From the Pine Poker, May 6, 1920:
Considerable excitement was caused throughout the County, last Monday and Tuesday, and especially in Pine City, by an automobile tearing across country at about 60 miles an hour, more or less.
The first couple times the car went through Pine City, it was “here it comes and there it goes” so Tuesday afternoon Marshal Biedermann made up his mind to arrest them for speeding when they came through again. Half of the village was out in force to see the “pinch” made but were disappointed as the speeders were delayed by trouble with their car, and had evidently been warned, as they came through town about five o'clock at a snail's pace.
The car, an Essex Six owned by the Twin City Motor Co. had started from the Capitol Monday afternoon, on a race against time for 24 hours.
