head caused by a large stone in the
hands of Steroski. The wounds bled
so freely that the man was almost OK

captured.

1t is said the local wheelmen are not
taking very kindly to the repairing be-
ing done on the Main street by the
street commissioner. Their objection
is to the broken stones which Of course
they cannot ride over. and they have
appointed a committee to wait upon
council regarding the matter 1t is
more than probable, however, that they
will obtain little satisfaction as il must
be conceded that there are other things
beside the comfort of wheelmen to be
considered in making the repairs.
