1S OF FIFTEEN LIGHT
 MALEFACTORS FINED
From Fridays Daily)

after he had painlessly extracted pleas of guilty" from l3 persons, firms or corporations, present in his court room for the purpose of ex- blaming how they came to be "lit up" the other evening, and at the re- quest of the sheriff's office, what do you think would be about right?"
 None of the boys, including the firm or corporation, deemed anything about right, if at all, so there was no reply. The court suggested two and a half plunks. There was stupefying lack of enthusiasm, al- though the sum was vastly less than those which had been floating about in whispered but speculative conver- sation. It really didn't get to a vote this matter of the $2.50. There being no dissenting eor any other kind of a) vote, the court permitted itself to understand that $250 would be just enough of the American money to cause the persons, and cor poration, to remember about auto mobile lights, yet not enough to cause inward bleeding from the mere fact of the amount. The principle of the thing was in fair way to being defended by one or two, but the af- fair was carried out in such a jolly fashion, that 1t was worth the price of admission-or, nol-that is an er- roneous statement. Nothing was charged for admission-it was the outgoing that cost.
 The arm of the law that waved an electric torch on the road beyond Whipple Barracks Wednesday night. was very indiscriminate in its gath erings-in. It got more than one stage line or taxicab driver. It halt ed few persons of social promi- nence and others whose only claim to prominence was their interest in the sport of after-dark motoring. Among the former class was an of- ficer from Whipple Barracks, who regarded it as not any more than fair that this incident should result ill the general enlightening of the motoring public as to its privileges and duties under the headlight sec ton of the motor vehicle law
 It is to supply what the doctor re- quested that the Journal-Miner this morning has enlisted the aid of few live accessory dealers whose an- nouncements appear on this page.
 Do "Where from?" the courts suave voice purred.
 Denver" replied one of the scala wags.
 That's foreign money" the court droned on amid mirth in which the Colorado devil joined cordially, land we must get it"
 "Yes, and I've got an excuse for all three" asserted one defendant when informed that he was a three way offender. He disposed of two of the three by suitable explanation and was fined on the third.
 Clarence Eckert pleaded guilty in his own name and in that of the people-no, that's what Wilson sign ed on the peace treaty-it should say, that of the Arizona Bus company. for which he labors in this and that vinyard.
 And just remember" said H. B. Hinman, "that that light was on Ford" MT. Hinman's assistance in swinging an ad for this page is hereby acknowledged. Painful, may be, Hinman, but worth itl
 MT. Kahle's first name was not known, but his last caused the court much satisfaction. It was kale he was after.
 Mir Kastner was inclined to leave the matter of defense or explanation to Russ Jones, who sold him the car. MT. Jones said he believes on test, the light on one of the cars would climb just a trifle over the handle of a 42-inch driving club. But that's the last you'll get" he said with firm determination.
 The court looked pleasant in quiry.
 q didn't mean that's the last two and a half you'll get" MT. Jones continued pleasantly, too, but it's the last Nash you'll find without proper lights" MT. Jones represents the Nash, you see.
 Specifically the charges were: No red tail light; no license numbers and too much front light.
