Our most respeckted citizens, including
men, wimmen and Children.
Well, several complained to Seth Dew
berry, our lion-hearted town constubble
They told Seth that if it wasn't his duty
to guard the welfare of Bingville.
whose duty was it, and unless he ar
rested Harry Cummings the next time
he passed through our midst they would
never vote for Seth as constubble again
as long as they lived Seth told them if
Harry Cummings went through Binq-
vile as fast the next time as he did the
last time that he didn't calkilate he
would lay hands on him. Seth said if
Harry would pause long enough in his
mad career he would a rest him gladly,
but that he didn't banker to Arrest him
in auto which was going about 90
miles per hour more or less.
Well, things come to a climax last
Tuesday when Harry, who had been
down to Snake Bend or somers, passed
back through Bingville on his way to
the Co. seat so fast that the auto simply
looked like blur on the Landscape. Just
to show how fast it was going, Deacon
Butterworth seen the auto coming and
says: "Here it comes!" and before he
could get the words outen his mouth the
auto was out of sight going, instead of
coming.
Well, after the auto had passed
through, Seth he was setting out on the
PLAYER in front of Hen Weathersby's
store considering ways and means of
aresting Harry, when Tyke Wheeler,
who had just druv from the Co. seat,
pulled up in front of the store and in
formed Seth that Harry had broke down
in the auto at the foot of Teck's Hill
and that if he wished to Arrest him now
was his charfce.
Seth he knocked put his pipe and run
to his house, where he procured his re-
volver and saw that it was loadened to
the muzzle, then Seth pinned on his
metal star on his coat, which is his
police badge, and he hurries outen town
lords where the auto was broke down.
When Seth arrived on the scene he
found Harry on his back in under the
thing tinkering with it in a effort to
make it go, while the grease was drip
ping into his eyes. Seth said the lang
widge Harry used on that occasion
was a little mite the worst he ever
heerd come outen the mouth of a hu-
man being Seth said he thort he recog-
nized artistick swearing when he herd
it, but he never heerd anything like that.
When Seth arrove he says to Harry:
"Well, Mister Cummings, I've got you
at last" What do you mean?" says
Harry. 81 mean" says Seth, that
you're under Arrest for passing through
our midst too goshrammed fast and

Bingville." alright" says Harry,
you're a OFFICER of the law and what
you says goes, but If you don't mind
I'll have this auto fixed in minnit
