 eus injuries. Young Rosen and tw : friends. had been riding their bicycles O
 Main street during the afternoon and a
 the time of the accident were riding u
 Main street and had reached poip
 about opposite DeVillers' drug store O l Main street. MT. Bartlett who was fol
 lowing the youngsters up Main stree blew the horn of his machine to war ! the boys that he wished to pass then
 Believing all to be well he had swerVe l his auto to go past tho bicycle rider
 when suddenly without any warning tn boys started to make the turn to go dow 1 Main street MT. Bartlett applied hl
 brakes, but the Rosen boy had bee
 knocked down before the automebil could be stopped, the front wheel of ti
 machine passing oxsF the bey's leg. Ff Injured lad was carried into BeVAler
 store and a physician sumnloned whe 1 it was found that no bones. had bee
 broken. The lad was taken to his hon and the accident was reported to ehit : killeurey.
 ,, According to witnesses of the aceidel : 1 Mir Bartlett was entirely free fro : blame as the boys had given no sign; s of their desire to turn. The Rosen be s stated that he had heard the horn b, s thought it was from machine comiE f out of Walnut street Other bicycle ri CTS might profit from the Rosep boy : failure 10 obey the rules of the road ar
 remember to signal when they desire
