FRED JR.
HAD THRILLS
GALORE

A try-out trip on a new Indian
motorcycle furnished Fred Carter. Jr.,
the son of F. S. Carter. manager of the
Hammond Brewing Company. with the
keenest sensation of his life yester-
day forenoon. 1t made his hair stiff,
his Adams apple slip down his esoph
agus and made him thankful when he
came to in ditch with injured an
atomy that he was alive.
Young Carter left his home in S04
Holman street in motorcycle that
did not belong to him but which he had
permission to use. He experimental on
everything that was loose and found
how to start and stop her without any
trouble. He sailed down Holman
street and rounded the Four Corners.
II wonder how fast she'll go" was
the thought uppermost in Carter's
mind and so he crossed the State Line
about as fast as the Michigan Central
does. Before him lay a pretty stretch
of road and life seemed a beautiful
fantasy. Open went the throttle and
on sailed Fred
Finally he decided that 1t would be
advisable for him to take in his sails as
a blue coat could be seen in the dis
tance. Some how or other his concep-
ton OF how to operate motorcycle
changed and in&tead of lessening the
speed he turned 1t on fun force.
The gas worked like a charm Red
Van Sickle never passed over this
earth as fast as Carter did, when he
shot by the policeman at a rate tina
would have broken a speedometer. 1t Il
stated that he must have travelled sixt,
miles an hour after he was slowed III
a bit on a bad stretch of road He cater
paulted into the ditch and the ma
chine climbed a fence.
Hereafter Fred will confine himsel
to running Is fathers machine at
rate well within the speed limits. H
is suffering today from bad bruises
bumps, sprains and muscle strains.
