capturing four whom they claimed
were violating the law. Two men who
were strangers. here and did not know
the peculiar ways OF the average War
wick constable were 1.-The first.to fall vic
Tins TO thu officers, and were corralled
and their wheels locked up In Biggs'
Blacksmith shop near by. After making
this scoop the officers returned to their
ambush and within a short time Frank
Smith and Marcus Jones OF River Point
came along on tandem. Mr.. Lewis
stepped. out and stopped the machine.
The riders were also taken into custody
and tnei- wheel locked up and then the
batch of arrests were taken to East Green

sworn out they were taken before Judge
Thomas j. Tilley. The two strangers
pleaded not guilty and were held for
trial Smith, who was steersman OF he
tandem, was then brought up and set
tledd to the tune OF Sl6.10, while Marcus
Jones was not called before the court
but left to care for the officers team.
AS the boys did not have sufficient
money with them to pay the fine they
were taken to the residence OF Smiths
brother. Dr.. X. NJ. Smith at River Point,
who paid the fine. There IS considra Bile
doubt as to whether or not the officers
had the right to arrest the wheelmen
where they did, as the road at this place
is very much narrowr than in any other
place and the driveway runs close to the
fence. Considerable discussion Is also
caused by the fining of one OF the riders
OF tn tandm and not the other and
officr Lewis may be called on to explain
his action in the matter, as Mr.. Jones
last evening consulted lawyer in regard
to the matter.
