The Evening Telegram has been
most numerically berated because
it once said there was no field for a

that if we believed there was Ich a
field we could supply it. WI at the
Evening Telegram did say is printed
below. 1t is taken from it's issue of
April Is, 1914, over a year before a
morning paper was ventured in
Lakeland. 1t seems from the events
that have since transpired that il
knew what it was talking about. Tt
believes that what it said was true
,then and that it is equally true to-
day. and it seems that those who
criticised us most for saying it now
agree with us. The following is the

Wilbur Sperry Just Learning to Ride
Bicycle, Encountered Auto.
Master Wilbur Sperry, the ten year
old son of Superintendent and Mrs. F.
j. Sperry, narrowly escaped a serious
accident early this afternoon, while
riding the new bicycle which he re-
ceived as birthday gift last Thurs
day. AS it was he sustained a severe
fall from his wheel when it collided
with the automobile driven by George
Smithson, the front wheel of his
bicycle was smashed and as he fell to
the ground Master Wilbur struck on
his face bruising it quite badly. 9th
erwise he was unhurt, and will be
ready to take an outing on his wheel
as soon as it is repaired.
Mr.. Smithson stated that he was
driving his car north on Broad
street when he saw the boy coming,
and evidently intending to turn off
Broad street to Cherry street. Mr..
Smithson thought the boy was going
that way, but it appears the young
rider changed his mind, or lost control
of the bicycle, which collided with the
hub of the rear wheel of the automo-
bile, breaking the bicycle and throwing
the rider to the ground. Mr.. Smithson
stated that he was overjoyed to find
that the boy was unhurt, and although
he did not feel that he was at fault he
intended to have the young mans
bicycle fixed up as good as new.

YOUNG WARD Is ARRESTED
He Is Charged With Stealing Check
Amounting to $51.


Guy Ward, eighteen years old, we'll
known to the police, having been in
trouble more than once before so as
to require their official action, was
locked up at the station late yesterday

and cashing it. Ward was charged
with having stolen ISL check from
a ditcher named Blomquist at a camp
at Darfur. Ward, it was alleged,

story entirely. He was held to await
the coming of the sheriff of Watonwan
county. He was arrested at Sibley
park.
The boy stated that his father, an
engineer of the Omaha road, had been
operated on for appendicitis in the
twin cities and was undergoing treat
ment at Mudbaden.
