later.
In the meantime he had wired for

near his home who made a speciality

who is everybody's tailor and who has
made several millions of dollars by
serving in this capacity, was defen-

Tuesday afternoon. Price with his
best motor car was trucking along
Milwaukee avenue at the low speed of
twenty eight miles an hour when
Motorcycle Thad got on his trial and
when he got to the end of the avenue
Price got something that he had failed
to find in all of his motor trips abroad.
1t was notice to ''come along to
court. Price fixed it up to have the
officer wait until later and when he APP
peared in court today he admitted that
possibly he had made some speed on
the avenue. He paid fine Of ten dol
ars and costs. anyway it's a fine
roadway for going" he said as he lop-
ed out Of the court and climbed back
into his big car. Price is a frugal
millionaire and before he started to
speed again he kept his eye pretty
closely on the mirror on the front of
the car to be sure that no motorcycle
was following him.

SCHULZ WILL rs ADMITTED.
Contest Over Estate of the Late Hard
ware Dealer to Go to Circuit Court.

County Judge George w. Taylor has
handed down a formal order admitting
to probate the will of the late Her
man G. Schulz, former Park street
hardware merchant. 1t is understood
that the contest against the viii is to
be transferred to the circuit court.
Charles Schulz, a son, filed a protest
against the admission of the will to
probate, but when the case was called
in the county court no evidence in sup
port of the protest was given, it being
understood by all parties interested
that the appeal would be taken to the
circuit court, this being the court to
which the case was to come for a final
settlement. 1t is probable that the
appeal from the decision of Judge
Taylor will be heard at the October
term of the circuit court.
