John Walsh, who
the great American tra
walking from San Francisco, |
to New York City in 90 days for a
wager of $5;000, registered at Hotel
McGinnis on Saturday afternoon
at 4 o'clock and remained over for
an hour. He was in good physicial
condition and said he was feeling
fine. It is bevond a doubt that he
will win the purse unless he should
take sick. Mr. Walsh said he was
advertising the Dr. Reed shoe and
is now wearing his seventh pair
since he started on his journey in
October. The pair he was wearing
he said, had covered 1000 miles.
The best ti me made ssnce he start-
ed was 86 miles in 14 hours. He
was obliged to register at Hotel
McGinnis, which was one of his
regular checking stations en route.
Walsh is being followed by two men
in an auto to certify that he is mak-
ing good.

his Dog is a Fisherman
Friday John Kramer was
himself fishing on the
banks of the Little Chickies creek
and had as his companion Louis
Siller’s dog. The water was clear
and a fish was seen nibbling at
John’s hook. The dog seemingly
saw the fish and quick as a flash
made a plunge into the water. He
eturned to the shore with a fair
ed sucker in his mouth. This
roves that dogs are not only good
br hunting but can be used for
shing as well.
