Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 1, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 September 1897 — The Lampless Bicyclers. [ARTICLE]

The Lampless Bicyclers.

Of the various parties charged with bicycling after night without lights, Frank Sayler has plead guilty and was fined $2 and costs. Kenneth Morgan called on the justice and explained that he merely jumped on another person’s bicycle, at Geo, Goff’s place, and rode to the bridge, after a party he wished to speak to, then back to Liberal corner. He did not intend to violate the law, but did not think to notice whether the bicycle had a lamp on or not. Virgie Austin also called and explained that she had her lamp on all right but had a head end collision with Louella McCoy that evening, breaking her lamp. The Squire has these two cases under advisement. Louella McCoy appeared this afternoon and paid the customafy $6.80. The others for whom warrants have been issued have not yet appeared before the Court. I have the Studebaker wagon for sale in all styles. C. A. Roberts.
