Frank Sutter accidentally knocked a
little daughter of Milton Schlabig's
down with his bicycle while riding on
Main street a few days ago and broke
one OF the small bones of her left arm,
and in few days afterward ran over

arrested when he ran over the dog, but
as the Burgess could find no law that
provided for the case, he was discharged
without fine.
II is wonder there has not been
numerous accidents to chronicle about
small boys being injured by bicycles on
Main street The boys are 80 daring.
Two or three Of them will stand on the
street until the bicycle rider is almost
onto them and then perhaps they will
start TO run in different directions about
the time the bicycle rider turns out for
them and one OF the boys will run in
front Of the wheel. II boy happens to
get run down when doing such tricks
he is not deserving of any pity.
