There was a time when Allendorf had a motorcycle policeman, John David Sr., to catch speed violators. The American Automobile Association learned about it and advised tourists to beware of the speed trap. John did not like the people's attitude or the resentment towards him resulting from his traffic duties and resigned. Lee Mitchell rode a motorcycle in the Army and took over the job for a while. Mr. Tjaden then took over the job until a piston broke on the motorcycle one day and failed to make it home to Ocheyedan. The motorcycle patrol was then discontinued in Allendorf.
