Arrested for Speeding
Glenn Huddard war arrested Tuesday
evening by Officer Friebergfor exceed
ing tbe speed limit In an.nutomoblle and
he appeared yesterday morning before
Justlco of Peace Miltonberger and en
tered a pica of guilty- He was fined ?5
and costs, mnking$8,05in all.
Huddard and two other parties, it
seems, were racing in their cajs from
the tracks to the North River bridge.
They mado the trip twice in their cars
and Huddard was in tho lead when tl)o
officers appeared. Chief of Police Fra
zier announces that he will put a stop
to all such doings as it is contrary to a
city ordinance and is dangerous as well.
So many people, he anys, seem to think
that as soon jii they have crossed the
tracks they are out of the city and are,
at liberty to go as fast as jlhoy wish.
So many children play on the streets in
thnt partof the city that it is evon more
dangerous than in tho mnin part of
town and a few more aVe to have a
lesson in driving curs unless the speed
ing stops and they will not get oft with
a minimum fine. While it makos the
ones arrested very warm under the
collar it is for tho good of the city and
for their own aB well as it may avert
serious accidents.
