60 from de danger 81 conisions

tected from the danger Of collisions
with swiftly moving wheels.
Court would scarcely hold that one
class of bicyclists has a right to the
walk while another class has not. The
bicycle belongs in the same class as the
automobile. Inside of a very few years
automobiles will be almost as common
as carriages yet no one would claim
that they have a right on the walks,
because the street may be muddy.
OF course it is exasperating to have
to walk ones wheel past mud holes
where the streets are not paved, but
every class has to put up with some
unpleasant things.
The bicyclists themselves are by no
means all in favor of the proposed or
dinance. In fact, a large portion of
them realize that it would greatly en-
danger pedestrians and would be con-
tinually making trouble, even to those
who try for the most part to obey It's
provisions. and they do not wish to see
it passed.

BLOODY FIGHT.
Red Laird Pummels a Hack Driver
With Brass KnuckIes.

Fred Laird, better known as Red
Laird, stepped up behind Charles Rob
insOn, a hack driver who was standing
on the sidewalk between Sixth and
Seventh streets, Saturday evening about
o'clock and knocked him down, struck
and kicked him several times after he
fell.
Several bystanders say that Laird
approached Robinson from behind and
struck him blow on the side of his
head with a pair of brass knuckIes.
Robinson had no chance to defend him
self and when he was assisted to his
feet Laird had fed to an upstairs room
near by where Officer McElroy arrested
him.
Laird and Robinson had some trou-
bic a couple of weeks ago. Laird's
friends were busy raising a bond of $50
to get him out of jail. Three years ago
Laird was adjudged insane and sent to
the asylum to be treated for the cocaine
habit He was discharged after several
months treatment as cured. His friends
now say that Laird has reformed and
touches neither cocaine nor liquor.

BROKE HIS SKULL
Frank Glass Fell 20 Feet and Has
Since Been Unconscious.

A young colored man by the name of
Frank Glass fell from the third story
of Crawford's opera house Saturday af-
ternoon and will probably die from his
injuries.
Glass had been rehearsing for min
strel performance and was sitting in
chair in the door way. The chair was
tipped back against the door jam when
Glass was last seen. He had been
drinking and was warned not to sit in
such a dangerous position. Nobody saw
him as he fell but it is supposed that he
dozed off and lost his balance. The dis
lance to the pavement is about 90 feet
and when he was found few minutes
after he fell he was unconscious and
has been ever since. The injured man
was taken to the city Jail and then to
the Salvation Army hospital. The ply
sicians pronounce his injury conclusion
of the brain and as he has been uncOn-
scious for nearly SO hours there is little
hope of his recOVery.

Death Of Mr. John j. Graham

Our community was panied to
learn of the death of Mr. John j
Graham, which occurred in Ches,
ter, last Saturday night, of pneu
mona. Mr. Graham was born
here and spent the greater part of
his life here in the employ of diff
ferent mercantile establishments
as clerk or book keeper. He was
faithful in every position he ever
occupied and was universally re-
spected. He was about so years
of age, and leaves his wife and
one son surviving him. He served
as a confederate soldier, and in the
army as everywhere else he did
his duty fearlessly and bravely.
He was member of the Metho
dist church and in his Younger
davs was one of its highest Off
clals. Since his return from Ala
bama, about six years ago, where
he spent several years, his health
has been very poor. An honest,
upright, christian man has gone
to his reward. His remains were
brought here Monday for inter-
ment and laid at rest lin the new
Town cemetery. To the bereaved
wife and son we extend our heart.
