F. H. Young of Lake Bluff felt particularly youthful Wednesday when appearing in Magistrate Mickey's Wilmette Speeder's court, he issued a formal and energetic challenge to one Peter Schaeffer, motorcycle policeman, to appear in the village of Lake BLuff at his own convenience and to choose his weapons. However there is reason to believe that Young intended calling upon certain of his townsmen to assume an active part in the proposed reception, when one considers carefully the tone of his concluding remarks, to-wit: "I'll see that you get soaked good." Young was arrested on a charge of speeding Tuesday evening when encountered by Schaefer on Sheridan road at Elmwood avenue. Schaefer ticked him off at 35 miles per. Young was assessed $15 and costs. All of which prompted the invitation so graciously extended to our sterling motor cop, who, be it said to his credit, "kept his peace," greeting the enraged one with a beaming and almost pitying smile.
