Deputy High Sheriff George Sea ran
an automobile yesterday for the first
time. His trip was not marked by the
dignity that is supposed to charac-

is the way it happened:
Sea had been given supplementary
execution for $154SO obtained against
the Burrell Construction Company by
H. Hackfeld & Company. Sea levied
on two iron concrete block machines
and the only other available thing in
sight was runabout auto. He nabbed
it, Sea did not know how to operate
an auto, so he hitched the thing be-
hind a dray and had the auto pulled
along at a snail's pace. Sea sat on
and steered the machine. 1t was un-
dignlhed but safe.
