Three other cyclists had put up for

observed by a passing pedestrian. who
instantly and Indignantly mounted the
remaining machine aud dashed after
the cyclist who was chasing the thief.
A second later the owner OF the last
mentioned bicycle rushed wildly out.
and. seeing no other bicycle handy on

cab. Here there were three men on
stolen cycles and the fourth man In a

ultimately sentenced for two months
