ROSSVILLE MAN IN A TIGHT PLACE

Daniel Shaw Drove Auto Into Bakery Wagon, Wrecked It, and Made Fast Getaway. Lafayette Journal. • The automobile speed demons from other towns .who expect to come to Lafayette, violate the law and get away with it, are mistaken. Last Saturday evening the delivery wagon owned by the Lange"bakery and driven by Jack Joyne, was struck, by a reckless automobile driver at the corner of Seventh and Columbia street®. The driver of the •car, did not stop, as is required by law, but continued on his wild ride up Columbia Hill. The horse was knocked down, Mr. Joyce thrown about 25 feet from the wagon, and the shaft and seat on the wagon were broken. The number of the automobile was (learned and William W. Weinhardt, head of the Weinhardt private detective bureau, made a trip to Rossville. He learned that the machine was the of Daniel Shaw, who lives about three miles north of Rossville. Mr... Weinhardt went to the Shaw home and the latter admitted that he was the man sought. He promised to come to Lafayette this morning and settle all damages. The settling of the damages done to the Lange outfit does not eliminate Mt. Shaw from criminal prosecution and it is likeQy that an affidavit will be filed against him for violation of the automobile law. The penalty, if inflicted, carries with it a year in the state’s prison.
