Chief Of Police Alex Manning is not
exactly a cowboy but he knows how
to bulldog a speeding motorcycle, a
sport just about as dangerous as
bulldogging a long horned steer. On
Friday night a motorcycle, with two
men aboard, passed him on Cotton
wood street at such a speed that he
couldn't even tell whether they were
burning lights. He laid in wait for
their return and when half block
distant signalled them to stop. They
slowed down as if they intended to
stop, but, just before reaching him
swerved suddenly and turned on more
juice. The cycle Jumped ahead but
the chief made jump, grabbed the
handlebars and the three men and
machine fell in a heap to the pave
ment. Luckily none were hurt but
the machine was damaged. The men
proved to be Lester Harrington ano
oder Demdauw Of Pilot Rock and
each paid a fine.
