Was Making Dust Fly on Main Street
Late Yesterday Afternoon and
Police Pull Watch
on Her.
ERICSSON ALSO GRABBED
Faces Second offense and He Has
Employed an Attorney to Make
a Defense-Mrs. Taber VIII
Pay Costs.

Mrs. B. G. Taber takes rank as the
first lady automobile driver to be
called upon to answer the charge of
speeding. To-Day in the superior court
an information was filed by Chief of
Police Schevers, charging her with
exceeding the speed limit of ten
miles an hour No warrant was is
sued for her arrest, but notification of
the information was made over the
telephone from police headquarters
this morning. The alleged violation
Is said to have taken place on Main
street yesterday afternoon about 5
O'Clock.
Mrs Taber is declared to have
been the driver who escaped arrest
when the crusade against local auto
speeders was inaugurated. She is
represented as being the yelled driv-
er whose identity could not be learn
ed by the police.
A second information has been
fled against Arthur Ericsson the form
er water power company driver. De-
Tense is to be made to the charges
and Attorney B. F. Jones has been
employed to fight the case. Ericsson
was caught several months ago and
the company paid his costs, no fine
being assessed. For the second Of
tense the minimum fine is $25 and
this cannot be RENTED upon the pay
ment of costs as in the first offense.
The defense, it is said, will be based
on technically Attorney Jones
contends that Ericsson did not have a
proper appearance entered in the
first case, j. P. Allen of the water
power company, representing him, and
that therefor the present plea OF
guilty is not the second one. He will
contend that this is the first plea OF
not guilty entered by his client. The
defendant was running a machine OF
a local garage, being no longer EN-
| ployed by the water power company
Attorney Jones is preparing change
of venue, according to statement
made by him in court. A plea of moi
guilty was entered by Judge Nc
Namara.
Mrs. Taber will enter a plea o.
guilty in the morning and will pay
the costs, the same as defendants ir
| previous cases.

A dispatch received from Center
vile this afternoon by The Gate City
tells Of the awakening interest in the
Waubonsie Trail association. Chief
Engineer Staples is in the city at the
present time, as noted elsewhere, and
the Centerville article regarding the
proposed cross state route, is as fol
lows:
Establishing the route of the Wau-
bonsic Trail river to river road
through Appanoose county has stirred
up the greatest excitement and rivalry
of anything that has been before the
people in many day. The locating
committee has been besieged for days
with rival delegations from various
neighborhoods and towns wanting the
trail to come their way. All day yes
terday delegations came pouring in
from the east part of the county, rep
resenting as many as four possible
routes, each intent on having it go
their way. Moulton had the biggest
delegation in several autos. Udell
was on hand, also Unionville, and rep
resentatives of the road that ran down
the river to Mouton, missing Udell,
Of the road that connected Udell and
Moulton, and of a route running east
from Udell and missing both Union
Vile and Moulton. Finally the COM
mittee compromised the matter in the
way to please the greatest number
and get really the best route for trav-
ell, the somewhat longer, by going to
Udell and then to Moulton. From
there the route will go into Bloomfield
by way of West Grove. From Bloom
field east it is decided to 60 to Pulas
XII and then probably to Milton and
| Pennington.
West of Centerville there was also
intense rivalry for the location One
possible road went through Brazi
and Plano to Promise City, while the
other went two miles north of Sey
mour and through Jerome. This was
decided in favor of Jerome. The PEG
pie on the north route through Plano
and Brazil had in the meantime raiseo
a fund of $4,000 to grade down thei1
hills and put their route in the best
of condition. But it could not go bott
ways and the farmers along the othel
made pledges of similar loyalty tt
keeping up good roads. Now those
on the Plano road have asked the
Trail officers to permit them to pu
I'D sign boards at the places thei
road leaves the Trail, setting fortf
the fact that so many miles east O
west it joins the trail again, and rum
through Plano and Brazil. They ar
going to fix up their roads anyway.

senting the Waubonsie Trail associa
ton, has been in the county helpins

has now gone on east to work through
