4TH DISTRICT
GETS GRADERS
Ely, Buyck to Receive Units
Purchased to Take Place
of Ancient Models.

The Fourth commissioner district will
receive two graders, presumably to be
delivered sometime this week or next,
according to action taken by the st.
Louis county board
Replacing machines of ancient model,
the new ones will represent total in
vestment of $14,730, less $3.50 allowed on
the trade-ins. Ely and Buyck will re-
ceive the graders.
The Road Machinery and Supplies
company, Duluth, was given the con-
tract for a snowplow grader on a bid
of 1928, less 500 allowance on a 1882
Adams. This machine will go to Ely
William H. ziegler company, Duluth
was awarded the contract for a cater
pillar grader to cost $6,51750, with $50
being allowed for a 1928 Mccormick
Deering. Buyck will receive this unit
These machines were part of a
$50, $3.50 highway equipment purchase
made by the county. Two graders
totaling $16,446 were bought for the
Sixth district. A half-ton panel truck
was purchased for the engineer on the
range at price of 1925, less SIPS allow
ance on an old county unit. Two
similar trucks were added to the en-
cheering departments equipment, one
at a cost of $749, less Sis on an old
one, and the other at SITS, less $2O5
for an old unit, 5000 federal tax, and
Sc service charge.

Ely Auto Death Rate Shows
Marked Decrease in 1899.
One Person Dies on Highways
as Compared With Seven
the Preceding Year.

The Ely territory marked up a near
perfect automobile fatality during 1899,
with only one death being recorded
to mar it. This is a marked decrease
over 1888 when seven persons met death
on the highways of this area.
Anton Lunka was killed east of the
city on No. l, Sept. 4, as he was struck
by passing car after alighting from
another. Lunka's death was the only
one during the year.
The decrease in deaths was due in
a great part to the patrol oof the Ely
Tower road by the county, Deputy
Sheriff Adolph Dolenshak believes. Two
patrolmen covered the road daily for
part of last summer, and Deputy Sheriff
Dolenshak has continued this work
himself during the fall and winter
During the holidays there was not
single auto accident within his district,
the local deputy stated, establishing a
record for safe driving that hasn't
existed for many years.
The City Of Ely has enjoyed an un-
broken reign of safety for seven years
Not since Mako Kotchevar, a ped
estrian, was killed, Oct. %, 1888, when
struck by car has there been an auto
fatality here.
Only three people have met death
by auto within the city limits in the
last two decades, it is believed.
Sixteen persons were killed by auto
in the rural area of ST. LOCUS county
to set an all-time low rate, Sheriff Sam
Owens has stated. In 1888, 80 were
killed, with 80 in 1887, and 20 in 1886.
For the county as a whole, IS were
killed, Is within the city of Duluth.

Zeke say, in low voice: MAYBE
that'll teach him not to muscle in on
my racket"
What could that mean? 1t sound
ed as if they were both gangsters!
"Beat it, Zeke, before he wakes!"
The boss's tones were so commanding
that Zeke departed quickly. But be-
fore he left, Zeke whispered to Jean:
"I'll be waiting three miles down the
highway in my car, and will follow
you to see you get home safe, miss"
Green soon revived. The boss fix
ed him up in another room. Jean
meantime was trying to get the near
est village on the telephone for a cab
to take her home. But when she was
put through to the right number, the
only taxicab in the place was already
out.

into Green's stomach. "Ouch!-you!"
"And the same to you with compli-
ments!" Zeke retorted.
Frank, the boss, caught Green by
the right arm from behind. "Your
booths ready. "I'll bring any drinks
you want to the table. You come,
too, miss" He seemed to have a sooth-
ing effect-at least for the moment
on Green. At the same time, he flash
ed warning, like a signal, to the
blond Zeke.
Jean felt very much disturbed about
the whole incident. This would be the
first and last time she ever went any,
where with Green! Shed only done
SO to get the goods on Gaby and her
mysterious disappearance over the
week-ends land she hated herself
for that! Shopping was horribly dis
tasteful. Green as an escort or ac-
complete was equally unpalatable. But
now that their mission was completed
she'd never see him again. Never set
foot in any of his establishments!
The food was astonishingly good,
considering the third-rate aspect of
the house. Hungrier than ever after
the sherry, she ate heartily. She MOTTO
ed that Green didn't drink anything.
That was fortunate! And he merely
toyed with the dishes set before him.
When Jean had finished eating, he
wanted to order a brandy for her.
She protested hastily: ooh no! ]
never touch the stuff! And I think
it's high time we were lighting out
for home sweet home"
He said harshly; "Nix on that.
You're going to stay here a little
while longer"
She thought it best to humor him,
but she was frightened at his manner.
Presently he told her: give couple
of phone calls to make. It won't take
me long. And don't let Zeke come
to the table. I don't want him barging
in on u.s."
jeans escort was no sooner gone
than Zeke came over to the booth.
"I'm sorry, but Mr.. Green just told
me he didn't want you to come here"
Jean told the young man nervously.
He seemed amused.
"I'm not afraid of him, young lady.
"Please go away, I don't want any
trouble, and if he comes back and
finds you here well-hell blame
mel"
"And what's a nice girl like you
coming here for, anyhow? You should

never set foot in this kind of joint!
I saw your picture in the papers.
You're Van Auken's daughter, aren't
you, miss ?" Zeke asked.
She was startled. "You know him ?"
ooh, I used to be a kinduv light
weight champ. Mr.. Van Auken liked
leather-pushin'. used to see him at
the ringside now and again. He was
a fine gentleman, and you oughta
think twice before coming to a dump
like this with fellow like him!"
"But," she stammered, wanting to
brave it out, seeking reinsurance, "Mr.
Green has always been perfectly-er
pleasant. I've often been to his Blue
OWL"
you'll regret that! Watch out!"
the other warned. "You can trust him
about as much as you'd trust a rat
tlesnake in August, when it strikes
in all directions without warning!"
At that moment, Green came swag-
gering back to the booth, with an
unnatural brilliance in his dark eyes.
$50 you're trying to pull a fast
one? Didn't l warn you enough 2"
he demanded of Zeke.
Zeke rose, stepping out of the
booth. "Here's the payroll" he said.
you're going to take this girl to her
home. I know her dad. You can make
the distance in a couple of hours,
maybe less. I'll be following you in
my machine. And if you try any fun
ny stuff about sneaking her anywhere
else. I'll phone her dad. Get that in
to your head!"
Green's fist shot out. Zeke side
stepped, returning with smart left
hook, and the fight was on!
Pandemonium reigned in the res
taurant. But no one interviewed in the
fight between the two men. Frank,
the boss, was somewhere else.
Jean, terrified, crouched in the
booth.
A thousandfold she realized her
folly in accepting Green's invitation,
even though it had achieved her pur-
pose. But the evening wasn't over.
She'd beg Frank, the boss, to get a
cab for her, and escape
However, if she tried to leave the
booth, so close were they, she would
run risk of injury from those fail
ing arms.
It soon became evident that the
trained Zeke would be the winner.
Just as the boss rushed into the res
taurant to part them. Green went
down and stayed there from left
uppercut.
AS he lay there, the boss hopping
