D. 1, recently appeared at the office of Justice of the Peace W. E. Schnee, Mont - gomery, and paid a fine and costs totaling $7.45, all in pennies.

In his spare moments, Mr. Schnee is examining the large pile of coins to see If there are any unusual coins, and especially in search of the very rare 1922 penny. It was intimated that Mr. Bryson might have been provoked because only seven days previously he had appeared before Mr. Schnee and paid a fine on a reckless driving charge.
