eral days ago, says the Scottish Cycltst. A
cyclist fell from his machine one even
ing between 8 and 10 o'clock, on the
Cambridge main road, and, on being as
sisted and attended by policeman who
was near, said that he was suffering from
a wound in the region of the heart,
which had been inflicted by man who
rushed out on him from the roadside and
fired revolver at him.
He, the cyclist. fearing further at
tack, had ridden on fnriously after being
injured, and had covered nearly two
miles before he fell.
Since the affair the police have made
every effort to obtain clue to the young
mans assailant, but without avail. The
cyclist, who was taken to the hospital,
where bullet was extracted from his
left breast, is now reported to be pros
crossing favorably.
