Gar- Deal Are Losers, Including Police $5 Buy Goes to ““Grave Yard,” Price to Court, Traders Miss Jail. As a business proposition, the sale of an automobile by Willlam Keeler, colored, to Darvin Garrett, colored, for a consideration of $5 must be recorded as a Zailure from all viewpoints, Even the policeman who entered the principals’ lives a few minutes after the transaction got “gypped.” : Garrett had slipped Keeler the $5 nd had chugged scarcely a block, looking like a bootlegger trying to evade the minions of the law by using a smoke screen, when Policeman Q. E. Heyne stepped up beside him. “You,” said Heyne to the grinning new car owner, “will have to get that thing off the streets. It's making too ! much smoke.” Garrett's face had scarcely completed its first fall before another blow was struck: The officer asked for his per- mit. Not having one, he reluctantly turned over the controls to Heyne for a ride to the precinct. However, the an- clent car had only one wheeze left. I rett cranked for 10 minutes and then | the officer tried. Finally Heyne grabbed his man and trudged to the station house. A half hour later Keeler had been brought in for not relinquishing his “tags” after the sale. The $5 he had just recelved was taken as collateral by police. Garrett asked Judge Ralph Given for a jury trial for the permit charge today Kecler was satisfied to dispose of his machine without cost, the $5 being forfeited. while the thing that caused the trouble was removed ment houses or semi-detached hcmes. | At the conclusion of the discussion Mr. Thornton presented his resignation as a member of the association and withdrew from the meeting. expressing the | thought that he did not feel that he had been falrly treated by the n;socm~1 tion. The dangerous curves at Second and | Van Buren and Second and Whittier | streets were called to the attention of | the association and the District Com- missioners will be urged to remedy them. Stop signs also will be requested | at these points and at Fifth and Aspen | streets, since Fifth street has been | designated recently as a boulevard from Butternut street south to the Sol- | diers’ Home grounds. ‘ The removal of a large spruce tree | from the center of the park to the new | municipal _playground in time for | Christmas is planned and arrangements | have been made for the necessary | funds for its removal.
