Page 2. --- Michael Stiles and Juvenile Rode All Day Round Don Valley ---- JAILED FOUR MONTHS ---- County Police Court, County Buildings, Magistrate Keith. Charged with theft of a horse, on which he rode the Don valley trails for a whole day, and with theft of a bicycle which he rode 80 miles to Lindsay, Michael Stiles, 16, pleaded guilty today before Magistrate Keith. The boy was sentenced to three months at Guelph for the horse theft, the term to be concurrent with a similar penalty imposed at Lindsay for housebreaking. He was also given a one-month consecutive term for bicycle theft.

Det. Harold Speight of East York police said that Stiles and a juvenile had taken two horses and saddles from the stables of the Bar-Branch riding school on Broadview Ave. on Sept. 17. The horses were ridden around the Don valley all day and were later found abandoned one and a half miles from the stables.

Stiles told the court he had been working as a machine shop operator in Toronto, but recently had lost a finger and was waiting for compensation. Det. Speight said the boy had been living alone in Toronto, his mother having gone to Sudbury.

anyway thanks to all this bike-theft and vandalism that's been happening over the years, I'm gonna study to become a Touhou-style youkai magician, and then I'm gonna put a curse on my bicycle that causes me to know the location of anyone who touches it or removes any part of it (I'll turn it off whenever I need to take it to the bike shop). being that I'm going to be touching it when I ride it, I'll never get lost again because I'll always know where I am. this will be the primary benefit of doing so, especially after I'm done with the other thing

"RODE 130 MILES FOR ASSISTANCE," Hamilton Spectator. August 30, 1912. Page 1. --- Wife Ill, Albert Evans Tried Hard To Raise Funds ---- Judge Freed Him After Hearing His Unusual Story --- With his wife lying seriously ill in the city hospital and without the necessary funds to pay for her keep or to provide the necessaries of life, Albert Evans "borrowed" a bicycle belonging to Edgar Richards, Park and Market streets, and rode all the way to Peterboro, a distance of 130 miles, in order to try and borrow a little money to care for his wife.

When he arrived at Peterboro he was exhausted from his long and arduous ride. He immediately made his way to the home of his father, where he felt sure he would be made welcome and receive that assistance he was so much in need of, but there a cold reception awaited him, the father absolutely refusing to give him any money. Being without any funds whatever, and feeling despondent at being received so coldly by his own father, the unfortunate man disposed of the wheel for the sum of $15, which he intended to bring back to Hamilton for the use of his sick wife. In the meantime, however, the owner of the wheel had reported its loss to the police, and after inquiries had been made Evans was placed under arrest by the Peterboro police on a charge of stealing the machine and brought back to Hamilton.

That was the story as told by Evans himself to Judge Monck this morning, and although the man was found guilty of stealing the bicycle the judge decided to let him go on condition that he refund the money, which he readily promised to do. It came out that a short time ago Evans had worked for the complainant, which accounted for the quick way in which the machine was traced after its loss was reported. Evans claimed that he had no intention of stealing the machine, but when he found his father would give him no money he had become despondent and sold it.

As soon as the man was given his liberty he called up the Dominion hotel, where he had been staying previous to his arrest, and made inquiries about a suit case he left there. The grip had not been checked and the proprietor informed the man that it could not now be found. Evans went and reported the matter to Sheriff Middleton, who in turn advised him to ask the police to try and locate it for him. It is not thought that the grip has been stolen, but may have been misplaced, and the police are in hopes of locating it.

"Bicycle Thief Sentenced." Kingston Daily Standard. July 17, 1912. Page 5. --- Three additional months were added by Judge McDonald today at Brockville to the sentence of one year and 260 days imposed yesterday on Frank Grey for the theft of bicycles. Grey was brought before Acting Magistrate Patterson charged with breaking jail and was committed for trial. Later he was brought before the judge and when asked why he made the attempt Grey replied that the open front door of the court house was such a temptation that he thought he would take the chance.
