Morning.

William Readel, formerly janitor of
the rooms of the Capital City Wheel
mems Club, was tried and convicted in
the City Justice Court yesterday on
two charges of petty larceny, preferred
by members of the club.
The evidence showed that in Deem
Der of last year Readel took a bicycle
belonging to George j. Jackson, after
he and Jackson had had a difficulty
respecting the result of a try-out at
Agricultural Park, held for the purpose
of selecting competitors in the Reno
relay race.
About six weeks ago Readel took the
wheel apart, and after the frame had
been found by other parties. he stole a
similar frame from Jones' cyclery. and
had it and the wheels and gear Of
Jackson's bicycle put together at Coop
er'S cyclery.
Readel admitted that he had commit
ted the theft, but said he had taken
Jackson's wheel to get even with him
for an insult, and that he took Jones
frame in order to return Jackson's
wheel. He will receive sentence for
both convictions to-day.
