaking
parlors where DIR. Ayres and Coroner
Parker performed an autopsy. 1t
was found that Lavigne had been shot
in the eye with 80 calibre bullet,
death resulting instantly. A coro-
ner's jury was impaneled and an in
quest held al the Community Center
by Coroner Parker and County At
torney Stone. Several people whom
it was thought might shed some light
on the crime were examined. So far,
no tangible clews have been presented
which might lead to the arrest of the
murderer.
The inquest was conducted in pri,
vate but from the story as CLEANED
by the reporter it is learned that La
vigne who was employed as watch
man at the Wylie farm was called to
the door and when he showed him
self, two shots were fired from a
close range. One of the shots lodged
in the door casing while the other
struck him in the eye causing instant
death. With Lavigne at the time
was Miss Gene Rose who was also en-
ployed at the farm. Miss Rose and
the murdered man were playing cards
at the time when knock on the door
caused Lavigne to answer. AS the
house had been known as a sporting
house but was not in operation at
the time, it is presumed that party
OF men wished to gain entrance. La
vigne told the men that there was no
one there and that they could not
come in. A little later he was again
called to the door when the shooting
took place.
The authorities have investigated
every possible chance clew but so
far without success. Deputy County
Attorney Stone of Virginia was here
and conducted the inquest for the
county attorney and Deputy Sheriff
Hoel is here from Duluth investiga-
ting. Many stories. have been fly
ing about during the past week but

Y. M. c. A. CIRCUS.

The Two Harbors- Y. M. G. A. cir
Gus arrived in the city Wednesday
noon. as advertised and gave two per-
formances at the Auditorium to
packed houses. The MONDAY par
ade by the circus did not take pace
as advertised owing to the lateness
of the arrival and the inclemency of
the weather.
The afternoon performance was at
tended by about 700 school children
and many older people. An excel
lent performance was given showing
what can be done with training such
as well conducted gymnasium can
furnish. All of the performers are
local boys and their work was Of the
better class. John A. Barton acted
as ring master and his announce
ments were works of art. This tour
is the second one made by the rail
road employees in this capacity, the
former being made in 1916. They
have been unable to develop their
circus in the meantime on account of
the war, many of their performers
having been in the service.
Glen S. Locker, business manager
and leader Of the band, an ex-service
man, is claim agent for the railroad
at Two Harbors. Physical Director
Peterson has also been overseas in
army service. Director Peterson has
had charge of the training of the per-
formers and is known the country
over in the Railroad Y. M. C. A. for
his work along this special line.
The Duluth & Iron Range railroad
is paying the performers their regular
wages and furnishing the equipment
during the trip, thereby making pos
sible this trip, the cost of which would
be prohibitive if it were not for
the splendid cooperation of the road
in this matter.

anything tangible.
The funeral of the murdered man
took place yesterday afternoon from
the Laing Undertaking rooms. Many
friends and acquaintenances of
"Stoney Slim" attended the funeral.
Mrs. Edward Mathews, a sister Of
Lavigne was here from Duluth to at
tend the funeral. He was "a years
of age and has been a resident of this
vicinity for several years following
the business of lumberjack. Several
years ago while in the act of thawing
dynamite himself and partner were
severely injured by the premature
exposion of the caps they were work
ing with and Lavigne lost a part Of
his hand and one eye. He was an
man and the theory of an
enemy is secuted.
