Cycle Paths All Right.
In decision handed down by Judge
Canty it is held that the commission
ers of Henepin county have not only
the right to segregate a part of a
highway and improve it as a cycle
path, but they have right to protect
it from use by those other than
cyclists.
The court, in test case brought in
the district court of Hennepin county,
decides that the party against whom
the charge of violating the ordinance,
which prohibits the driving of teams
across the path, can be properly pros
ecuted, as the law is constitutional,
but in the particular case at issue
there was flaw in the Indictment.
The court therefore grants a new
trial.
The case is of interest to wheelmen
generally as it involves the question
of the boards right to set aside part
of highway for cyclists, and decides
that as it has that power the or
dinance which protects the path from
trespassers, is valid.

Two Men Shot.
The Palace saloon, in Moorhead, was
robbed and the burglary was traced to
two men who were located in a cheap
lodging-house in Fargo. Chief Muir
ply, with two Moorhead citizens, went
across and without consulting the To-
cal police, arrested the suspects and
started over the bridge into Min
nesota.
One man, known as Collins, who was
in personal charge of the chief, re-
sisted on the bridge and refused to go
further. Pulling a gun he shot MUIR
ply through the abdomen.
After firing he started to run, but
was tripped by w. T. Larrabee. In
the fall Collins lost possession of the
revolver, which Chief Murphy caught
| up and fired shot into the burglars
head as he lay on the sidewalk. Both
| men were taken to DR.. Larrow's hos
pital in Moorhead.
Murphy's injuries are said to be OF
| very serious nature, as it is thought
several intestines were cut by the bul:
let.
