SPEED COP MADE
STEFANI NERVES
SHAKE TO SHRED
That the speed cop coming up from
behind made' htm so nervous lie juat
couldn't help break the law, was the
unique defense set, up by A. Stefanl,
well known Cnnby eawmlll man, on
his appearance before the local jus
tice court Thuraday.
The plea was unavailing however,
and Judge Slcvers assessed him $25.
Stefanl was arrested Sunday evening
near the top of the Oak Grove hill by
Speed Officer Meads. He stated to the
court, following his plea of guilty,'
that he was a law abiding cttlzon and
would not have exceeded the speed
limit had It not been for the myster
ious gentleman who kept following in
his tracks, but who didn't seem to
want to pass him.
The nervoua shbek was more than
Stefanl could stand, and before he
realized what was happening he was
traveling about' 35 miles per hour.
This was the story set up In mitigation.

INTERMENT IS

In the arrest of Paul Tynick at

Wilson landed an Austrian spy. This
advice was received from federal of
ficials Thursday, and the man has
been Interned for the duration of the

Tynick was picked up while work
ing for the Oregon Electric as a sec
tion hand near Wilsonvllle, where his
statements concerning the I. W. W.,
had been brought to the attention of
the sheriff. He was arrested while at
work and was taken Immediately to
Portland and turned over to the fed
eral authorities for farther investiga
tion. The activities of a brother, who ap
peared shortly afterwards, led to

ties in violation of the espionage act,
and the brother Is now himself oc
cupying a federal cell.
It Is hinted that the brother, too,
will be sent to an internment camp
at once, as officials are , convinced
