WHAT is A SIDEWALK.
That is al Question wheelmen Would
Like Answered,

The question what constitutes a side
Walk was brought up in the Municipal
court yesterday before Recorder Turner.
Thursday night Ernest Smith, son of
Street Commissioner Smith of Deering,
was arrested at his home and brought to
this city upon the complaint of man
named Manning. The latter claimed
that young Smith was riding a bicycle
on the sidewalk on Ksnnebec street,
nearly opposite the foundry of Daniel L.
Kelley g. Sons, and that Smith ran into
him,
Smith was represented by L. b. Den
nett, who claimed that it was county
road, not street, where the affair &C.
Cured, in a path the wheelmen have
made and that pedestrians walk on the
other side of the road.
Recorder Turner thought it would be
better to have the street surveyed and
continued the case until today.
Smiths father said that he didn't care
to put the city to expense and would
rather pay the fine of 50 and costs. He
did so much against the advice OF hil
friends.
1t is understood that local wheelmer
will endeavor to make somebody define 6
sidewalk for their own protection.
