Falls was struck by a bicycle and
knocked violently to the ground
while crossing the street Aug. IL. She
was unconscious for a short time and
was badly bruised and famed. The
gallant wheelman dragged her to the
curbiDg as soon as she came to suffi-
GENTLY to sit up, left her to find
her way home as best she
could. Mrs. Williams does not know
who the rider was, but thinks he var
riding fast, and is confident he raIy
