Several Men with Non-tag-
ged Cars Appear in
Justice Court.

The following people from this city
appeared before Judge r. ]. Purcell
in justice court this morning and
We're ined for operating their automo-
biles without "A 1913 tag. which con-
stitutes a violation of the North Da-
kota motor vehicle law:
f. W. Lee, SIS; Oscar jackson. SIS,
and f. StinsOn, who vas arrested yes
terday for running his car without
the required tag, was fined $25 for
contempt of court after which he was
formally arrested once more and de-
clared his intention of fighting the
case which was then continued until
Wednesday of this week.
Theodore Thompson, also arrested
for not having secured a 1918 tag, was
arrested. and his case will com before
Judge Purcell next Wednesday.
These arrests. and several made on
Saturday, arc the results of a visit
made here by W. Meyer and H. r.
Berlinki. state officials sent from Bis
lnarck for the purpose of enforcing
the license clause of the motor We
hicle law.
No fewer than twenty arrests were
made on Saturday as a result of the
activities of the state officials, and a
fine OF SIS plus cost was imposed on
each offender. Many of those arrested
were in possession of receipts show
ing that they had sent money for their
1915 tag, but the officials maintained
that this was no mitigating circum-
stance and could not be pleaded in
justification Of the offense.
During Saturday and today a large
number Of applications for 1918 tags
were received by Justice of the Peace
Phil Mclaughlin.
According to the state laws, each
motor vehicle operated in North Da-
kota must have a 1918 tag placed
conspicuously on the front and rear
end.
