The Mysterious Carlson No 2
Picked Blueberries
Martin further stated aeeordiD.
to report, that the Ernes+ CaTlsos
IN whose name the warrants w.
drawn is not the same FrToSt
Carlson living near Nortbome ana
that the work this second F,na..
Carlson had done and for the nav nav
ment of which the warrants Es;.
issued was done up in cor,r,;.
sioner's District No. 2. betwasn
international Falls and Ran;s,
other places in that district.
1t is claimed that the grand iurv
questioned Martin as to who M.
second Ernest Carlson is and
where he lives, and Martin y.
piled, so it is said, that he was /,
transient, a man out of emplOv.
ment and came here last fan Il
pick blueberries and that he had
left the country and his wheres-
bouts were unknown.
Unknown to Everyone in County
1t seems that the jurymen con
cluded that a man who had bee,
working on the roads in that h.
cality long enough to earn sl1s
would be known by at least some
of the other men who had worked
on those roads during that sane
period. 1t is said the jury cues
toned men who had done work on
those roads at about that time,
and also questioned Commissisner
Johnson of that district, who said
he knew all the men who had
worked on the roads in his dc
trict, but none of these men had
ever. seen or heard of a man by
the name of Ernest Carlson.
So, this Ernest Carlson No. 2,
like the ghost he must have been,
has come and gone and like al
other ghosts has left no trace b.
hind him, not even his signature
on warrants that were caShed b
his name. This seems very IN
kind even for a ghost. The least
! he could have done would be b
leave some evidence Of having per
formed the labor for which war
rants were issued to him, and
some semblance Of a receipt for
the $118 of the taxpayers money
he is SUPPOSED to have carried
carried away.
Chilgren, State Representative

1t would be well for the tar
payers not to fail to make note
that among those jurymen who,
it is reported, sat there and listen
ed to all this teStimoney and who
it is claimed, could find in it %
evidence warranting an indd-
ment, is the name E. ]. ChilgTnl
! the state representative from HOO
chiching county. They viii nO'les
that Mr.. Chilgren's enthusiasm
for the interests of the Taxpayers
j in this district in this Ernest Car
son case parallels his respect lOl
their mandates in other matten
as shown by his arroganty toN
