acquitted.
The great crusade of the police against
unoffending bicvciists ended merely in ex-
pense to the City.
There Is talk, now, of having some OF the
policemen arrested for arbitrary and I'M
called-for attacks on law-abiding citizens,
and it is probable that the trouble will not
be ended for some time to come There
are charges, even, that the police are in
spired by the street railroad companies TO
persecute the men who find means of get
ting to and from their homes without the
aid of the cable cars or electric cars.
''The police have not the right to arrest
anybody they please merely because he
rides bicycle" said one of the victims
yesterday. ''If, without reasonable
grounds, they arrest citizen who is peace
ably walking on the sidewalk, the citizen
can obtain redress in a suit for damages.
The bicyclist who'does not violate the ordi-
nance has similar rights
1T is entirely unjust to swoop down on
"a man merely because he rides bicycle,
and to lock him up IN q cell at the City
Prison until he can produce $40 as security
in addition TO his bicycle; and it is
especially unjust when the arrest is made
on account of the poiiceman's ignorance
or misunderstanding of the law"
The bicycles used in San francisco are
generally of the kind sold for sos, and
the men who we're arrested had to leave
them in the City Prison tas evidence, !"
while giving cash bail of $50. How the
bicycle may he used as evidence In regard
to the alleged high rate of speed for which
any offender may be arrested is not I'M
derstood by the wheelmen, and the cir
cumstance OF having been caught on a
wheel ID any sucn case is not likely to be
denied.
II the penalty were for riding q bicycle.
then the bicycle might be of material
evidence, but the wheel when introduced
as a silent witness in q courtroom viii
never tell how fast its owner has been
travelling.
In Oakland the men arrested for riding
on sidewalks do not have TO give cash bail
of more than So, and they are allowed to,
take their machines with them when they
go.
The men arrested on Wednesday night
are: f. ?. Molloy, g. w. Hicks, H. Walt
Coutre, Alfred Ehmenn, Emil Languetin.
J. S. Brown, Albert Arens, Louis Adler,
T. W Boyd. Archibald Reid, j. T. Whe-
Ian, E. E. BURNER, S. Bergstein, J. Utschig,

Languetin was locked up about four
hours. He had something over sic in his
pocket, and his wheel was security enough
for his appearance in court, but the young
man was locked in cell while he was try
ing TO get word to his friends
1t is usually difficult enough TO reach
relatives and friends in such emergencies
late at night, but the police add d to
the natural difficulty on Wednesday
night and made matters as troublesome as
possibl- for the prisoners. This adds to
the belief that an intentional attempt at

Electric Bitters is a medicine suit
ed for any season, but perhaps more
generally when the languid ex-
hausted feeling prevails. when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of tonic and Alternative is felt.
A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and

poison. Headache, indigestion, con-

Tprning the Tables.

A professor who once took with him
to an appointment a favorite student
thought to test the young man. He was
to take the morning service and the
young man that of the evening. Accord
ingly while on the road to the ap-
pointment the professor pumped" the
youngster. Witness his surprise when
on giving ont his text he found that the
professor had stolen a march upon him.
His surprise was turned to dismay when
he found that not only text, but also
heads" and all had been appropriated.
Now, it happened that the pulpit was
an old fashioned one, and the professor
was very stout. To get in. ladder had
to be procured to enable him to climb
over the top. After service he chuckled
over his triumph. His triumph was,
however. turned to disaster at night
when the young man announced his
text, He that entereth not by the door
into the sheepfold, but climbeth mp

MANY sLEIohlNc PARTIES.

Merry Crowds Mako Last Nights Air
Ring with Voice and TIA Horn.
Sleighing parties made the city
ring with merriment in all directions
last night. Old Sol had been playing
havoc with the snow the past few
days and yesterday his burning rays
rendered the cotton-like article down
to slush and water, which got to-
gether in an icy mass last evening.
Those DESTROYS Of . sleigh ride saw
their opportunity rapidly vanishing
and were prone to expect nothing
but mud BY the time darkness
crowded in on the morrow. So it
seemed as if everyone got out last
night. There were all kinds of
sleighing parties organized-some in
the old fashioned and others in the
more genteel manner. The crowd
out for a time aud DESTROYS of let
ting everyone know it sailed up and
down the thoroughfares penetrating
the still night with noisy tin horn.
But no one objected All were
enjoying themselves. And the old
box without any seats carried
another happy flock who were con-
tent with budding up together on
the bottom of the box with straw
for customs. Then the hack with
side seats was out. too. An occa-
sional crowd perched upon hay
rack would glide along the avenue
hooting and cheering and having a
good time. In fact they were out
last night in all manners, and sleigh
ing parties bid fair to be more pop
ular than in late years this season,
providing the man in charge of the
beautiful does the square thing.
