Smashed The Bicycle Pump

SMASHED THE BICYCLE PUMP

John Schmidt, who says his home is in Detroit, was arrested Monday morning by Sheriff Gillen on the charge of breaking the automatic bicycle pump at Wagner & Co.'s store and taking 10 cents from it.

It appears that Schmidt attempted to inflate the tires of his wheel at the pump after depositing a cent in the receptacle used to receive money. The machine it is alleged would not work and Schmidt broke it to get his money back. It is said that he abstracted 10 cents instead of the cent which he deposited.
