General Merritt at san

1t is the Intention OF the department
to start this expedition as soon as
possible. and so great IS the anxiety TO

have been issued to leave one trans
port behind II necessary to insure i'm
mediate sailing.
Active measures taken by the adj

CYCLE NON-ATTACHABLE.
Judge Hazen Decides That a Bicycle
Cannot Be Taken for a Debt.

Judge Hazen decided today that a BIZ
cycle is one of the tools of a mans trade
and therefore cannot be taken for a debt
The case was one in which the bicycle
Of c. G. Colburn, who is employed in the
Kansas Mutual office, was attached at
the instance of the Smith Drug company
on an old judgment. Colburn replevined
the bicycle and the case was called before
a jury.
Before the jury had time to decide, Judge
Hazen said that the bicycle would not be
held. He said that under the law which
excerpts a mans tools of trade from at
tachment the bicycle used by the individ>
ual could not be taken. He therefore
gave judgment in favor of CoIburn.
This is a question that has never before
been decided in a court. m fact, it has
been the practice to levy upon bicycles
for debts of individuals wherever found,
but Mr.. Colburn is the first to make a
fight. The bicycle was not worth more
than $25, but it served to settle a question
which will relieve the minds of more than
one owner of a bicycle.
The case will not be appealed.
