bined efforts of the men f;Aled to
eject him from car. He was taken
as far as Front and Walnut streets.

policeman called in. Smith took
his stand in the center of the car
and defled any of the "blinkity
blank cops in the half-rate borough
to get him out" The officer did
get him out, not quite so gently as
he might have desired, but he got
him out nevertheless and lande him
in the lookup. Last night he was
reprimanded by the burgess and
fined ten dollars and costs. Patrol
