PROBE OF "SPEED TRAP"
WASECA OFFICIALS MAKING
INVESTIGATION
Two Citizens Alleged to Have
Been "BIed" For Fifteen
Dollars Each

Waseca, June 11.-Dr. H.. G. Blan-
chard of this city has started an in
vestigation of the speed trap" south
of st. Paul into which two of u cit
liens fell a week ago last Sunday and
we're bled for SIS each.
DR.. Blanchard wrote the st. Paul
Association of Commerce regarding
the matter and a reply came from the
Mutual Automobile association, to
whom his communication was re-
ferred.
Frederick Lambert, secretary of the
association, stated that on investiga-
ting it has been found that the spot
where the tourists were stopped is
outside the limits of st. Paul and in
Dakota county. "We r erecting two
signs" said Mr.. Lambert in his let
ter, calling the attention of the mo-
toring public to the fact that this is a
speed trap"
Here is the manner in which the
game was worked: Gust Wobschall
and family and Mr.. and Mrs. Carl
Seeler were stopped south of St. Paul
by an alleged policeman who claimed
that the speed limit was Is miles an
hour and that they were violating the
law. Neither was driving up to the
twenty five mile limit and both pro-
tested. The alleged officer required
a cash bond of SIS to guarantee ap-
p~earance in court the following day.
This procedure was of course irregu-
lar. However, it must have worked in
nanny cases and likely was profitable
to the perpetrators. A receipt of the
money was given, to which was
signed the name. Joe Phelps"
