the proceedings.
In 1908, Mohani was charged with

Run-runners Terrorized In
habitants; Civilian" Army
Formed to Protect
Their Homes.

KINGSDALE, MINI. - War to the
death, war with rifles, revolvers, fire
and dynamite is being waged in this
little community between an organized
gang of 25 bootleggers and small
group OF Kingsdale citizens.
Heading the citizens is Charles r.
Grace, community leader and staunch
upholder of law and order.
Acts of terrorlzation which the des-
peradoes have committed include:
The burning of Grace's lumber camps
with a loss of $1,000.
The dynamiting of his $4,000 hotel
and business block, endangering the
lives of himself and his family
The shooting up of the town with
revolvers and rifles, and a three-hou
reign of terror.
The driving of four preachers from.

and his family.

"They are not going to make me

town. They may get me, but Kings
dale will be here when I'm gone"
In Armed Camps.
Grace has appealed TO the governor
and to federal agents for aid. Mean.
time the two factions face each other
from armed camps.
The bootleggers have established
| themselves in an almost inaccessible
stronghold in the dense woods along
the Wisconsin boundary
near the junction Of the st. Croix ana
Tamarack rivers. Sentries with long
range rifles, stationed at far outposts
guard all approaches. The gangsters
are familiar with all the thicket passes
"a knowledge not possessed by dry law
enforcers. 1t is believed that nothing
! but strategic attack and a pitched bat
tie can dislodge them
Here in Kingsdale is the other camp
that of Grace and his supporters. They
also have armed themselves with re
volvers and long-range rifles. Befor'
the entrance to Grace's hotel and bust
ness block continually stands an armed
sentry. In his general store, his son
| Chester. and his three daughters, Eliza
beth. Florence and Ida, go about thei
business, but guns are within cas-.
reach-and they all know how TO us

The war started when Grace wa
