AN ERRATIc CYCLIsT
Does Hurdle Turn on His Wheel
That Results Disastrouslv

Charley Ruggles, clerk at the Ow
Drug store, better known among his
friends as Charley Giggles, had an ac-
cident yesterday afternoon, which, had
not fortune been kind, might have proved
serious for him. He had just quit work
and started home on his wheel As he
rode along the smooth pavement on
Main street he was oblivious to every
thing around him in anticipation of the
glorious Fourth he was going to have.
On reaching Eleventh street his easy
pace had developed into lively scorch.
Just ahead of him, and right in his
way, rolled heavy wagon, draw slow
ly along. There was plenty of room on
either side, but Charley must have i'm
agined that he was. something of hur-
die jumper for he ran plunk into the rear
end of the vehicle. but without going
over, as he evidently hoped to do. That
is, he did not go over the wagon, although
it is not true that he did not go bowling
over the pavement in way that would
excite the envy Of an East Indian
tumbler.
When he finally came to a halt he
found himself consddera bly, worse off for
his experience. Both his legs were
badly bruised, besides number of minor
injuries which are sufficient to warrant
the statement that Charley will spend
the Fourth of July indoors.

MUST SERVE HIS TIME
Phil Henley in Jail for Battery Com
mitted in March

Phil Henley was locked up in the city
jail last night to serve a sixty day SELL
tence for battery committed last March
on Frenchman in front of Jerry Hitch s.
restaurant on Third street. The assault
took place on the night of the opening
of the Anheuser-Buschs saloon. Henley
and the Frenchman had been drinking
in the place and when the latter started
out Henley followed him.
1t was claimed at the time that the as
sault was made that 1t was for the pur-
pose of robbery, and Henley was arrest
ed on that charge. The district attorney
did not think the evidence was sufficient
to secure conviction. however, and the
complaint was changed to one of bat
terry. He was convicted on this charge
and sentenced by Justice Morrison to
sixty days in Jail. The case was appeal
ed and Judge Smith yesterday sustained
the judgment Of the lower court. In the
meantime Henley had been out on bail.
Last night he was rearrested by Detect
i've Hawley and will now have to serve
his time.
