Classified Ad Recovers Fred King’s Appropriated Bicycle.

Some miscreant took Fred King’s bicycle last Sunday night and Fred began ta think he would never see it again, but he tried a Republican classified advertisement and his wheel was restored "to him. He has only a suspicion as to who took the wheel. Tuesday Earl Bruner, the telephone man, was driving up north and when he returned homeward past the Burk corner, he found the wheel, which had evidently been placed there purposely fpr him. tp see and return that some yonhg feiloW had lingered wtth his toWn sweetness so late Sunday night that he missed his last car and not wanting to walk, he appropriated Fred’s bicycle, having no intention to keep it. If his conscience will hurt him enough now to send Fred the cost of advertising, no particular 'harm will be done, although the practice is very bad and the guilty fellow is .flirting with a lot of trouble.
