ELKHART, Ind., July 19. After
Police Chief Northrup "had Issued or
ders Friday afternoon to arrest all
bicyclists on and after tonight who
had not equipped their wheels with
lamps and bells, Elkhart's bicycle sun
dry stores did a record breaking busi
ness and by 7 o'clock it was estimated
that COO lamps and as many bells
had been sold.
The enforcement of the city ordi
nance, which had long been a dead
letter, is due to a recent accident in
which an aged citizen was run down
and seriously injured on a dark thor
oughfare by a cyclist whose identity
was not learned.
A number of Elkhart business men
who ride their wheels to and from ihe
business district, a distance averaging
from six to eight blocks, have ex
pressed their opposition to the en
forcement of the ordinance. In the
language of one of them, "It is an
absurdity to ask us fellows tired and
weary after the day's work, to get
lamps, take thu trouble to light them
for such a short distance, and then
take a chanc on burning down our
woodsheds or homes because we for
got to blow them out."

gan, arrested in the lty Thursday
