VAGVj tctotit MTCDFOTID MAIL TRTT5UNE. MTSDFORT), OR EG OX, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 0. 1918 L result of being "over touiilit" and corluln disorganization due to the Knoral retreat under constant beavy pressure. fcarl TtoynoldH, who owns and op erates a taxlcab, was tried before the city oouncll lat nlKht on the charge of using Intoxicated while driving his taxlfab, was found guilty and was placed on three months probation. If during thlB probation period he be comes intoxlcutod or Is guilty of an)' misconduct whatever his city license to operute a taxlcab will be automat ically revoked. The council vote on this was unanimous. The councilman, altho having no doubt oC Reynolds' guilt as charged, "were loath to revoke his license with out giving htm another chance. Coun cilman Davis, howover, before the vote was taken to place Reynolds on probation, declared emphatically that as a man and citizen he did not be lieve In whitewashing Reynolds and that he favored revoking his license at once, but that out of courteey to the other councllmou who wanted to give Roynolds a chance, he would abide by tlio will of the majority. Tho charge against Reynolds was preferred by Chief of Pollco Tim othy. City Attorney Fred W. Mears conductod the prosecution and Uus Newbury appeared as attorney for Reynolds. Several citizens testified, and others, woro ready to come and testify against Reynolds if needed. While the accused was only tried on the one charge Chief Timothy de clared that for some time part Reyn olds had been In the habit of taking parties to California towns several times a week and driving 'back to Aledford In an intoxicatod condition, lie stated that many complaints to this effect had been tnado to the po lice, but that the lnttor had been un able until now to get the goods on him. Altho admitting that he took a drink or two occasionally, Reynolds denied that ho over drove his taxi In ' an intoxicatod condition. lie declar ed, too, that ho put In long hours dally with his taxi with many late night drives, and that ho had fol lowed an Invariable rule when tired out and drowsy, to stop at the side of a road or street nnd roat or sleep, rather than run nny risk of an acci dent.' Tho specific charge on which Rcynoldn was tried Inst night was that about 9 p. m. Thursday, August 22, while In nn Intoxicated condition he stopped his taxi at the side of the street on North Riverside, near Iho Jackson stroot bridge, and slept, leaning over the steering wheel. Peo ple In the neighborhood after ha had teen in this position for some time, thought that ho wns dead, nnd Thonod tho pollco that thero was a dead man In a taxlcab. Ucfore the pollco arrived somo men who passed by pushed tho taxi to tho Jucks.on stroot hrldgo nnd went away. Still tutor another group of citizens passing by on the bridge and seeing the taxi with Reynolds In It still Bleep pushed tho laxl over tho bridg to tho cannery nnd nwnkonod Reyn olds. Also one of tho men found a bottlo of whiskey In the tnxl and took It away. In answor to this charge Reynolds declared Hint ho wns perfectly sober but was thoroly tired out with n long drive nnd much lorn of sleep for n week previous, and In accordance with his custom when fooling Hint way, hud slopped Iho car on River Bide to rest up. and hud fallen asleep.
