The motorcvele cop was an unex pected visitor in the eastern part of Sarpy county altho he has been arous ing some considerable comment in the vicinity of Gretna and the west ern part of that county and when he suddenly burst on the unsuspect ing drivers of the gasoline wagons he had a wide range or persons on whom to pick as this highway has been free from interference with any speed regulations and where the only bar has been the ability to "step on the gas."
