TO ANSWER CHARGE OF
SPEEDING MOTOR CAR.

TO his brother Henry was worth $3.50
and costs to him in Police Court this

Clarence and Henry are twin broth
efs. They say they don't resemble
each other very much, but the police
take the opposite view.
Chief Bennett saw the big green au-
tomobile, homemade affair, owned
by the twins, flash by him on upper
Main street the other day. He recog-
Iniaed the car, saw the occupants, and
thought he identified the driver. The
chief thought it was Clarence Fuller.
He came down to the City Hall and
made charges against the young man.
Clarence told the police that q dread
ful mistake had been made. He said
that he was not in the car on the
morning in question. The chief would
not positively identify Clarence.
This morning, Miss Lula Roberts
who was in the car at the time, ap
peared in Police Court when Clar
ence's case was called, and testified
THAT Henry was the driver Of the car
Clarence was released.
Charges were then made agains
Henry for speeding. He will be giyeI
