over to Killeen and took his place be- side Holmlund. First he saw to it that the car was thrown into second speed Then he found something wrong with the brake and loosened that part of the apparatus Then he gave the car some juice" and like a shot out of a gun, No. 23 sped away from the patrol wa gon. When the patrol wagon making
 better than thirty five miles an hour drew along side No. 2S, there was a pretty race for two or three blocks. The
 speedometer then registered twenty
 five miles an nour.
 In court little later Holmlund was assessed a fine Of BIO although Judge
 Mcbride had previously warned him that while the usual fine was $15 he would assess a fine of $25 if it was shown that Holmlund was trying to deceive him as to the capabilities of the car. That's where the mathematical problem in the affair comes in. Holm
 lund carries a sign on the back of the
 car which reads: Please excuse my

 It all came about through his claim, when arrested for speeding, that his little vivid yellow R. c. H. car, No. 23, wouldn't make any such speed as Mo- torcycle Policeman Behr charged he had been making when apprehended He said he was certain his car wouldn't miles an hour. Judge Mcbride said he would give Holmlund a chance to dem onstrate.
 Sending Clerk Killeen to be a pas senger in the Holmlund car, he asked Chief Of Police Brisbois to take out the police patrol car and with a witness to take the yellow cars speed when it was running at it's best. Holmlund agreed and started out. For a few blocks the little machine groaned and creaked and the patrol ear speedometer registered between twelve and fourteen miles.
