"James Florence, the amateur [highwheeler] bicyclist, who accompanied
J.T. Johnson to this country [USA], has made himself scarce, taking
with him a quantity of tools and two racing machines belonging to
Johnson, thus leaving him in a bad predicament. It is supposed that he
has sold the machines and returned to England. A warrant has been
issued for his arrest."
