Had No Lamp on His Wheel
Come to Blows.
SPECTATORS TAKE SIDES
Second Fight Is Almost Precipitated
by Disagreement Over the
Merits of Case.

A fight between an officer and a
bicycle rider took place early this
morning about 1890 on Twentieth
street and when the trouble was over
and the man had been taken to JAIL
another fight was nearly precipitated
when several of the spectators ar
rayed themselves on opposite sides IN
regard to the matter. The bicycle
rider was riding up Twentieth street
in the wee hours of the night and lie
was minus the light which the city
ordinance requires bicycles to have at
night. An officer who was standing on
Third avenue noticed him and ordered
him to stop. Just what took place
then is in dispute. but in about two
minutes the air was full of policeman
and bicycle and rider. The midnight
rider soon got the worst of it and he
began using language which would
make professional cusser turn greea
with envy. He was soon subdued, how
ever, and taken to the police station
in the patrol wagon.
After the affair was over. several Of
the spectators expressed their opinion
of the fight and as they differed, an
other fight seemed about to be pull led
off, but the belligerants failed to get
beyond mere war of words.
Would Set Record.
Two young fellows, presumably from
Davenport, were arrested last night for
fast driving and their case will be
heard by Magistrate Smith this even
ing. The young fellows had too much
booze on board and they were trying

Officer Kinney, who charged them

were released after being fined 81 and
