WRITER'S VI | ROUGH
ING EXPERIENCE
MINNESOTA WRITER TAKES SIDE
DOOR PULLMAN BETWEEN
SPOKANE AND EVERETT AND
GOES WITHOUT FOOD AND
DRINK.

A man passed through here the
first of the week locked in a boxcar,
and was released at Everett in a ia
mishej condition. Two days in a
locked boxcar travelling across the
state between Spokane and Everett,
his sole companions being gnawing
and parching thirst, was the expert
ence Of A. G. Romming, graduate
of the university of Minnesota, who
came west in search of "roughing it"
material which he intends weaving
into a story. Romming was taken
from the boxcar at Everett Monday
afternoon in a famished condition, so
long had he gone without food and
drink, and when nOurishment was
given him by the police he could
scarcely partake of the meal.
The stowaway had been discovered
by Great Northern men when the box
car seal was broken in the Everett
yards. He was booked by the police
as a vagrant, but did not look the
part, for he is young man of edu-
cation and is well dressed.
