BJCYCLE ITEM From OREGON.

noble red man We do not mean that II has
made n convert and rider Of him: this was ac-

are not an unknown phenomenon OF the Far
West; but we do mean that 1t has shown him
that it can subdue and overcome him. The Incl
dent ought to stimulate his ardor as rider. since
II the aborigines In question had had bicycles
they would have come of in good condition.
II all happened few days ago at the little
town Of Pendleton. Ore. az we learn by press
dispatch Two Indians came into town In the
morning and proceeded to vindicate their man
hood by getting drunk. We do not know II they
were bicycle riders. but certainly they were not
mounted on wheels that day. but rather on AMI
mails called horses. These strange beasts OF
course attracted considerable attention. but
there seems to be no law against their use on
the streets OF Pendleton. so long as they DO not
impede the progress OF bcyclsts. and the req
men would have had no difhculty had they
stunned the potent distillation OF the pale-face'
But this they did not do. and at about O'CLOCK
in the afternoon they assumed the offensive ana
mounted their horses ignoring the animals Ut
ter lack OF either handle-bar or pedals and be-
gan riding recklessly about town. They knocked
several ladies' and children Off their bicycles ana

an invalid. notwithstanding that the venerable
old gentleman rang his bell and rode upon the
sidewalk to avoid them. They then esped some
cowboys coming into town with little herd OF
stock. and after greatly annoying them hnahy
