of travelling miles at breakneck speed
over a roundabout course to head off
a law breaker bound for the state
line, or giving chase to recklessly
driven automobile over a tortuous
mountain road.
Late last summer the New Brighton
sub-station was apprised of the fact
that thieves had gotten away with
the City Recorders car from in front
of the Pittsburgh County City Build
ing Private Breese on his motor
cycle, after an exciting chase, over
hauled the car. The men We're heavily
armed and strongly resisted arrest
but Private Breese. single handed
arrested and disarmed them. The
prisoners had with them a yeritablc
arsenal of automatic revolvers and
cartridges. as well as a complete APP
paratus and tools for the erasure and
reprinting of automobile numbers.
While on night patrol duty on the
Lincoln Highway, q motor policeman
observed a wildly carfening car adj
vancing toward him at a high rate of
speed. He gave chase. The reckless
driver swung his car sharply to the
left in an effort to run down the state
cop directly behind, every time he ap-
preached at the rear of the car and
commanded him to stop. This kept up
for many miles until finally the mo-
torcyclist decided on showdown.
He sped rapidly along until he was at
the side of the driver, and then deftly
showed the barrel of his revolver in
TO the fellows ribs. and again com
manded him to stop. He stopped,
with suddenness which sent the rear
seat passengers sprawling over those
in front. The party of four was
taken in. it was found that the auto
mobile, as we'll as the load of booze,
had been stolen.
Only few weeks ago, Troop "a
Headquarters received word that the
and Trust Company, in Western
Pennsylvania city, had been held up
and robbed of $4,000 Four young
men in a big touring car, headed east,
were alleged to be the guilty parties.
Six motorcycle men were Immediately
dispatched to the scene from Troop
Headquarters, and they began comb
ing the entire vicinity. The same day
word was received from the garage in
a nearby town that four men. with a
big blue touring car, had come to the
garage, and, after having a new tire
fitted to one of the front wheels and
the gas tank filled, politely thanked
the garageman, by viciously assaulting

Now Come to Old Home in New
Sharon

From Denver, Colorado to Augusta,
Maine, in 20 days in light truck with
the trip being taken in the tag-en of
winter is the record that has been set
up by w. S. Freeman. 1t is possible
that if this hadn't been the most un-
usual kind of a winter that the run
would not have been done, but the
fact remains that the journey was
made.
Besc of ALL no untoward incident
happened and Mr.. Freeman and Mrs.
Freeman are now at the old home in
New Sharon where they plan to
spend the summer
Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman in a Ford
worm drive truck left Denver on
March 3. AT 7 o'clock in the evening
of March % they arrived at Augusta
and put their little conveyance in the
Capital Garage Co. quarters They
secured gasolene, OIL had a tire
fixed and at 10 o'clock on the morn
ing of March "a they started for New
Sharon.
Aside from the fact that the trip
was uneventful despite the time of
year it was taken, the most interest
ing feature, as related by Mr.. Free
man, was the varying price in gaso-
lene that he met. In Denver, when
he left, he was paying 20 1-2 cents a
gallon. Several companies were hav-
ing price war and that it why the
cost was so low When 300 miles east
of Denver, the price of fuel was found
to be 45 cents a gallon but it had

was reached. F'r-.n there to Boston,
the price varied from 80 to 35 cents
and at Augusta. the price was found
to be 20 and 80 cents.
Mr.. Freeman also called attention
to the fact that the worst piece Of
road he struck on the whole trip was
between Gardiner and Richmond.
The Ford truck was equipped with
a camping outfit which was used by
the young man and his wife during

Plan Addition to
POWhatan ST. Garage

The Central Maine Motor Co. on
Powhatan street has taken the agency
for the WHY'S Knight and Overland
automobiles for the year 1921 and
models of both these machines are now
being displayed at their garage. Both
are attracting much favorable COM
ment.
The garage OF the Central Maine
Motor Co. is less than year old but
already the mana gers are discussing
the ACCESSIBILITY of erecting an addi-
ton. TO take care of the increased
business that is sure to come with the
visit of the summer tourists. AL
though there is floor space for 20 cars,
it is felt this will not be big enough
to meet the demands made. An es-
pecial effort has been made by the pro-
prietors. TO secure the best of me-
chanics.
