THE CITY IN BRIEF
 Bastille Ball.
Court Francaise of the Foresters of America celebrated Bastille Day by giving a ball at Turner Hall Saturday night. . . . The hall was tastefully decorated with French and American flags.
Serenaded.
Mr. and Mrs. W.A. Rogers were serenaded by their friends and Fitzgerald’s brass band last night at their home, 118 Avenue 18 South. Mr. Rogers returned last week from the Klondike with a sack full of nuggets and married Miss Bertha Hart of this city. They asked the folks in and treated them royally, while “the band played on.” . . .
Sunday’s Bicycle Accident.
John Ryan took a bicycle ride yesterday morning with results disastrous to himself. While riding east on first Street about 9:25 o’clock on his way homeward, he was run into by an ice wagon that tore around the corner of Fifth and Vine streets just as the wheel man was passing.
Ryan was knocked down and the heavy vehicle passed over him, breaking his right leg at the hip joint. The injured rider was sent to the Receiving Hospital, where police surgeon Hagan set the bone and then had his patient removed to the Good Samaritan Hospital on West Seventh Street.
At last report, Ryan was resting easily.
