riohed In the sum of thirty.iive simol-
cons from the pockets of Pendleton
speeding autoists Ell route to witness
the ball game at Walla Walla Sunday.
Marshal Anderson was the man who
was ON the job and nabbed the pro-
testing drivers Of the buzz wagons
which were exceeding the speed limits
of the town. Roy Ritner was the
first to get his. when on Saturday he
was caught making mp lost time on
Milton's newly macademized Main
street. Sunday, George Perringer,
Spence Bentley and Carl Cooley were
stopped by the marshal aud assessed
$40 each for like offense. For some
unaccontable reason, autoists In gen.
eral seem to lose all sense Of time when
passing through towns up this way.
Either their speedometers become con-
gested with mountain ozone or their
benzine bucket is filled with trans.
portation bacilli that preoludes cog

practice of hitting the high places and
skidding around corners on two wheels
