THE CYCLERS ABROAD.
The Boys Tell of Their Trip to
LamOnte-Sam Jones
Knocked Out.

Il
good shape early last Sunday morning,
long before the good people of Sedalia
had risen. The boys started from
here about $50 o'clock on a run to
Lamonte, where they arrived between
and 1880, just in time to relish an
excellent breakfast which had been
prepared for them at the Lamonte
house. Up to that time there had
not been any incident worth mention
ing.
After breakfast, the boys did lit
tie exercising, which, it seemed, the
whole populace turned out to see,
both sides of the street being fairly
alive with people, who watched every
thing with intense enjoyment, and
when one of the boys made a miscue
in trying to do anything, the populace
W. III nearly wild with laughter.
About $3.50. after having a consul
tstipn, the tie clyclers decided to
spend the balance of the day at PerIle
Springs, as it would be too mono;-
nous It Lamonte. There was a
freight train due at Lamone at 10
n M, so they m"de up their minds to
20 :hc rsst OF the way by train.
they arriv d at Warrensburg at IL a.
m. and took a spin about town. ard
arrived 4. the Springs at dinner tine.
A large crowd, two or three hun
dred in number, with mouths open,
surrounded them, staring like Apaches.
Late In the afte noon they took it in o
their heads 10 raise a little excitement
and fun, 81 started in and sang "Lir-
tie Annie Rooney" which succeeded
in drawing q crowd, as usual.
One OF the boys then suggested a
foot race, and they went to the top
of the first hill, the crowd following.
1t seemed as if all Missouri was there.
BY the way, we must not forget
the roast on "BOots" Guerrant and
Will Cline. They succeeded in max
ing the acquaintance of a couple of
fair charmers, who were delighted
with their escorts, but their ardor was
dampened when Will Bowles slept up
and told Cline that Logan would ike
to know who was keeping his peanut
stand while be was away. The youag
ladies' in question then wanted to
know if he really kept peanut stand.
That rather knocked the ardent
youths out of time. They blushed up
to the roots of their hair and babe the
young ladies good evning.
Sam Jones seemed to be the draw
ing card at the Springs that dav, but
he wasn't in it" when the Sedalia
Cyclers arrived, as they are a jolly
crowd all around. 1t is a cold day
in July when the boys of SEED lila get
left. They are all ''out of sight" and
everyone.
On their way home Walling took a
header and Cline accidentally went
over him. but the accident was not as
serious as first thought. He was,
however, compelled to ride to town
using one foot.
The boys that went on the run were
Capt. KOock, First Lieut.. Guerrant,
Second Lieut.. Bowie, President Kel-
ley, Secretary Looney,V.M. Scroggs,
Chas. NJ. Ellis, Will Cline, Will Lo-
gan and w. w. Walling.
