Fines.
PASSING STREET CARS
TWO Drivers Were Fined on This
Count, Ono for No Plates and
Cases Against Others
Were Continued.

Ernest Athey was found guilty and
was fined 1895 in the superior court
Yesterday afternoon. He was tried
on a charge of passing a West Keo-
kuk street car which had stopped to
load and take on passengers.
Athey claimed that the motorman of
the car, L. o. Brilon had given him
the sign to come ahead. The people
waiting tc board the Car were said to
have been in the street and that it
vas necessary for some of them to
stand close to the car. One wonan's
,ress was touched by the auto, it was
aid.
The West keokuk car situation Is
rather unusual in that passengers are
discharged from one end and loaded
from the opposite side at the other
end. In the meantime the motorman
has to change his cash box and trolley
The driver of the auto thought he
had a right to come through the
crowd, if the car were not open. II
something can be done to have the
motormen or the cars open botE
doors and let people on as soon as
they stop, officials believe the situa
ton might be cleared.
Art Wappeles, charged with passing
a Warsaw car at Fifth and Man
streets was found guilty and hne(
