CHISHOLM, March 1.-(Speeiai to
the Rip-saw.)-The Austin gang Is very
much displeased because the World
War Veterans have organized in CHS
holm. This is the organization to which
Capt. George H. Mallon, one of Perish
ing,s Zone Hundred Heroes" belongs.
There are about 100 members already
in the local organization and, for some
reason, the bigibugs in the Austin ad-
ministration fear that the former SER
vice boys are not for the old gang.
Election day, of course, win prove or
disprove the existence Of danger. Per-
haps one thing that makes the Austin
gang fear the World War Veterans is
the fact that Jack Clark is at the head
Of the local organization. ....--
Not long since, D. G. Hackett, mem.
ber of the council and a pinch-hitter TO,
the Austin administration, promised q
returned soldier . village job. Some
days ago, when the former service man
asked about the promised position
pinch-hitter Hackett informed the vet
eran that the Job could not be given
him because he belonged to the World
War Veterans. This incident plainly
shows the attitude of the Austin sd
ministration towards the returned sol
diers.

Messrs. Leahy and Davis changed that
to one inch In thickness.
Professor Blanchard, formerly profess

University Of Michigan, says:
"The fact that from so many well

INTERNATIONAL FALLS, March j.
Especial to the Rip-saw. l--once upon
time there was a village on the Min.
nesota side of Rainy Lake, about IL
miles east of International Falls, which
was called Rainy Lake City. There the
Little American gold mine was located
the only mine in Minnesota that eve,
really produced gold bullion. Rainy
Lake City was booming place away
back in lS95-97, but the mine shut
down, the Seine River boom broke and
the new Eldorado of the Borderland,
went backwards it backed entirely
off the map.
Rainy Lake City was a pretty tough
place in its day. There the notorious
"Boston o'Brien was shot through
the neck. There, later on, Zone
armed" Sullivan, a desperate squaw
man, was shot and killed. There even
was an alleged bank robbery after the
boom died out and the town started
down hill. There, too, Fred J. Bowman
printed his noted Rainy Lake Journal,
a publication that, in its prime, would
have been credit to International
Falls, today, although printed over 100
miles from any railroad at the time.
Today, Rainy Lake City is nothing
but a name and a memory. Even the
Indians have deserted Sha.sha Point.
The stampmill, the shafthocse at the
mine, practically allethe baildings and
the big dock exist only in history.
The only monument to the boom days
is one to the bibuIous, lawless, sordid
side Of existence. This monument is a
little old log hut inswhich q Dirty Char
ley" Watkins runs D still and from
which place the notorious old moon
sinner distributes his liquid hell fire to
Indians, lumberjasks md the bold sports
