1t is extremely probable that the
wheel detained at Hector is Mr.. Cas-
wells wheel The thief had time to
run to the woods and remain there fer
the night, starting for the Milwaukee
road the next morning, and arriving
at Hector, 80 miles from this city, in
the afternoon of that day. The party
under arrest was considered a suspic-
ious character also, and the owner of
Victor, one of the high grade wheels,
would not only be suspicious but
would be able to give satisfactory ref
erences to a marshal Mr.. Caswell
did not take the number of his wheel
and hence the necessity for personal
Identification. Bicyclers should take
heed and write the number of their
wheel in their memorandum book at
once.
The wheel was an 1894 pattern Vic
tor bicycle, made by Overman Wheel
Co. Originally it had steel rims, but
this spring the steel rims were replac-
ed by wooden rims, with Morgan &
Wright tires | seven-eights inches
in diameter, front tire D. pattern, front
sprocket of 20 teeth, rear sprocket s
teeth, wide chain. The handle bars
are short and not adjustable, cork
handle, grips little curved with
nickle-plated ferrules. The seat
shank was goosenecked, with black
frame, nut on the end of crank proper
with no crank pins.
The stealing of a bicycle is a great
er theft nowadays than the stealing Of
a horse, and the arrest and conviction
of bicycle thief will undoubtedly be
the foundation Of a severe sentence
all wheelmen being interested in see
ing that the thief gets the best in the
Judges criminal code book.
