A certain party in this vicinity who owns an automobile, is very careless, “criminally careless” in the running of his machine. Several instances have been reported of his running so close, that the fenders of his jitney, has scraped the rigs which have been occupied by women and children, and it seems strictly against his religion to give an inch of the road no matter how scared the team is that he passes, and Thanksgiving evening he made the run from Arcadia to his residence, which is several miles, without a sign of a light on his car. If anyone desires to beat Barney Oldfield's record, the roads in this vicinity are a mighty poor place to undertake a stunt of this kind and especially at midnight without lights. The name of the party will be withheld this time, but should there be any more such antics cut up, the name will be published and also the amount of the fine.
