In the county court this morning a colored chauffeur was taxed with costs in n case for c.-erating an au tomobile past a stieet car while the -latter was stopped for the purpose of unloading and taking on passengers. The defendant plead guilty and had no intention of violating t ie low, be ing under a mistaken impression as to the same. The violation ocsurred on Main street where the street car track is doubled, and the car, a sum mer one, was on the off side of the street. The driver of the auto vas under the impression that he was not required to stop for a car on the far track. However, Chief Miller desires to impress on all drivers of automo bile that they arc required to stop their machines when passing a street car stopped for the purpose of un loading or taking on passengers, that is when the auto Is running on the side of the stree car rhere passengers are loaded and unloaded, whether along the singie or double track, eith er on the near or off track. When an onto is being operated along the clos ed side of a street car it is not nec essary to r.top. There was an affray case partially disposed of this morning. Only one defendant was present and his part of the case was heard, he being tax ed wit'.i cost's in his case. The other defendant kas not in court and hia case will come up later.
