EUGENE HUNT IS FINED IN POLICE
COURT FOR RECKLESS AUTO DRIVING

This buggy was the property of John
Webb and Gene Hunt drove into it
Friday night because, he says, he mad
to dodge the gravel left in the street
near the fire station.
For this little collision Gene had to
dig up sr00 damages.
This was not all. Gene also ap-
peared in court and Justice Huffman
gave Rim a fine of $40 besides. The
lightness of the penalty was due to
the eact that Gene pleaded guilty.
Jack Lambert is joyous over the
outcome of the little incident. The
only thing Jack regrets is the fine
was not larger.
The autos must cease their reck-
less running" says Jack, and the
big policeman reiterated this saying
in the police court today.
1t may be this will have a whole
some effect on the auto driving gentle
men.
Again. it may not.

Walla Walla has no speedway 10

Walla Walla has no speedway for
automobiles.
But the men of the goggles and
leather cap will speed nevertheless,
and since the city was not thoughtful
enough to emulate the big eastern
cities in the way of providing race
courses for the odorous buzz buggies.
their drivers have taken unto them
selves the privilege of using the streets
for that purpose.
Paved streets are their preference
bv reason of the smooth surface and
greater speed possibilities.
Often, the unwary pedestrian is
made to dodge dexterously, or be
rolled
Sometimes the aforesaid pedestrian
doesn't have time to dodge and dis
astrous are the consequences.
But this is not a tale of pedestrians,
but one of a buggy left standing in
narrow street choked by gravel the
street committee should have removed
long ago.
