wheel. and rode over the Missing Link
track. He was riding quite rapidly and
when ne reached a point near the bridge
ne discovered that a wire had been tight
ly stretched across the track between the
two posts of one OF the arches TO which
il was attached. The wire was "a strong
one. and was stretched about on level
with the throat of a man when riding a
wheel.
Mr.. Elicit barely discovered the wire in
time TO save himself from a very serious
accident.
As it was he fell from his wheel and
struck his leg against one of the posts
painfully, though not seriously, hurting
himself.

wire II was evidently put there with
malicious intent and the object was
either to injure some Of the bicycle riders
Of the city. or 10 throw them off their
wheels suddenly and then rob them
Mr.. Elicit reported the circumstance TO
several Of his friends. and they became
indignant at once over the outrage.
ON Monday night a wheelman was rid

place where Mr.. Elicit fell and he. too
discovered a wire stretched tightly across
The track. lie had some difficulty in stop
ping in time To avoid an accident. and
but for .he fact that he jumped just be
fore reaching the wire he would doubtless
have been badly hurt.
This glazing outrage has aroused the
keenest Indignation on the part Of the
wheclmen. and every effort will be made
10 bring the culprits 10 justice. II caught
