ONE MANNER OF
CURING ROAD HOG
Auto Driver Forced to Ac-
counting Near Sandstone
for WreCkleSSneSS.

A speeder and road hog" tour
ing in automobile on the Federal
highway one day last week, was
given lesson" near Sandstone
that he will probably remember
for a while-a lesson that served
him just about right. The Pine
County (SandstOne) Courier tells
the vivid story in the following
lines:
When one drives the public
roads, it does not take long to
learn that there are road hogs
who have to be lodged to avoid
a spill as well as some who will
dodge from side to side to keep
another car from passing. Such
"a driver passed through here
last Sunday afternoon, soon af-
ter the storm, but he met his
Waterloo about three miles fur
ther on down the road, and if
more of such drivers got a SIM
liar lesson, the practice might
be somewhat lessened.
AS Chris Mundahl was help
ing out a stalled car, just south
of the Junction, the occupants
told him to watch out or he
might get hit. CHANGING up he
saw a Chevrolet coupe coming
down the road at a lively clip
and swerving from side to side.
When it came nearer it was evil
dent the driver was trying to
keep a Ford touring car from
passing him, and a few seconds
later the Ford was crowded in
to the ditch and tipped over, spill
ling the man, women and chill
dren out into the mud in all d.
rections. The Hog stopped to
help pick them up, and it was
found that none of them were
badly injured.
In the meantime, a big touring
car had arrived at the scene.
When the four occupants of the
car learned what had happened,
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1923-07-05

they promptly went to the Chew
rolet and in no gentle manner
dragged the Hog out onto the
road and proceeded with a little
law enforcement" all of their
own. They gave him a sound
beating with their fists and then
made him pay all costs for dam
ages, then and there. 1t took all
the money he had in his pockets,
and check besides.
The men explained that they
had been following the Hog for
quite a distance and that this
was the fourth car that he had
put in the ditch, and they
thought it was time he was Civ
en- a lesson that he wouldn't for
get for some time. They finally
allowed him to proceed, but
warned him that they would be
following him all the way to the
Cities and that if he did any more
of such work, he would be dealt
with still more severely. They
also told him to have all the fun
he could, as they would see to it
that his license be taken away
from him, if it could possibly be
done.
We say the four men deserve
a medal.

RESCRIPTS FROM
THE LAW COURT

Rescripts We're handed down by
the law court Tuesday in cases from
Somerset, Knox, Androscoggin and
Cumberland counties.
Somerset Case
In the Somerset county case of
frankie NJ. Beane VS.. Raymond Carl,
the motion of the defendant is over
ruled.
The rescript per curtain is as fol-
lows:
This is a complaint in bastardy.
The jury returned verdict for the
plaintiff and the case is before the
court on general motion. The case
had been tried before. At the first
trial verdict To- the plain
tiff was set aside, on motion, by
the presiding justice. There V. ere no
technicalities involved. The proper
preliminary steps were complied
with. The single question in the
case is whether the evidence is suf
ficient to justify the verdict. The
printed case is unusually long, show
ing upon the principal question of
guilt or innocence conflicting testi-
mony throughout. 1t was peculiarly
a question for the jury, to determine
from the mass of contradictory evil
dence what to believe or disbelieve.
From a careful study of the case
we are not able to say that the YER
dict is manifestly wrong.
