Doesn't Hold
Make Another

thought a load of sand looked
heavier than the state laws al

er, Omer Gnau, Fort Wayne,
into a weighing station.
But on the way to the scales,
Myers said, Gnau stopped and
dumped off part of the load.
The trooper had the last word:
however. He arrested Gnau on a
charge of hauling a leaky load,
