A. F. Timme is the first automo-
bilist to be punished for fast driving,
in the municipal court. He was fined
$50 by Judge Dickinson Tuesday on
the charge of exceeding the speed
limit of eight miles an hour. Timme
ran into a woman at the corner OF
Hennepin avenue and Twelfth street
ten days ago. The woman was SER
iously injured and Timme's arrest
followed. The judge roundly scored
automobilists for the high speed at
which some have been running and

to any movement made to stop the
practice.
Expert craftsmen, after having
made every preparation to blow the

Twenty-fifth street and Twenty
seventh avenue south, early Monday
morning, We're frightened away by
the appearance Of Patrolman John
Bow. Bow noticed man standing
outside the store and started towards
him, when he gave a shrill whistle ana
started to run. AS the policeman
started after him, the crack of pane
of glass behind was heard and man
burst forth from the store and started
in the opposite direction. Bow turned
and the two had wild chase through
alleys, punctuated by the sharp crack
of the officers revolver. The burglar
finally escaped. An investigation
showed that the burglars had made
soap cup for the nitroglycerine, after
having stopped the cracks in the door
with soap. The explosive had been
introduced and a fuse attached. 1t is
probable that they were about to set
this off when the policeman made his
appearance.
Patrolman George A. Dahl, weigh
ing $50 pounds and standing six feet
five and a half inches in his stock
ings, broke another record Tuesday
afternoon. Patrolman Dahl is the big
gest policeman all the way round on
this side of the river and Tuesday he
brought in the smallest prisoner ever
entered on the books of the central
station. The prisoner was not charged
with any particular offense. He was
found by the officer at play in the rail
road yards at Fourth avenue and
Washington avenue. Dahl saw the
boy skylarking about among the en-
gines and arrested him. He tried to
get the prisoner to tell where he lived
and what his fathers name might be,
The boy, however, was unable to shed
any light on the subject except so far
as to say, in baby talk, that his name
was Ernest Miller Jailer Needham
tried to establish the young mans
identity and asked: "Well, Ernest,
what does mamma call papa?' The
boy thought hard for a minute and
then lisped: "My mamma calls my
papa JUS darlin.'" Needham could
not find such name in the directory
and finally was obliged to turn the
child over to the matron. Later in the
evening the baby was claimed by his
anxious parents.
