DINNER ARREST
SHERIFF DECLARES THAT ACTION

COMPLYING WITH

The news story in The Republican
concerning an arrest in Mitchell of a
woman from outside the city for yio-
latlon OF the automobile DINNER" law
and the resulting editorial attracted a
great deal of comment in Mitchell.
In the news article, il was intimated
that the woman had driven to Mitchell
Sheriff E. d. Owens and States Attor-
ney p. A. Zollman stated this morning
that the case has never come to trial.
The woman merely put up check for
her appearance. and it was the refusal
of the husband to allow paymnt on this
that caused much of the trouble.
As related by Sheriff Owens, the car
was found on Fourtha Venue with the
lights ,undimmcd. He spoke to the driv-
or and she turned on til esmallcr lights
He informed her that this would bic
insufficient, and that it would be me-
ccssary for her to appear in police
court for violation of the law. She gave
him check for herappearance. The
car was a large one and had pow
crful headlight. The woman gave EVIL.
dencc Of knowing that the law re-
quired DINNERS.
: The husband called up Sheriff Owens
the following morning and told him
that the law was not constitutional and
that 1t would be impossible for the
Officers to prosecute. tic lhcn look the
matter up with the attorney gecnral of

We're well within their rights.
d, The entire difficulty seems to bavo
arisen out of conflicting interpretations
over. the law. The law says that cars
must have DINNERS" or lenses that
diffuse the light. The Roswell party
claimed that the smaller light was
DINNER enough, but the local officials
have been instructed that they are COR
rect in interpreting the law to rqulrc
special lenses.
Sheriff owens stated that he has
been receiving numerous complaints
from people who have been troubled
by cars without DINNERS. Most motor
lists unite in praising the provisions Of
the law, and the county officials insist
that they will continue to prosecute
whenever they are convinced of an in
tent to violate the law.
