Nine heated cyclists with the chronic
complaint Of motor speeditis gnawing
at their vitals arrived in Rock Island
yesterday from their home in Morris,

to which they had been invited by
telegram. Imagine the chagrin of the
motorists when they arrived here and
found that either there had been a mis-
take in the telegram or that they were
the victims Of a practical joker. The
75-mile trip was made in the morning
and the going was fairly good. The
cyclists enjoyed 150-mile ride at any
rate. That is, they enjoyed the first
lap of the ride, for their return home
must have been marred by the murder
