BICYCLE RIDERS CLOSE CALI.
Irwin Brunk Ran Wheel Into Auto
and Was Knocked Unconscious
Fast Riding of Wheels in Town a
DANGEROUS Practice


Irwin Brunk, a 16-years- white
boy, who lives in East Lumberton,
bad close call yesterday afternoon
about 2:30 o'clock when he ran a
bicycle into DR.. T. c.. Johnson's au-
tomobile on Elm street. The boy was
going down the east side of Elm
street and DR.. Johnson drove his au-
to on Elm from East Third. The
bicycle struck the side of the auto
and Brunk and another small boy,
who was on the bicycle with him,
were thrown to the street. Brunk
was knocked unconscious. He was
taken to the Thompson hospital and
was able to go home late yesterday
afternoon. The other boy was some
what shaken up. Those who saw the
accident say DR.. Johnson was not to
blame in the least.
Boys owning bicycles come in from
miles in the country and speed them
on the paved streets in town. This
is dangerous business and should be
stopped. This reporter has seen {
half-dozen boys from 10 miles in th'
country riding bicycles in a row OF
the principal streets Of the town a
a rapid rate recently.

the merry throng of masqueraders,

INDUCED in on this spooky evening.
Around the apple bobbing tub
masks must be removed, and great
fun was caused by revealed Identities.
Much credit is due the girls for
the attractive and tasteful decora-

entirely by pumpkin lanterns, which
shed just the right sort of light for
ghost stories, the telling of which
