ITALIAN PINCHED.
Man With Unpronounceable Name Violates Bicycle Ordinance.
Riding down the sidewalks of Main street with an apparent disregard for the blue coated limbs of the law, an Italian whose name was beyond the powers of the booking sergeant, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Officer Casshatt. The dark-hued individual, thinking not, and caring less, that he was violating one of the iron-clad laws of the city, was out for a Sabbath afternoon spin, and seemed unable to comprehend why his pleasure should be marred by the interference of a second party. However, he may have satisfactory explanation to deliver in rough jargon before Judge Huffman this afternoon.
