a horse and wagon, accompanied by driver, and
go across The country to Geneva, not douptlng he

correct. On the arrival OF the train he looked

He seemed much annoyed at being dis

beds. Rulloff was so lame from his walk 10 Auburn
that ne could scarcely get up stairs. and entering the
room he took OF his stockings ana showed his feet.
They were blistered and very sore. He SAID he had
run the whole distance from Ithaca to Auburn (not

the morning there was a boat going up the lake
that would land at Ashtabua on the way to Madi-

Schutr worked his way through 1t, RulOn following;

was no time to search In the crowd or to get Off
The wheels were already moving. Rullof was not

on Sunday morning, and that he could go 20 Madi-
