Bicycle and IL Sorry.
The bicycle fever struck Siletz. but
II did not last long, says the Lincoln
County Leader. Jack Ross, an upper
farm Indian, traded his horse to some
cuitus white man for bicycle. Very
impatiently he waited for the mud to
dry up 30 that he could try his new
steed. Finally one day last week he
started out to make his first trial. Co
ing down by the river. he selected
nice, smooth, grassy slope. After get
ting on and of few times in the usual
graceful manner Of beginners, he was
nnally firmly seated in the saddle. and
wabbled around in great shape for a
time. But fate was after him. In his
wabbdngs he happened to head the
machine down hill toward the river.
He was delight at the ease in which
he ran the machine, and did not notice
where he was headed until he was
about ten feet from the steep bluff,
tnat hung right over the deep water of
the river, but it was then too late. He
gave wild yell, pulled back on the
handle bars, and shouted "Whoa!" but
to no avail and at the next instant
Jack and the wheel made a graceful
curve and plunged into the deep, chilly
water of the Siletz river. Presently
very wet and thoroughly disgusted In
dian crawled unto the shore, dragging
a bicycle out after him, and now the
wheel Is again for trade.
