Rozeman. Mont, June 25.-There Is evil
dence at hand to prove that the city POI
lice play no favorites in the matter OF enT
forcing the bicycle ordinance. +!
Recently the mayor of the city emuiaF-
ed the foolish virgins and went. out for q
spin on his wheel without oil enough fa
his lamp to last until the shades Of eyen1
ing came on and as a result he was nap
bed by the vigilant night watchman as
he was scorching homeward and there
now reposes in the exchequer of the city
a silver dollar CLEANED from the pockets
of his honor the mayor. Following TINS
came the downfall of the deputy sheriff
who was b~oycotting the Standard Oh
company and riding with his lamp unlit.
Then a daughter of one of the aldermen
came in for a share of the laws ven
geance and several other dollars were
picked up from a variety of sources. the
night watchmen say there will be no dark
lantern work in the city of Bozeman II
they can help it and it appears that the
shining marks already made are good
example to those who ave been riding
in disregard of the ordinance as no ar
rests have been made in the last few
days.

three hundred dollars left over from the
volunteers reception, and the amount &C

dollars. It is earnestly hoped that the

in this city will BE taken care of in a way
that will make amends for the lack of q
celebration of Independence day. ~
