ing, the bear was tearing away at
Scott's leg.
After the last shot, the bear
reared up on her hind feet pre-
paratory to hugging.- the object of
her wrath. Scott grabbed Madam
Bruin by the throat with one hand
and, with the other, he pulled out
his hunting knife and gave her
stab several inches in length in
the throat.
The bear then fell over back
wards and Mr.. Scott crawltd away
as rapidly as he could and started
for water. After going about 100
fest, he tainted. When he regained
consciousness, he was lying on the
ground, but the bear was not in
sight. He kept on after water and
then made his way back to, his
shack. His clothing was badly torn
and his leg was badly lacerated.
The encounter with the bear was
on Friday and 1t was Sunday before
the injured man reached the home
of his son Jack. The elder Scott
then was promptly brought into
Grand Marais for surgical atteH-
tion. It 10 believed that he will
not suffe any permanent injury
from the biting and clawing that
he received.

TWO BARRIERS Held
UNDER HEAVY BAIL
Meizlin and Lang Charged, with
Oriental and Partisan Acts
With Two Young Girls.

Friday of last week, Isadore
Meizlin and Harold Lang, proprietor
and journeyman barber, respec-
lively, In the Mckay shop, were
arrested and Jailed on charges of
unnatural sexual acts. As these
lines are written, neither man has
been arraigned and both are in the
county bastile, playing checkers
with their nose .stead of scraping
faces and clipping hair.
The alleged acts Of utter deprav-
ity were uncovered by Miss Minnie
Dietrich, city social service worker.
Both girls were from Ely, Minn..
they having come to the big city
to make their fortunes. One girl
is 16 years old and the other II.
One of them is alleged to be ex-
perienced and even sadly tainted
with her experiences along the
primrose path. The other came to
Duluth only few weeks ago,
hence is less contaminated and
battered by sinful stunts.
Meizlin's reputation for tndul-
gence in illicit amours is not good.
Lang aways has been considered q
clean, outstanding young fellow.
Both are held under, bail III the
sum of $500 and there is feel
ing that the accused are UP against
the real thing.

Mike Michelizzi- at last has fallen

with being tangled up with the
notorious Shales brothers, Pro-
Germans who infested Canada dur.
ing the war and then sneaked into
Duluth from Winnipeg after the
war.
, 1t took the jealous and depend
able Lieut.. e. H. Barber and city
detective r. G. Fiskett to trap Mike
Michelizzi. The lawless Latin and
his big car were picked up on the
Interstate bridge with about 80
gallons Of moonshine in five-gallon
jugs. John Dercola, another enemy
OF law, order and decency, was
caught with Michelizzi around the
bewitching hour of midnight.
Mike O'Donnell was secured for
"mouthpiece" by the bold rum
runners. He set up. the claim that
the arrest was illegal for the reason
that the ear, the booze and the
men were on the Superior side OF
the Interstate bridge. City prose-
'cutor Weinberg is inclined to ac-
cept the O'Donnellian contention.
The great county Of st. Louis,
however, has Jurisdiction entirely
across the bridge, SO 1t Is con-
tended.

Next there was so-calIed mass
meeting at the Boayd of Trade
rooms. Messrs. Bill Bradshaw, w
F. Paxton. w. B. Kennedy and W
e. Cochran were appointed as q
committee to requess the members
Of the school board to resign.
In those days, the scheaaing
Bentley believed in bringing public
pressure to bear on the school
board. Here in Duluth. he considers
it an imposition and not the proper
caper. But all that is another story
Then the Bentleyan rumor factory
got busy. One big cock and bull
story was that 80 teachers would
resign from the Paducah schools.
Not one resigned as a protest
against Bentley's voluntary but
hasty and illy-advised resignation.
The baseless rumor that 80
teachers would resign their posi-
tions in protest against Bentley &
peeyish resignation gained great
currency at another courthouse
meeting, held by a number Of Padu-
cab women. Rev. o. A. Marrs, an
M. e. minister, moved resolution
in support of Bentsty and it car
ried, as was expected and planned.
The Paducah Betterment League
was also dragged into action in
behalf of Bentley at the high school
auditorium.
Some of the gallant Kentuckians
who championed Bentley went so
far as to threaten to tar and
feather Miss Dow Husbands and
DR.. Della Caldwell, the two women
members of the board. There is
nothing Of record to show that
Bentley deprecated such radical ac-
tion or that he advised against it.
The final mutterings OF the Bent
ley champions were heard on Feb.
IA, at the rooms cf the Rotary
club, when J. H. Risely, superin-
tendent of the Owensboro', KY,
schools spoke and Gid:

he will run up well towards the

of New Ulm, Nicollet county, Lave
filed on the farmer-labor ticket.
Early this week, the Rip-saw was
informed that the Minneapolis fac
tion which has been backing Mr..
Johnson, called him in from OFF the
stump. Some say that It was due to
r. lack of listeners at his meetings,
while other ascribe l. to the :lys-
terious suit to enjoin the holding
of the election. The Rip-saw is
assured that the humble taxpayers
whose names backed that action
were not really the principals. Some
believe that the suit was started to
end Mr.. Johnson's campaigning tour
while others believe it was to avoid
a show of strength at the polls
with the republicans. DR.. Fritschie
also was called off the stump.
q. Charles A. Lindbergh has not
stopped his intensive campaign. He
has been making not less than three
speeches a day and some wonderful
meetings have been the result. In
places, the work in behalf Of Lind
bergh has attained the character
of crusade, rather than a CAM
paign. Just bit more momentum,
as these lines are written, and an
irresistible flood will sweep that
great commoner into the a place
on the ticket for the July election.
There is q general feeling that
Lindbergh for U. s. senator and
Magnus Johnson for governor is
the logical solution Of the pending
contest.
