tween crow and blackbird in the Agri-

blackbirds were finally victorious through
the aid OF recruits who came flocking at the

WAS AN ACCIDENT,
The Bicycle Rider WINS Not Careless
Said WituesScS

Said Witnesses.
This morning in Judge Kimball's court
young man named James Edward was
given a hearing on a charge of failing 10
have his bicycle under control, and also
with conducting his wheel in manner so
as to collide with a pedestrian. This al
legged violation of the law occurred at the
| intersection Of Pennsylvania avenue and
18th street Saturday. Miss Annie Lenders
colored, was knokcked .lown and her mar
keting was scattered about the concrete
pavement.
1t appeared from tie testimony Of Po-
l!Ceman Hodges that the young man was
l riding one wheel an holding another
When he got near the track a cable car
appeared, and there was vehicle on the
side near him. When the car came along

speed at which he WAS already riding the

wheel which he was riding struck Miss

She said she did not hear the wheelman

A witness who appeared for the defend

| walked into the wheel and was 10 blame
| for the accident. The policeman said that
| the young man acted very gentleIGanIy
and expressed a willingness to pay Cor any
| damages he might have caused.
In his own behalf the young man said
that the accident was unavoidable and
that he had his wheels under control at
| all times.
when l saw 1 could not get out of the

wheelmen have not The right of way at

| right of way at crossings over all vehicles
| In this case, the court said, there was some
doubt about the guilt of the defendant, and
the charge was dismissed.
