There was quite a good deal of ex-
aitement caused in automobile cir
cles in Minneapolis the other day.
Seven arrests were made for speed
ing, one being the driver of the I'm
tied States mail vehicle. The police
made up their minds that they would
break up the habit of speeding or
break the necks of some of the fast,
drivers. One automobile ~Was#ehased5
for two miles before it was over
hauled. Wed like to see dick"
Jones chasing some of the chaps be-
tween the city and the lake-not that
they're going too fast, but merely to
see Dicks coat tails streaming out
behind.
The robbery of the B. w. Andrews
jewelry store last Monday night, or
early Tuesday morning, resulted In
the loss of even houndred dollars,
worth of watches and other jewelry.
A window in the rear was broken
into, and some of the show cases We're
likewise damaged. A number of
watches, sixty to seventy-1ve rings,
besides other articles, r among the
missing. 1t is suspected that the
thieves, after getting away with the
goods, left the city in a large Buick
roadster, as such a machine, one not
accustomed to be seen on the streets
of the city, was zen Of the street
after midnight and had disappeared
before morning.

| plentiful, or numerous, or else the
few that are here are very active.

had been a general scattering Of ar
ticles throughout the house, the
thieves evidently having examined
all parts Of the place and had not
taken the pains to restore anything
to its place. The extent Of the loss
could not be a~scertained until Mrs
Brown had completed the gathering
of the articles up and had taken a
sort Of preliminary inventory.

away with r. B. Lees new Reo-the
