--Ben Sheline met with an accident Wednesday evening which came near resulting very seriously. He was riding a bicycle very rapidly when the machine broke and he was thrown violently to the ground striking his head. The shock rendered him unconscious during the night. He rallied in the morning however and will suffer no serious consequences.
