He Was Hiding in Shed on Preble Street
Found After Several Hours Search
His Companion at Liberty.
Most of the bicyclers of Portland have felt
very indignant about the manifest careless
ness, OF worse, that caused the serious acct
dent to Mr.. Walker Tuesday night. A
movement was made yesterday to seek
redress for Mr.. Walker and bring the guilty
party to justice. Prominent in the effort
was Mr.. Benjamin Farnsworth, of the Port
land Wheel club, also captain of the wheel
ing division of the Athletic club. He applied
at the police station and the result was that
Officers Quinn, Chase and Firth were de-
tailed to hunt up Walter Rumery
Tim Thompson of Libby's Corner, who and
were identified as the two men in the team.
Rumery was known to have been employed
at Aliens stable on Preble street. About
six o'clock p. M, the search began, and
about ten o'clock Rumery was found in
hiding in an old shed in the rear OF SMELLS
blacksmith shop on Preble street. He was
lying down, secreted much as possible.
He protested that Mr.. Walker would not
get out of his way. He was taken to the
station and locked up and will probably ap-
pear before Judge Gould this morning.
Rumery is about SO years old. He was the
man who was driving the team.
The wheelmen will push his prosecution.
1t will come within the province of the
Maine Division of the L. A. W. to do so.
Also local wheelmen will unite to extend to
Mr.. Walker su bstantial testimony of their
sympathy. His misfortune is serious one.
His ability to continue his business as a
| watch maker may be seriously interfered
with.
Tim Thompson was not arrested. He was
simply riding with Rumery, who held the
reins

George Gould, son of Frank Gould, trav-

Larrabee's dry goods store yesterday morn

present, and Gould was standing with his
back to the firemen as they rushed a ladder
