was very good, as was Kerwin Will

Notwithstanding that we have an
ordinance against it bicycles are be-
ing ridden on the towns sidewalks
with impunity. On Saturday night
a man was nearly run down by a BIZ
cycle. rider on High street. The
street was very dark at, the point and
the rider had no light on the wheel,
neither did he sound bell. The man
in question had good hearing and by
the aid of his ears discerned pecu-
liar noise behind him. No sooner
did he turn around to see what the
noise was than the bicycle rider shot
by him at rapid speed, holding his
head down SO as not to be identified.

is stopped, somebody some of these
