Ed. Pisha, a Bohemian. living
three miles from the city was
brought before Judge Drake this
morning and fined $40 for stealing a
bicycle from NJ. T. Dudley, Saturday
night.
Pisha was arrested at his home
and brought to the city by Chief
Smith and Sheriff Berry yesterday.
1t was found he had an unnecessary
, number of bicycles in his possession
and his arrest and conviction follow
ed. After a gruelling cross-eXamina-
ton Pisha pleaded guilty and the fine
imposed. He will probably learn that
it is easier to buy bicycles than to
pay fines amounting almost to the
cost of a new one for a few days use
| of a second hand machine.
Chief of Police Smith states, there
has been much thieving of bicycles
and like articles and declares he will
make every effort to stop it in the flu
ture. Upon payment of the fine Pisha
was released.

county will exceed the earlier est
nations by Owe three hundred pei
cent. On dealer states he has very
little Irvine on hand but that a ship
ment of 5000 pounds is expected OF
Wednesday. 1t is thought the short
age conditions will be relieved b.
the end of the harvest season. Under
estimation of the size of the crops il
given as the reason for the shortage
and the dealers are now using all thu
Irvine o%btainable as fast as it is man
ufactured.
