l. New Rockford Transcript: John
Rude, the proprietor Of the Carrington
Heating & Plumbing CO. was taken
in charge by Officer Paul Meng. We'd
nesday afternoon and hailed before Po-
lice Magistrate j.. L. Kinnaird, charg-
ed with fracturing the automobile or
dinance Of the city by hitting up a
good clip through the streets after
dark Tuesday evening, without any
lights. The officer also accused Mr..
Rude OF fracturing the speed ordi-
nance, n although John vigorously
insisted that his old gunboat was in
capable of going over six miles an
hour, and 1t was a moonlight night,
the magistrate fined him $40 and
costs, amounting in all to $12.3 80. John
has lived so long down in the Car
rington village, where it really doesn't
matter how fast you drive through
the streets, as there is no one there
whose life n limb will be dange
ed, that he doesn't know how to act
when he gets into a real city-so he
really was eXcusable for the fractur-
ing of the ordinance.
THAT SWEET STORY OF OLD.
