 A. LeBarrOn had an interesting ex- perience last week. He left here on his bicycle for the Grand Canyon, taking the road east of the peaks. By mistake he took the Clay Flats road and kept on to the Little Colorado river. When he reached the river he was almost furnished for food and water, but he could not drink the river water, and would have perished but for the aid of some Navajo Indians who found and cared for him. They took him back to the canyon road and he reached Cedar station. where he abandoned the bicycle and finished the rest of the trip by stage. The Board of Supervisors should have a sign board at this point, as this is not the first time chat bicycle riders have taken the wrong road.
