"The whole business is more
strange when one recalls the efforts

Despite great objections raised here,
large quantities of the surplus were

LAW CONVICTION
Two Men Sent to Penitentiary for
Failure to Comply We're Senten-
ced at Mason City.
BD NOT OBTAIN
CERTIFICATE OF SALE
Therefore They Stood Guilty Under
Statute of Ascending With Car
And 1t Was Only Ford

Mason City, Ia.-What is believed
to be the first conviction of the sort
in the state, resulted in the sendidg
of Otto Ludwig and j. H. Martin to
the state reformatory at Anamosa
for five years before Judge Joseph
J. Clark today.
Ludwig and Martin, selling sub
scriptions to various periodicals for
SO cents, bought or absconded with
a Ford car belonging to ]. 1. Arnold
of Dubuque. July 3. They faileL to
demand or receive a transfer of the
registration certificate.
The Thirty eighth general assem-
bly, passed law requiring the trans
Ter of the registration certificate
with every car sale. The buyer is
held responsible if this is not done.
The penalty is FIVE years in the re
formatory or the penitentiaEy.
Ludwig and Martin, ignorant OF
the law, failed to comply with its
terms. They are enroute to Ana
mosa. County officials are having
considerable trouble over neglect OF
this sort in the numerous sales OF
second hand cars here. They state
they will prosecute in every case.
More second hand cars are being
sold in north Iowa this year than
ever before. The reason for this state
Of affairs is said to be the cheaper
cost of upkeep and the lower tax
alton derived from the use of used
automobiles. ~
