INJUSTICE TO A CYCLlST.
A Local vi eelman Punished for Ubir
tentlon IL Ordinance Violation,

tention Il Ordinance Violation.
J. C. Dunn, of this city, was a
victim last night of an unfair dis
elimination on The part of the Daven-
port authorities under the bicycle
ordinance OF that city, requiring,
among other things, as is the case
here. that wheelmen carry lights at
night. Dunn was coming down Main
street, and just as he neared the pc
lice station the flame in his lantern
vanished. Dunn did not observe the
fact that his i.ht was not shining
instantly. but copper did aud put
him underarrest. The cyclist was sur
prised, and to convince the police
that his lantern was lit but few
seconds before, asked them to place
their hands upon it, as it was still
warm. This they refused to do,
stubbornly maintaining that he had
violated the ordinance and must suf-
fer. All expostula ions were in vain
and this morning the unlucky wheel
man was assessed 81 and costs,
amounting to s5.45.
Mr.. Dunn said this afternoon that
he regarded his treatment by the
Davenport police as an outrage: 81
was treated as tramp and a crimi-
nal at the station" he said, ..com-
PEELED to give $40 security for reap-
pearance this morning, and then
when l appeared before Magistrate
LeClaire he assessed me $5.45. When
l asked il an appeal could be taken,
he CURLY replied that could go and
find out what steps could be
taken, but that incidentally he would
add an additional $40 for asking that
question, and that l would be de-
tanned until paid it. During my
detention l was subjected to more in
dignities, but finally through the in
tervention of friends ! was released.
The case will be appealed in its en-
tirety, and the legality of the ordi-
nance and the treatment l received
tested to the utmost"
Cyclists Are Indignant
The cyclists of Davenport are in
censed over the discrimination
against Mr.. Dunn, which they term
as an outrage, and aver their inten-
tion of making a test case of it, and
combating the imposition of the
penalty under the extenuating cir
cumstances.
