Some cowardly villain has been dem
onstrating his dislike for bicyclists and
bicycles by scattering big tacks along
one of the asphalted avenues over Jersey
City Heights. This is about as con-
temptible a piece of petty crime as a
man could commit. The person who did
it ought to be stretched out on the pave
ment-and his own tacks-and held
there while a swill wagon runs over him
about eight times. -New York Times.

claimed that 'Pegleg"s drunk when

A heated argument was followed by a

the other hackman, and ''Pegleg" had
him arrested.
Robinson pleaded guilty in Justice

to be a good fellow the squire assessed
him only one cent and costs, $40 alto

morse this morning and offered to pay

The Bicyolist and the Railroads.

Why bicycle is not rated as baggage
by the different railroad companies is
obvious, but the chances are that before
the present agitation is over the bag
gage smashers will take better care Of
wheels ''What constitutes baggage may
be a question for jury before we get
through, - said Chief Consul Potter of
New York state recently. 81 am pre-
pairing a brief, and as far as can see
the railroads can be compelled to carry
wheels as baggage and to check them
the same as they do trunks and valises
In some cases cyclists are compelled to
pay for carrying their wheels and sign
releases at the same time. The law on
? the matter in this state is that so much
is charged per passage and $50 pounds
: of baggage. If anybody is charged in
excess, the company is liable to a for
felt of $50, and I will wager that the
r companies have forfeited in this way,
but not paid, fully $3.50, 900 in the last
two months. When my brief is pre-
pared, will submit it to the presidents
Of the L. A. W. and the board of trade.
A bicycle is personal property, and the
same rules which govern a satche1 or
trunk should apply to the wheel. -
