Besides those which have been re,

cycles were Stolen in this city be-

run down the miscTednts.
Major Sylvester has issued a card
giving the names and descriptions Of
oil the missing wheels that have been
reported to the police. These cards have
been given to all policemen and cycle

Of the wheels have disappeared as com

police that many of the wheels stolen
here are disposed of In nearby towns in
