come to head. but it was noticed that
OF the YcrcSsions there was good de-

SPOKANE COURT CLEARS
CARTER ON AUTO CHARGE

X. w. Carter of the HIartin-Car-
ter Implement company, was cleared
of charges OF reckless driving in the
court of Justice Stocker in Spokane
Tuesday. The case grew out of a
collision between cars driven by Mr..
Carter and f. r. Mast of Spokane
| Monday. MIR Carter, with Oscar
Kincaid and Lewis Wayman, was
driving south on Monroe street and
in making the turn into a driveway
near the International Harvester
company building was struck by the
machine driven by F. r. Mast Mr..
Mast insisted that Carter was guilty
of reckless driving and caused his
arrest on that charge. After hear
ing the testimony Justice Stocker
ruled that Mr. Carter had full right
of-way aad that the accident was
due to the driving of Mast himself
Since the case was dismissed Mast
has filed suit for $500 damages,
which he alleges is the amount Of
injury to his car, but it is believed
that the case will never get into
court Mr.. Carter states that Mast
was driving north on Monroe street
at a speed of at least 30 miles an
hour while Carter was turning into
a. L - L i
to the speed of the Mast car he
claims that the driver was unable to
avert the collision, and lays all the
blame on the Spokane man The
