A BICYCLE STORY.
1t Comes from Belfast and Is Unique
Among Wheeling Yarns.

An arrest was made Sunday by the
police which has caused considerable
comment and at the time of it's occur
renee some little excitement.
A little boy playing in the rear of a
store at the foot of Main street came
across the pedal of bicycle protrudlng
from the ground and on moving 1t found
lit was connected with wheel The boy
informed Mr.. Gray of his find, who, in
turn, notified the police, and the party
went to. the rear OF. the store, land, after
looking over the ground, were of the
opinion that the wheel had been stolen
and was buried to escape detection.
After little labor the earth was dug
up, but 1t was found that the wheel was
fastened to an iron rod in the cellar W in
dow by large chain which was locked
with huge paddock. Nothing daunted,
the officers procured q ohisel and cut the
chain and then took the chain and wheel
to the lookup, where 1t was fastened up.
It.seems that short time ago two
tramps were arrested and sent to jail,
and on searching, them some bicycle tools
including an oil can and wrenohes, were
facts, viz, tramps bicycle, wrenches,
etc., and visited the Jail to look over the
articles there, In hopes of connecting the
affairs in some way. No connection could
be found in the articles and the tramps
pleaded not guilty to the charge Of steal
ing wheel, so the matter WAS allowed to
rest, until. further developments brought
an unexpected ending.
1t seems that popular young man in
this city, who clerks in his fathers store,
had an occasion, recently, to visit Sears
port, about six miles away, and being an
ardent bicyclist, he, in company with a
friend, made the trip. Everything passed
pleasantly, the young ladies were at home
ETC., etc., and it was late hour when
the two started for home. They had
completed the greater part of their jour
new without mishap, but the darkness
was too intense to see the lurking danger
and before they were aware the enemy of
the night a skunk) had attacked them.
The young men, 1t Is well enough to say,
had unpleasant reminders of that animal
the remainder of their journey.
Strange to say the young man (name
unknown) of whom we write buried his
wheel in large hole which he had dug
in the ground, believing it to be a
cleanser Of all evil and here 1t was found
BY theSpolioe. While the police are to
be congratulated upon their thorough
work, the laugh in this case Is surely on
them. The bicycle and chain were re-
turned Just as the owner was to place an
advertisement in the Age, which gives 1t
an appearance of a losing game all

Moors set foot in it, between whom and

pressed but ineradicable, enmity From
their mountain homes these men had
come to town that day on their pleasure
or their business, and as they entered it
bney were at no pains to conceal their
contempt for the towns people and their
doings.

tney whooped and laughed and ploughed
their way through the crowd over bread
and vegetables spread out on the ground,
and the people fell back before them with
muttered curses until they were come
near to the Saints House beside which
myself with my guide was standing
lhen L saw that the keeper of the Saints
house, the half-distraught creature whom
nau just observed, was splitting out at
them some bitter and venomous words.
Clearly they all heard him, and most of
them laughed derisively and pushed on.
But one of the number-a young Berber
with eyes of fire-drew up suddenly and
made some answer in hot and rapid
words. The man of the Saints House
spoke again, showing his teeth as he did

and was dead in an instant. In another
moment the police of the market had laid
hold of the murderer, and he was being
hauled off to his trial. "Come," whis-
pered my guide, and he led me by short
cuts through the narrow lanes to the
