THE AUTO RACES.
D. DUNCAN ~. .ssSrH

SPEED, speed. speed.
~ A demon is set free
That space and time annihilates
That for the whirlwind never waits,
That from the lightnings fee,
A demon that has legs and wings
And wheels and all the moving things.
Chug, chug. chug.
1t rushes to the goal
As strong electric currents race
Without single breathing space
From pole to farther pole.
On beds OF air II spurns the ground
And IN q twinkling gets around.
Strain, strain, strain,
In every rod and bolt
1t pushes past the starting place
And enters wildly in the race
AS risky as a colt;
In scooting round q I'VE mile track
Front wheels almost run down the back
Crash, crash, crash,
Another victim low,
mass of ribs and driving rods
Comingled with the inert clods;
A call for music slow.
A finish that is just debris
And what the crowd had paid TO see.

PLEADS GUILTY TO CHARGE
OF FAILING TO SUPPORT

Upon the complaint of his wife, Mrs
Jennie Teedman, Arnold Teedman
was hailed before County Judge Bushey
this morning and charged with non
support. The plaintiff alleged that
Teedman has for some time past failed
to support or care for her in any man
ner.
After hearing the complaint read
Teedman pleaded guilty to the charge
He asked the court to be merciful this
time and give him an opportunity to
make amends. Teedman admitted
that he had not been supporting his
wife as he should but informed Judge
Bushey that if given another chance,
he would do so.
On account Of there being several
other points in the case not entirely
satisfactory to Deputy District Attor-
ney Winslow, Teedman's case was
postponed for final judgment until
Wednesday morning. Mr. Winslow de-
clared that the matter could bear
further investigation, and commented
upon the fact that even the complaint
was not properly sworn to-, inasmuch
as it bore the signature of a notary
not in the employe of the county
clerks office Teedman was remand
ed to the custody of Sheriff Mimic
