SMASHED HIS NEW WHEEL
A Sccrcher Badly Done Up by a Horse
and Cart


Another ''scorcher" came to grief lie
riding on, Also street yesterday, just be-
yond the Alameda crossing. This time
it was a small boy named Willie Carr,
who resides with his parents on Griffin
avenue, and he was mounted on brand
new wheel. AS he whirled down Also
street he was met by George ]. Peterman,
farmer, who was driving in from
Whittier behind his best horse hitchcd
to cart. Willie attempted to cross in
front Of the approaching vehicle, but he
was going too rapidly to control his ma
chine. The horse was also coming at a
good rate and could not be stopped be-
fore ha thrust his fore leg through the
wheel Of the bicycle. Then lively m ix-
ing up ensued. Wheel. rider and horse
all fell In heap, the horse on top of the
wheel and the cart ON top of the boy. He
crawled quickly out of the tangle and it
was found that one arm was badly
scratched and brdised. The wheel was
totally demolished.
Farmer Peterman succeeded in getting
his horse once more on his feet, very lit
tic worse off for the encounter, and he
proceeded on his way rejoicing in the ad-
vantages of driving in the good old-fash-
ioned way as compared with these fiimsy
bicycles. And Willie picked up the un-
recognizable remains OF his new whe
and went his way also, but not rejoicing.

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE
Bennie Thought Alexander Honest, but Was
Wrong

Wrong
Bennie Sullivan is a sport, and what is
more. he has opinions. 1t matters not
to him what proposition comes up, he
always has his own idea of it, and snort
to the marrow that he is, is always ready
to back it up with whatever may happen
to be about his jeans, whether money,
marbles or chalk.
Last evening he got into an argument
on Upper Main street with another boy
companion as to whether a china marble
of his was prett,er than another owned
by the other fellow. In order to convince
the latter Bennie pulled out 81 and
offered to bet.
A supposedly trusty. stakeholder was
present in the person of Alexander
Buena and Master Benhie deposited the
money in his hands. The sight of so
large an amount of wealth quite ratified
the dlssenter, and to quote the term
which Bennie used to express his con-
tempt, "De kid crawfished.'
With "a triumphant LOOK in his big blue
eyer, Beanie turned to Alexander and
requested him to hand over the 81. For
some reason the latter refused to com ply.
1t may have been that he did not think
it safe for SO small boy to handle all
that wealth, or his reluctance may have
been from some other cause-probably
the latter, but at all events he refused to
cough up" as asked.
While Bennie differed from him on this
proposition, he did not offer to substan-
tiate his opinion with coin, but quite un
like his characteristic nerve called in the
services uf Officer Talamantes. The lat
ter took the stalwart stakeholder in
charge and sent him to the station, where
he was locked up.
\ charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses was entered against him,
but this can hardly stick. If 1t is
changed to the more serious one of en-
bezzlement, q good case can pIobaDly be
made against him.

decided to ascertain the cause of the de-

He called upon Mr.. Knell and requested
that the violin be returned. The latter
excused himself on the plea that he had
loaned it to a friend, but promised to
secure it and hand it to the owner the
following day. This he failed to do
however. and when approached second
