ASLEEP AT THE
CEMETERY GATES
Police Find Auto on Park
Ave. With Driver Asleep
at the Switch.
TWO MEN ARRESTED

A hurry-up call was received at the
police department Sunday noon to
come to the cemetery. The detective
force, Rock, Breidt and McCluskey,
rushed to the scene, on Park avenue
near Park Row, only to be greeted at
the cemetery wall by a ludicrous sight.
An automobile stood cross-ways along
the road and head-on towards the
cemetery. There was man in the
front seat at the wheel and another at
the back, and when the police officers
shouted to the men to ask what was
the matter, they received no response
whatsoever. So far as appearances
were concerned, they might have been
two dead men in car which had hook
ed the cemetery wall in an effort to
get inside.
Both Dead to the World.
The police left their own car and
went over to the stranger vehicle to
see what was at fault. In front in the
ance suggested that he was farmer,
and in spite. of the big bump the car
had sustained in it's encounter with
the stone wall, he was fast asleep. In
back, the other man, who turned out
to be the owner of the car, was also
deep in Sunderland. A duet of shores
rocked the car
The men were awakened and the
owner of the car gave his name as
Robert Paulson, Zion City, and the
driver his as Claude Fletcher, Win
throp Harbor. The reason that sleep
had overcome both simultaneously, ac-
cording to the police, was that both
were dead drunk. q
Tow Car to Station.
The condition of the men made it
to find out what was their
idea in hugging the cemetery wall, or
whether the profound sleep was sug
gested to them by the sight of the
graveyard headstones. Meanwhile the
police found they could not start the
car, which had suffered from it's alb
rupt collision with the wall. The car
was towed in by the police automobile.
Paulson charged with driving an au-
tomobile while intoxicated left the car
as bonds for his appearance this morn
ing. Fletcher was booked on the
charge of intoxication and left SO as
bonds.
