Mise Adams is unable to be at her
desk in Pease & Mays Office today on
account of slight accident which che
experienced yesterday at noon. When
coasting down the grade at the west
end of Fourth street on her bicycle, she
fell from her wheel and striking some
rocks broke the wheel and was bruised

experienced similar accident. 1t is

Telephone Company, returned last night
from business trip in Colorado. Mr..
worse says that they experienced a
i terrible winter in that state, and that

of the time being loaded down to the
1 guards. A merry old fight is evidently
now on, however.-Sentinel.

Residents in the vicinity of Ward &
Kerns' stable last evening were much
entertained by some trick riding on a
bicycle, the performer being the digni-
fed scribe of the Times-Mountainee
His favorite trick seemed to be striking
the ground with full force and almost
pying his form, And then having
writed his column (spinalj he would
gaze about as if in search of an item OIL
a delinquent subscriber. His antics
were amusing, and were calculated
to lead one to believe the Mount.
