Lawrence Beechler had narrow
escape from serious injury Saturday
morning when his bicycle collided
with an automobile driven by Frank
Fitzgerald at the corner of High ave.
nue. and Market street Fitzgerald
was going south and Beechler was go
ing north and his first sight of the
auto was when he was too close to
escape on either side. His presence
of mind then prompted him to hit the

him on top OF 1t when the collision
came. This IT did, and when 1t was
all over BsechleT was seated on the
hood Of the auto. He suffered some
minor injuries, but nothing serious.
His wheel, however, which was just

auto also suffered slightly, there be,
