“A Sixteen-year-old lad named John Bagley. Living in Covington, went out on his bicycle Saturday. While speeding through the streets of Ludlow at a rate in excess of the limit fixed by the Town Council he ran into Mayor R. H. Fleming, and sent him sprawling to the ground. Mayor Flemming jumped up before the boy could escape and after giving him a vigorous lecture ordered his arrest. The accident happened just as the Mayor was alighting from a street car. To-day the boy was fined $1 and costs for his performance.” From the New York Times, June 12, 1900. |
